So, what ...... it's only a place for old pros to go and milk a pension anyway.

;D

.....yes but if the MLS fails then soccer is back to square one in the US.


We've done this stuff before, the NASL with Pele, Beckenbauer, and Best and so on.....it worked for a while but faded as the players got older and the league didn't use ANY money to help with stadiums, turf, or bringing in younger talent.

I want the US to be the best at soccer and with our resources and talent pool we SHOULD be able to make continuous progress but the thing that always hurts us is no one here pays attention to it and that leaves the young players thinking "Why should I waste my time doing that, it's not worth it"

Beckham is a guy who the media will just eat up and he's playing with Landon Donovan basically the leader of the US national team.....it SHOULD boost soccer in the US
