Makelele considering playing for MLS next season..

Saw it on skysports - he wants to play for MLS sometimes next season.

Ok this is just PATHETIC. It's not that I hate USA or anything like that but seriously this is just getting stupid.. its all about money these days - now everyone wants to play for MLS. I don't think its a good thing if USA starts getting football stars and other known players in the modern game - but let them stick with baseball, american football, etc..leave football to europeans/south americans and others who actually enjoy this sport.

Did the MLS kill your dog? talk of an overreaction.

Forza Suarez! (ps brotha can you spare a dime?)
Why all the hate for the MLS? It's not players' faults for wanting to finish off their careers there.

This must be the only board where people start to curse and talk alot of BS once something doesn't go their way - or if they don't like the thread. For the guy who told me to STFU - can you say anything productive - instead use that language. Am I talking to 13 yerolds here.

Are you gonna tell me Beckham came to relax and end his career in a nice slow enviroment getting 250mill ?? sure buddy .. I ain't that naive and stupid.

Imagine Shaq, Kobe, Wade and LeBron going to play in European basketball league, ROFL - same thing here.. Americans buying European club teams.. HEY its all good - you don't have to agree with me. One day you'll see SOCCER being played with players wearing helmets on.. and tight thights.. if you enjoy that ..than thats fine by me. (H)

oh god...

ofcourse money is one of the main factors why they go. wouldnt you go to work to a job, that would be similar to the one you have now, only to be paid 5 times more, and the job would be alot less stressful?
seriously, think about it. youre being negative about this, while if the same happened to you, you'd accept it in a heartbeat.

Beckam is coming to the U.S not just for financial reason, but also because he wants to be part of the development of football here in the U.S

One day you'll see SOCCER being played with players wearing helmets on.. and tight thights.. if you enjoy that ..than thats fine by me.

Now this is an over the top statement. It will never happen

Players already wear tights if they want, Adebayor does it every month but May-August.

And if those clubs pony up the cash yes, those players would go there.

Why the hell are you bitter that football is being developed all over the world? Leave it to Europeans? How ******* stupid is that? Wouldn't you want your favorite sport to become even bigger in the world?

seriously, johan, this thread makes absolutely no sense. i may have sounded harsh up there, but thats just because everything you fear will come out of this, is 100% unreasonable.

The pair of posts made by Johan in this thread so far have told me one thing about her: it must be that time of the month. :lui: :fluffy: :boohoo:

ok maybe i didn't clearify why im upset. Seems like USA will control the football market and one day most if not all players will come and play in the American league. This could give USA enough power to start their own game ideas i.e changing things, changing rules - putting their own stamp on this beautiful game. Do any of you remember how USA (MLS) used to take their PK's.. ?? More half of the planet was doing the way its supposed to be done.. what they did was having a ball 20 meters from the goal..having one striker run with the ball and go 1 on 1 versus the keeper... how fu*ked up is that man ??

So my whole point is what if USA becomes the biggest puzzle when it comes to football and if they start to own everyone.. number of things could change that will put this legendary sport in jeopardy...

the irony of this post is that the MLS has been getting ever more european each year. as you mentioned, when it was started, league officials tried several things to "make the game more interesting." the only one of those things that has survived all eleven years is the playoff format, and even that's taken a lot of flack from fans and been reformatted over time.
also, if it makes you feel better, MLS officials met with Bundesliga officials this winter to discuss how to run a globally competitive league. so I doubt if they're planning on trying anything revolutionary.

^ Like mentioned, the USA isn't trying to change things, they're becoming more like Europe in terms of Football. They simply want to make their league higher quality so that the fans will be even more interested. And, if something like you mention was to happen, it would take many, many years.

Dude, your example is completely silly.

They stopped doing that because the SOCCER fans in the US didn't like it.

Man... every once in a while you meet a real idiot in life....:nape:
