He says MLS is on par with the EPL. Maybe you should try some smaller leagues on for size first, like the Dutch and French leagues which are considered growth and development leagues.
For proof of Lalas' rampant lunacy I present David Beckham's pay. Lalas threw more money at David Beckham than Real Madrid. And even then, he entertained bailing on it to stay with Real. At the end of the day someone paid more for a player than Madrid, the worlds most notorious overpaying club.
Insanity.

Beckham is important for the growth in the US. I wish the rest of the league would have followed in the Galaxy's path and made a play for some of the bigger stars. Maybe throw money at Cristian Ronaldo, Ronaldhino, Wayne Rooney (even though I hate that guy), or other stars that are either up and coming or still in their prime....
Btw although the MLS is the biggest joke of a league to most. It really has some good football. One thing I think it has over pretty much every other league save Mexico is the physicality. There's a lot more rough play and less diving in the MLS than the Euro leagues.
