I think that might be why I enjoy the World Cup so much more than league soccer. I know who the US national team players are.
I tried to follow the Philadelphia Union when they started up, but their games are often on against the Phillies, a match they will lose every time.

1. If you're willing to pay for the additional channel, you can almost always get 9 out of 10 soccer games that are played in the English Premier League each week. All but the worst of the EPL teams are on TV every week.
2. Maybe get a DVR? The one positive about being a follower of a MLS team is that it is very easy to watch the game hours later without having run into any spoilers.
