=Major League Soccer=

The MLS is the North American soccer league. A few years ago, the league only had teams from the United States. However, the Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto F.C have entered the league in order to help the league expand. The league is continuing to expand with the addition of the Portland Timbers and the Phildelphia Union, and the soon-to-be addition of the Montreal Impact. The league has not been very popular in the past, due to the fact that the league did not have very talented players. In recent players, there have been older players that have played in the top leagues in Europe, such as David Beckham, Rafael Marquez, Thierry Henry, Freddy Ljungberg, and others, that have joined teams in the MLS. This has been great for the league's global recognition and fan base. The league started gaining alot more attention and the quality of play has improved. There have been players in the MLS that have developed significantly and attracted the attention of European teams. Examples of these players are Stuart Holden, who used to play for the Houston Dynamo and now plays for the Bolton Wanderers in England, and Landon Donovan, who plays for L.A Galaxy and has been loaned to Everton in England. The improvement shown by these players indicates that the quality of the players in North America is continuing to increase and can lead to great things for this league in the future.
