What European players should and will bring are strong work ethic and discipline. I still believe David Beckham can be a success but the attitude must change and he must realise that he is playing in a developing league. The actions are different and that involves Beckham performing and trying hard on the pitch as well as off it. With his image, he is potentially the best ambassador possible for MLS.TheFlatBackFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427872783044365884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625744249073841049.post-21492433302478011142009-07-09T13:42:28.021+01:002009-07-09T13:42:28.021+01:00It was a bad fit to begin with.

The MLS doesn't need an established talisman like Beckham, they can't fully use him. They need to build their own identity and story. Players like Donovan are what they need, and the performance of many players on the US team at the Confederations Cup are what they need. MLS players and MLS style players. For heavens sake South and Central America is just a stone's throw away! And the US is home to massive migrant communities from nearly every country. Surely the US is a more appealing place to play for at least a sizeable chunk of young and senior players than Europe? <br />They are the import players the MLS needs. Not a scattering of aging Europeans.Andrew Saulnoreply@blogger.com
