The point above about none of the home nations making the Euros was outstanding. But the point I really liked was about Latvia and Slovenia! That’s like Bahrain or Qatar qualifying out of the AFC, something which NEVER happens. When the World Cup is held in Asia or the Americas we see how poor the European countries fare when out of their element.

I also would submit comparing leagues is just plain dumb. England doesn’t have the altitude, heat or the great distances that need to be traveled like the US. America doesn’t have the rain, the real grass pitches and the self important fans of England. Comparing Tigers to Bears my friends. I find this debate everytime it comes up to be juvenile.

Just to let you know i been in england twice now and have been to Chelsea. Nice tube stop there btw.

If, the MLS is as bad as you think how come we keep having players, especially Yanks being signed from the MLS to play in the EPL. Last year, a keeper that couldn’t play in the MLS, no knock on him btw, did a very good job in the EPL and last I heard Brian McBride was wanted back by Fulham.

I can rattle off a long long long list of English or UK players who have FLOPPED in MLS. Know your football before responding in such a typically ignorant and Brit fashion.

The fact that none of the home nations could even qualify for the Euros speaks loudly about the lack of quality in the English lower leagues. You know I recall a time when Eric Cantona and David Ginola could not even get called up to the French National Team yet they dominated the Premier League.

Has Wales EVER qualified for a major tournament? Naming Wales would be like me saying “we have internationals from Guatemala so we must have a great league.” Considering Latvia made the Euros in 2004 and Slovenia made the WC in 2002 out of UEFA qualifying don’t pretend like it is impossible to qualify.

You know nothing of MLS or football on this side of the globe. Do not pretend as if you somehow are knowledgeable about it.

Someone like United Fan should broaden his horizons and watch MLS before believing the UK media’s ignorant commentary about the league.

Honestly, do you think Claudio Lopez or Marcello Gallardo both of whom England fans should know and remember would play in League One? How about Pepe Rojas? Blanco? Ruiz? Toja? Martinez? Angel? Gomez?

Give it up already. Your media is so bit by the McLaren era that they feel in order to be jingoistic they must trash everything outside of Europe.

How many players who have played recent World Cups are in League one or League Two?

I am not as high on MLS as most Americans. Personally I think it is a decent league but run by dishonest people. Mexican Football I prefer to MLS and would put almost any Mexican team in the PL and take my chances with them to finish anywhere from 5th to 15th.

Back to my point. If MLS is like League Two, why are so many players who have participated in recent World Cups and Copa Americas in the league? Does League Two boast lots of World cup and Euro veterans? (The Euros and Copa are interchangeable here since we are talking about leagues in different parts of the world)

I’d like an answer before you shoot off your mouth like this again.
