Well I don't see that much MLS either over here, but I would expect the teams to beat most of those teams at the level I mentioned, so that is why I put them there. Maybe I have over/under-rated MLS teams though.

There are a few world class players in the MLS.

And, no, not him.

Sdpm100 · 08-27-2006, 04:13 PM

This is one of my favourite own goals ever. It is from the Bundesliga, and it involves a game between Energie Cottbus and Borussia Monchengladbach. In it Cottbus are leading 3-2 inside the final five minutes, when goalie Tomislav Piplica does this...

I think it would be hard to argue there are any. Adu? Dempsey? Or who is there?

Some members of the US National team still play in the MLS.

I suppose the videos were a bit OT for some weren't they though? Ah well, I found some funny stuff, so I'm happy even if no-one else is.

I enjoyed the videos. Thanks.

Cool, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Right I'll try and get the thread back on topic with this. Jose Mourinho is at it again, this time accusing France of treating Claude Makelele like "a slave".
Although it looks as though for once he is sort of in the right.

Quote:

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says Claude Makelele is being treated as "a slave" by France coach Raymond Domenech.

Domenech has insisted Makelele reports for Euro 2008 qualifiers against Georgia and Italy, despite the midfielder announcing his retirement.

"Makelele is not a football player - Makelele is a slave," said Mourinho.

Fifa rules state Makelele faces a domestic ban if he does not turn up for France and Mourinho added: "We have no chance. The rules are there."

Makelele, 33, came back from retirement to help France qualify for the 2006 World Cup where he was on the losing side to Italy in the final.

"He's played the biggest game you can, the World Cup final, and now wants to retire but the coach told us if he is not playing for France, he is not playing for Chelsea," said Mourinho.

"We know the rules. You are a slave, you have no human rights."

Makelele would miss two games apiece for each France game he refuses to play.

Domenech has spoken to both the player and Mourinho and is adamant he wants Makelele in his squad.
