Thing is, MLS has good forwards. Very good forwards actually. Certainly on par with any 2nd division in Europe, and with the rare player like Beasley was and Twellman/Ching/Altiodre are that can play at any level.
There was a good post about this today on
That's on Point
The problem is the other positions. The defenders are bad, which obviously helps to make the forwards look good. However, the midfielders are awful but improving as a whole. If you can find a guy with good touch on his passes, and the ability to receive a pass you will likely find a good goal scorer on that team too. Look at how DeRosario has moved from forward to an attacking midfielder and how much that has helped Houston.
