re: Some Of Our Guys Opting To Develop In MLS Rather Than Europe

Since 1992, Argentina and Brazil haven't produced the highest levels of play, often using tactics that have been surpassed by Western Europe. Brazil, with it's recent influx of money, seems set to become one of the major leagues of the world.
The Netherlands is a shell of its former glory. The EPL has been better than the Netherlands for at least 15 years, yet you say that great league doesn't produce a great national team? Which is true.
My point being is that its more about talent production from the youth set up than it is the level of play in a domestic league. Very few French players in their golden age played in Ligue 1, although they got their start there. That golden age had everything to do with the restructuring of their youth set-up, culminating with the opening of Clairefontaine in 1988.

Dude, I said nothing about Eredivisie being on par with EPL. It may be a shell of its former glory, but MLS is still miles from its level in terms of talent produced or teams in major competitions. Every day I read about players transferring from Holland and Brazil to massive global teams. And MLS has exactly ZERO of these transfers in its history.
