[QUOTE="Brainpowerd, post: 124059"] I wouldn't entirely discount the talent coming out of the U.S. when you consider that Casey Keller, Tim Howard, DeMarcus Beasley, Jay DeMerit, Clint Dempsey, Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra, and several others have made a living playing first team football overseas. While some have prospered and others haven't, the fact that people are showing interest in our players enough to buy their services shows that there is talent available in the American system. David Beckham's move to the US will serve to do one of two things. Either it will improve the overall talent level of the players who come to the league and bring about an exodus of international players who desire to play in America or he will sell a few extra tickets, flounder on a team of underachievers, and be sent out "on loan" to an English club somewhere down the line.
