Its not trying to bash the MLS or sound snobbish, but it is what it is, until they get good (not even elite, just good) players to sign during their prime it will be known as a retirement league
Personal opinion but I totally disagree with you - I'm no big MLS fan but I watch a fair bit of both leagues and the 3rd division or league 1 is garbage compared to MLS. The level of domestic talent in England is very very poor right now and attendance does not = quality of play. Norwich's big recent purchase in the championship was Canada's third choice striker in the last cycle. I think Championship football equates to MLS standard of play and I think the MLS has better players at the high end. Despite the slagging of Henry/Beckham/Donovan type players they are way better than anyone in the Championship... and League 1? I like Jermain Beckford too dude but get a grip.
