To go along with everything else that 2016 conspired to throw in our face, the Major League Soccer season was no less sensational. The teams that contested the 2015 MLS Cup Final both failed to make the playoffs, Landon Donovan made a remarkable return to action and the entirety of the Seattle Sounders season was basically made for Hollywood.
And while the quality of MLS improves year after year from top to bottom, the league still has a deserved reputation for being somewhat ridiculous. Kei Kamara became the first footballer booked for twerking, the MLS Cup semifinal was delayed because the 18-yard boxes were wrong and Steven Gerrard was frequently allowed to start games.
