My point? There are good players everywhere on this damned planet. People need to stop looking at "Europe" (especially Europe as the 12 most recognizable clubs) as the end-all, be-all, fix-all for soccer - American soccer in particular.

Exactly. Why can't the US develop their own format that works best for the talent in this country that will produce the best results.

The MLS becoming a top notch league is pretty much the only way soccer ever gets into the conversation with the big 4 in this country.

As long as the best games are played half way around the world at inconvenient times, the sport will never be more than a novelty.

The time zone issue hasn't gotten enough play as a favor in why this particular world cup has been so popular imo.
