wonder how long before we start seeing a core group of our players reach levels where they are considered to be some of the elite players in the world. Tim Howard must be there right now as far as goalies go.

Dempsey was voted best XI one year in the EPL for Fulham.


so that would be liking being named all-pro in the NFL? He was or is a superstar in the EPL?

Beasley had a good run before injuries and the occasional racist car bombing in Scotland caught up to him.

John Harkes was a pretty big deal with Sheffield Wednesday in the 90s.

Clint Mathis would do Clint things in MLS, get signed by a Euro club, immediately show up and do more Clint things. Then he'd start acting like Clint, and they'd release him, and he'd go back to MLS, do more Clint things, go to Europe, do Clint things, get released, do some MLS Clint things, go back to Europe and do some more Clint things and so on.

No, it would be like a team MVP award. He was well known in the BPL, but wasn't considered to be one of the best in the league (besides to Fulham and American fans).

Someone who is good at Final Cut could easily convince newbies that Clint Mathis was one of the top 10 players of all time.
