This is a great video showing the highlights of the various MLS teams. It profiles some of the top stars in the league and shows some great goals. If you enjoy following MLS teams, you'll love this video. It captures the best action and the most important moments in each club's bid for a spot in the playoffs. Coverage of the playoffs was also well done. This is a video all fans will want to have for their library.

I found this a joy to watch and to say that Cobi Jones is the best player on this video.

Could have better production but is well worth the money and is very entertaining for a fan of soccer.

Major League Soccer 1999: Year In Review is a complete video diary of Major League Soccer's fourth season. Watch as ESPN'S Rob Stone chronicles the results of all 12 MLS squads from opening day through MLS Cup '99. Relive evey glorious goal, diving save and crunching tackle of the 1999 season. See goal-scoring superstars like Jason Kreis, Roy Lassiter, Jaime Moreno, Joe-Max Moore and Cobi Jones rack up goal after stupendous goal. Watch midfield generals Marco Etcheverry, Carlos Valerrama and Mauricio Cienfuegos light up the pitch with spectacular displays of ball handling, trickery and passing. Get blown away by the powerful tackling of veteran defenders Alexi Lalas, Marcelo Balboa, Robin Fraser and Eddie Pope. MLS 1999: Year In Review examines the inner workings of Major League Soccer's fourth season. All of the season's major trades, coaching changes and front office moves are highlighted. Celebrate the opening of the first U.S. soccer-specific stadium in Columbus. Check out the L.A. Galaxy under new head coach Sigi Schmid. All the while, watch as D.C. United charges towards an unprecedented thirs league title in four years.

Again D.C. United claim the crown as MLS champs. Rob Stone does a quality job of narration with fantastic highlights from the 1999 MLS season. Each team is profiled and the stats pack is a nice touch for dvd.

This video is great because it recaptures plays in important soccer games and records soccer history and styles of play that will become soccer history. I would love to see other unique games like the 1979 WORLD CUP with the Netherlands team (many of whom were killed in a terrible plane cash.) Their style of play was unique and was taught by one of the most innovative soccer coaches of that time.
