But you need to realize the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Bundesliga are head and shoulders where you want to end up in.

Boca Juniors (my club) - an Incredible team in Argentina (and considered a top 10 team in the world, is a Farm Team for these leagues)

Thats what I hope KC becomes - an amazing talented young team that exports their players to Europe. (winning as much as possible in the home leagues and cups)
Yes, I fully understand that there are top leagues around the world that are head and shoulders above the MLS. I also understand that soccer has been a tough sell in this country. I also realize this makes for an even tougher sell for the future of the sport if it is the only sport in the US that serves as a feeder to other more prestigious and better leagues. Especially in Europe.

The growth of soccer will hit a wall if the best league in the country cannot keep and attract top talent and is instead welcoming being seen as a farm or minor league here in the US as it already is in much of the world.
