Why American Major League Soccer still has a long way to go

Ugh....the good points this article makes are completely undermined by the writer's lack of familiarity with the subject matter. MLS was established in 1996, not 1993, for instance. The writer talks about the size of the country and how few teams MLS has per state, while showing no awareness at all of anything soccer related below MLS (NASL, USL, PDL, NPSL, ASL, CSL, NCAA), and so on.

Why American Major League Soccer still has a long way to go

A young league, established in 1993, now wants to put its nose up there with the elite. American Major League Soccer (MLS) still has plenty of little things that could and should be fixed in order for it to count among the top leagues in the world.

Many questions can be asked when thinking about the MLS, some of which are: Why don’t younger players come to the MLS? Why don’t MLS youth have a larger success rate in Europe? Why don’t the teams look past these stars who are nearing retirement, toward the coaches that they should bring in to help develop the league?
