"Yeah, I think maybe the top nine or ten teams in Holland would be better than the top ten teams in the MLS. The bottom four or five teams in the Dutch Eredivise are not great and they bounce back and forth a bit and the level is play is not very good. There are often a lot of 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0 games that happen in the Dutch league that don't happen over here. I think that the top teams that play in Europe and Holland would be too good for the MLS clubs, but the bottom teams in the MLS would be too good for the Dutch league."

Speaking of LOL, was that last part mis-quoted or something?

Pretty sure he means that the bottom 4 or 5 Eredivisie teams are bad, and wouldn't do well in MLS.

Definitely keep them coming. Great stuff guys, truly appreciated. I like the confidence the kid has, must be from playing regularly + his All-Star game appearance. Thought it was funny how he said he didn't think Honduras was a very good team, maybe a little bitterness towards them and how they conduct themselves on the field.

Perhaps, Honduras never sent that strong of a squad though. No Wilson Palacios, Figeroa, Guevara or David Suazo. I don't even recall Costly being there...

We didn't have all our guys either.

We had our core. Honduras had a B squad.

From our core we were missing DeRosario Hume Friend and Serioux, anyone else crucial we were without?

^ Lars was missing. Regardless, we had most of our top players and they didn't.

BTW, looks like a correction has been made:

"I think that the top teams that play in Europe and Holland would be too good for the MLS clubs, but the bottom teams in the MLS would be too good for the (bottom teams in the) Dutch league."
