According to an analysis of more than 100 million blogs, message boards and postings on social Web sites performed with Zeta Interactive's RelevantNoise software technology, MLS was third worldwide in the total volume of soccer posts, at 16 percent. MLS followed the English Premier League (42 percent) and Italy's Serie A (27 percent) but was ahead of Spain's La Liga (14 percent) and Scotland's Premier League (2 percent).

The analysis also found, however, that MLS was last in positive buzz in the posts, with only 3 percent, compared with the Premier League (47 percent).
