I wonder if we ever saw even close to the best of him.

Not a bad career move...

I thought he was very poor, I think he only got his move to LA because of his 'celeb' association with T & T.

Agree, but looking back, I wonder how much the coaching now would have brought out in him. Just look at Adam El Abd

"The MLS is probably on par with the middle or lower parts of the Championship,"

I've seen a few a games involving TFC and other MLS teams and to be quite honest, Brighton and a few other League 1 sides would piss all over them.

agreed - i watched a lot of toronto over there in 2007 and catch the odd mls game on espn, and the standard is completely f***ing shocking

It's not quite THAT bad IMHO; I've watched the New England Revolution's games on telly this season and they're ok - somewhere around the middle to lower ranks of the Championship seems about the level. The better-known MLS players do stand out a mile though. The league will gain in maturity once (or if) the decent homegrown US players stop gravitating towards the money in Europe.

I watched the Galaxy get spanked by Real Salt Lake the other day on ESPN and it was a poor game, the Galaxy in particular were woeful.
