whiskeymac, there are around 100 US footballers playing overseas last time I checked. An American colleague I know quite well, Brent Latham, is a part of the crew who run a site dedicated to the topic called Yanks Abroad. Really interesting little site: http://yanks-abroad.com/
One of the biggest problems as I’ve had explained to me by the excellent Sean Wheelock (check him out on BBC 5live’s World Football phone-in) is that after college the starting contracts in the MLS are so poor (around US$20,000 from memory) that many just bypass it and head to ordinary European leagues. Others skip college all together and head to Europe at 18.

Great points Gweeds, especially on linking the passion of traditional football people with FFA’s organisational and professional skills.
