Hey Guys, I'm a new member, but I've been reading in this forum for a while.
I'm "mexican" or hispanic.
I was reading the other day a really interesting topic about Hispanic players. To be honest I did not like some of the stuff I read, and some others were just very funny.
I've been in this country for 5 years. This is a beatiful country, the best economy in the world! Soccer is very organized. Soccer has a great future in the US.

Great future, a lot of talent;
Eddie Johnson
Fredy Adu

MLS? Is boring... all they do is "kick a ball"
all they do is pass, run, and kick... that's boring! I'm sorry but MLS is boring.
This the opinion from a "mexican." I hope none of you guys get mad, I know there is a lot of Coaches in here, so I tried to respect everybody.
Good Luck Americans, in a few years we will be watching "street soccer" in ESPN, and we will see the USA playing the world final againts Brasil or Argentina.
