And I would also argue that having a well run domestic league is extremely important to the development of more quality players, and wider exposure to the game. Americans are not going to get behind a club team from England or Germany just because they have a few players from the States that play for them. There has to be something local and worthwhile too. Which is to say, we've got to have a domestic league, with good domestic players.
Plus, we love sports here, and we love winners even more, wider exposure for MLS and more competitive play from our national side will lead us to the promise land.

I agree we need a domestic league, just dont call it professional or if you do, have the clubs compete against the UEFA clubs, kinda like a champions league.
Brazil and Argentina: Of course they have quality players there, those two countries have pools of talent deeper than most football federations, my point was that the players move on because the money is in Europe, because the competition is in Europe and because the respect is in Europe.
