Differencess in tactics between MLS and EU

[Unregistered]

Point being some older international players come here to make a few extra $ before hanging it up. MLS teams get some of them as well as younger players who couldn't land contracts abroad either, the rest filled in with US players. Most years about half the MLS draft is international players, so called "rejects" from international teams.

And the point being that the difference is the international players are coming younger, and NOT hanging it up after their MLS experiences anymore. Examples being going to Milan, Arsenal, REAL, post-MLS experience.

You can say that younger international players are using MLS as a stepping stone, while the better and world renown players are using MLS to stay fit to have a few more seasons at the top leagues.

And 31-32 is NOT 40! That’s reallly annoying!

I agree, and most experts agree that majority of international talent in MLS are young and not “rejects,” and the trend is using MLS as stepping stone.

I guess Miguel Almiron is one so-called reject, going from Atlanta to Newcastle.

There are more rejects coming from River Plate and Boca Juniors. Now, we see teenagers from Europe coming to MLS. I guess quality keeps improving annually.

Don’t just take my word for it, most experts agree:
