Major League Soccer (MLS)

[BCWWF]

I didn't mean to offend you, but everything you have said in this thread has been degrading what MLS is and in a condescending tone. Example:

Don't mean he's any shitter than the crop of idiots in MLS.

I've tried to explain numerous times why it is the way it is here, but you are stuck on the same pretenses that most Englishmen (that I've heard, at least) are. There's some notion displayed in the tabloids and reflected in what you have said in this thread that MLS is a terrible organization and has no merit to exist. I don't understand why. Americans have only really been playing soccer for 20 or so years now, of course our league is minor. But no, every player is not terrible, and yes, the league is growing quite rapidly. I love to discuss the growth, but you were stuck on insulting the league and its players.

I'm sorry saying that Robbie Fowler offers nothing to American soccer offended you, but again you are taking it out of context. Of course experienced European and South American players add to the game. You've already trashed the league for having guys like Darren Huckerby. The point is simply that Robbie Fowler was linked to several clubs in this league and no team deemed him worthwhile. And to be honest, of any player I think he fits the description of what the United States doesn't want more than anybody else—he is old, washed up and is simply looking for a paycheck.

The other players you mentioned are not of the class of solid Europeans, but they are competitive in the league. Rohan Ricketts, Darren Huckerby, Carl Robinson, etc. never had the success of Fowler, but they came to MLS with more than simply the intention of collecting a big paycheck before they retire.

Bullshit. How is it? I haven't said it's a shit league. I said English players want to go over there and think they are gods. Also, on top of this, everything i said was degrading??? How is this:

You don't understand why? Really... I fucking don't. Seriously, who has said this? I certainly haven't, and I'm proud it exists.

There's no way even .2% of the population of football fans would even think, let alone, say this.

Again, I was abusing English players going over there. That's the main topic I was on and what the idiots reference refers to.

Huckerby was always average at best, the rest weren't even near that. Decent game here and there. Fowler was a god for Liverpool.

Saying he is after a paycheck? He is one of the richest ex-footballers in the world and was listed in 2005 or 2006 as one of the 1000 richest Britons. He doesn't need a shitty paycheck that couldn't match his property and investments portfolio anyway, He's rated at £28m, but net value is estimated at £127m. He and Steve McManaman invested in racing horses with their company quite successfully.
