I totally agree with that. It's a sad but inevitable truth that a nation's footballing pedigree is gauged primarily on its representation within the major European leagues. In that sense I'd go as far as to say that Brad Friedel long spell at Aston Villa has done more to give credibility to American soccer (both within Europe but, more importantly, the US) than Landon Donovan's return to the Galaxy, or even Beckham's decision to play for them.
