Klinsmann: Best US players should play in Europe and not in MLS
Garber: Klinsmann's comments hurt the MLS
If the ultimate goal is a World Cup I think Klinsmann is spot on.
The MLS is increasing becoming the place where aging international stars come
to feather their retirement nest egg, US players included. There is no question that the worlds best 17 to 20-somethings head to Europe. Landon Donovan's career arc is the type that Jurgen is trying to discourage. Do Brian McBride and Clint Dempsey belong in the same category? (returning home too soon) Has the MLS put profit above quality soccer? Love him or hate is JK right to raise these questions?
