I'm glad we have guys like you on here who watch MLS and can keep us up to date.  It's like MLS has become a combination of AAA Baseball and "The" pro league for a lot of players from Central and South America and the Caribbean.  MLS and CONCACAF are a lot like the English Championship.  Physical play, some skillful players, but it's an "in your face league".

MLS is the USMNT minor league feeder system, but at the same time it is raising the level of our competition in CONCACAF, which is OK by me, because it improves the competition for US national team wannabes; they get experience playing Latin American and Caribbean players.

To those foreign players, MLS is attractive because they know the paycheck is going to clear.  MLS might not have taken off the training wheels when it comes to high-end player salaries, but for people used to playing in Honduras, Haiti or Uruguay, it's a more dependable paycheck than you might get at home.
