Tim Bray shares his experience attending the MLS semifinal between Vancouver Whitecaps FC and LAFC, a dramatic 120-minute match that went to penalty kicks. Beyond the game recap, he reflects on how getting into soccer has made him lose patience with other televised North American sports, primarily due to the constant advertising interruptions in football, basketball, and hockey. He contrasts this with soccer's two continuous halves of uninterrupted play, and recommends checking out local MLS teams for affordable, ad-light entertainment.
