Well I do believe is about time that coaches, players and fan start speaking out about the changes this league need, Garber already hearded from The Coach of two teams that should be playing for a Concacaf Champion Title instead is a mexican team and Costa Rican. I think roster and Salary cap should be raised 25% every year until and increase the roster 30 players. That way we can become more compatable and go to Conference Champion, with the new Concacaf Champion league and even more the Sur Americana & Libertadores. I think if This really doesn’t change I will stop going to the games and even stop watching it on TV and go back to see The Mexican league or European. We need to support this league (MLS) but we need changes right away, or else stupid articles like this will be popping out all around the world and forget the Terry Henry or the Ronaldinhio coming to play in this POOR LEAGUE,,,

Nathanhj, I still liked the things Gullit said. people thought he was being too critical and/or sounded ready to “jump ship” but I just thought he was being frank (like it), saying he’d adapt but work toward change. Sounded like he was committed to me. And smart.
You can tear your hair out reading the UK sports pages. Or maybe any sports pages, and we just know which US writers/outlets to follow and which to ignore. That’s what my husband says when I get to ranting about the Brit rags anyway.

The real question is how well did the salesman play? I understand that he was a former Division 1 player with a top 20 team in college. He was fit, skilled, and made good decisions. Maybe the Galaxy needs more like him.

Is that Milli or Vanilli in the photo?

we all know there is some things that need to be changed within the MLS to make it closer in competition with other leagues around the world so hopefully articles will pop up time to time to keep it at the forefront. although next time hopefully it’ll be from a paper that has some credentials other than a British rag :p

Interesting article and completely rife with shameless anti-Americanism. I don’t expect anything less than this from the British press, even from a non-tabloid like The Times.

I don’t have a huge problem with it really, but the ridiculous insistence on finding every shade of negativity is wearying after awhile. And often wrong to boot. Good for a laugh and not much more.

Personal details in the article were interesting, though.

I hope this article gets to the League Office. D.C. United, Houston, and soon New England Chivas USA, and other clubs will start singing this tune as well. We cannot play with 26 on a roster. That is 4 more then what many top level high school teams keep. Gullit should say it again and again, embarass the league into making the changes necessary, losing in international tournaments every year does not seem to matter to Garber as much as it should. Set a luxury tax, for teams like LA so we can become the superclub that Lalas dreams about being, so we can field better reserves. Oh, by the way, I am available to play on Sundays, I can only play for about 30 minutes; that is just because I am older now and the knees just don’t run hard for a full 90.
