re: NASL vs MLS

Essentially just think about it--if they could be on an MLS roster, making the MLS minimum, they would (because it's more money). So, the gap in talent between even the best NASL players and worst MLS players is at least there. There are a few guys, naturally, who might be slightly better than the worst MLS guys--but that's it. So yes, it's a lower level.

With that said, level of soccer doesn't determine how fun it is. League of Ireland is one of my favorite leagues and it definitely isnt the best stuff on fare.
