MLS Advocacy

Players such as Paul Dalglish, Claudio Suarez, and former MLS standout Paco Palencia have all praised MLS for its high playing level. Add former Norwich City and now Toronto FC midfielder Carl Robinson to that list. He even has a prediction, too.

"You might be surprised in the next few weeks. I think more and more English will come over now. I've had six or seven players asking if I will put in a word for them," he told BBC Sport. Well that remains to be seen but more talent has been coming over to North America this year; Luciano Emilio and Robbie Rogers just to name a couple.

In another article written today, David Beckham reassured the media that the standards in MLS are high and coming to America is not a retirement option.

MLS has always been a competitive league at a high level, although, this might be the first time players are speaking for it and has drawn attention from the media.
