I hope Jurgen's hostility towards MLS was purely part of the show to throw Landon out because MLS NEEDS to be the hand that feeds the USMNT.
La Liga feeds Spain.
Bundesliga feeds Germany.
MLS needs to feed USA.
Jozy would have been 1000x better off playing for pretty much ANY MLS team over that Sunderland team.
I mean, ask yourself, which do you think is better, Clint Dempsey sitting on the bench for all of the EPL season at Tottenham or Clint Dempsey being on fire in MLS? I'll take the on fire Dempsey out of MLS every time.
Tougher opponents or not, there's definitely something to be said for confidence and right now Clint is confident that if he gets the ball at his feet, he can put it into the net. That's what we need.
