Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 3080201, member: 1452"] There has been a generational leap in terms of the European clubs the Americans are joining. Harkes, McBride, Dempsey, Yedlin etc. all played for lower-level clubs in the Premiership. Bradley was with Roma but was never a regular in the rotation, Other US players have mostly played in lower-level leagues. Pulisic has been the standard-setter in terms of truly breaking through to an elite European club. And I think that can be a reasonable expectation that, on average, superior American talents will start to get opportunities at the highest levels. As a result, I think MLS players, going forward, will be more fringe-type national team selections. [/QUOTE]
