Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5135345, member: 405"] I don't know about that. We don't have a legit "world class star", but we have half a dozen champions league quality guys, and a bunch of guys beyond that who play in European leagues. Even the top MLS guys are good enough to play in the Championship in England, or in Belgium or a smaller European league. It's about health and game time. You need to be playing, that's the most important thing. Maybe some of these guys are not starters on a Champions League club, but are good enough to start for one that's mid-table. You have to be honest with yourself. You have to play to get better. Do you think that Morocco or Denmark or Greece, teams of that level that make surprise tournament runs are that much more talented than us? I'm not convinced they are. People forget that we made the Quarter Finals in 2002. These guys may not be as tough as that generation, but they are more skillful players. [/QUOTE]
