A sense of stagnation is setting in around MLS. The league needs a World Cup bump (www.theguardian.com)

The 1994 World Cup transformed the domestic game in the US. MLS will hope a similar change can give the league a much-needed jolt

Get hype, MLS fans, because we're about to get a bunch of aging europeans coming into the league on overpriced contracts on the back of their world cup performances:

Ah, but the dreaded “retirement league” smear. Well, whatever. This handwringing was always a bit of a misdirection. Most leagues will happily take in ageing superstars, or players who didn’t quite make the grade at a higher level. Serie A is full of Premier League castoffs and nobody in Italy gets worked up about it.
