Re: American Players opting to play elsewhere
Generally, Americans do not develop the greatest soccer players in the world. I'm going to have to agree with lewgeist. Whenever any player goes to a European league, it is because he is trying to make it big over there. I also wonder if it has something to do with the excitement level. In Europe, soccer/football is king. Here in the U.S. it's behind the 'american' football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and NASCAR. If a player wants superstar status, he needs to go to Europe.
