So i have a conversation yesterday with a friend of mine, and he asked me what the effect of David Beckham will have on the MLS. I told him that there are already a lot of international players, just not international stars. These players mainly come from lesser powers in the soccer world, Panama, Colombia, Canada. I guessed that the league is already 60% Americans.
anyway, i checked this morning's rumor column and i thought people might be interested, along with Beckham, there are some really big names being linked to MLS:
David Beckham could be reunited with former Real Madrid team-mate Luis Figo at LA Galaxy after the Portuguese star was released by Inter Milan. (Sunday Express)
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has had talks with LA Galaxy. (News of the World)
Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele could be poised for a move to American side Houston Dynamo. (The People)
this is just the beginning , these international starts might not come over in their prime, but they'll come over before they're done. As for the Rapids, well, we have one of the better players from Panama, Roberto Brown, Mexico with Hercules Gomez, and America with Pablo Mastroeni.
