• It's also worth noting that no MSL team has ever been beaten by Premier League opposition. Sure, the games are friendlies and whatever, but I wouldn't characterise the MLS as a 'Mickey Mouse league' (as is done in the press over here). It's not up to par with the major European leagues, but it's getting better.

    Speaking of Spurs, it's been a quiet summer so far. Nary a rumour or anything about signings since the whole Arjen Robben (plus about half of Real Madrid) story.
