Hell if the MLS wants to throw money at the foreign players then they'd be dumb not to go for it.Quote:

We've been wooing foreign players into basketball for years. It has helped spread the popularity of the sport around the world and made them better.
The dynamic of soccer, with low scoring, no commercials, and ultra low popularity here (in comparison with basketball and football) will have little impact it's profile.
I imagine initially the LA Galaxy some news coverage and such but then reality will set in that Americans find the game boring.
Unlike many other nationalities that reject a game outright for different reasons (not familiar with the rules, don't know the players, dislike "foreign" sports just because), you'll that Americans latch on to whatever is exciting.
I just watched a Wizards basketball game where our star player (who used to come off the bench earlier) just nailed a 3-pointer 2 steps back from the line to win the game at the buzzer. 108 - 105
In soccer the roller coaster might be a rally from 1 goal down to win the game. Maybe someone found that opening and BAM, goal. The Wizards were 16 points down against a great team and they came back to win in electrifying fashion.
Soccer has been around forever. Why we can like golf and not like soccer....that's just weird.
Actually I call it "the footie" and, in truth, I could care less if the 'merkins love it or hate it. It is the most popular sport in the world and if people don't like it that means they are wrong.Quote:
