The College Draft Doesn't Make Much Sense for MLS

Submitted by John, Jan 29, 2008 16:18

The MLS has yet to understand that until they are willing to pay as they do in Europe the best young talent in the USA will continue to go play in Europe. Young college stars are exactly what the MLS needs, put players on the field that the young soccer players in this country can relate to. Most of the best goalkeepers in the world are Americans.....who all play somewhere outside the USA.
