Salary cap makes MLS a super competitive league..

The beauty of it is any team can win on any given night unlike European football where richer teams just dominate.

You don’t even need promotion/relegation when it’s set up like this.

North America is the future of football!

Same thing happened to Salihi, Gashi and Vrioni when they went to the MLS. They stopped being the goal machines they were in Switzerland/Austria. Those tap-ins dried up.

Word.

Albanian players have flopped hard in MLS.

Austin paid €12mil for Uzuni and he lasted just 3 months before getting benched..

New England paid €3.65mil for Vrioni and ended up selling him to Montreal for €50k.. 😂

If I was running an MLS team, I’d stick to scouting North/South America.

Remember when Chile full of 35 year olds ran through Albania at its absolute peak under Sylvinho?

Chilean reporters said that even domestic teams could beat us.

Hard to disagree..

Even if Gruda plays for us, Sylvinho will bench him to play Daku on the wing or something like that

He would solve a lot of problems for sure... the main problems.

Can't see him not being part of Germany though, even for a few caps. They'll at least try to cap him just to secure him. Especially with someone like Leroy Sane on his way out (he signed in Turkey).

Gruda would start for Albania, no doubt. Germany will soon lock him up though as they're in dire need of talented forwards.
