Your kidding right? The Bundesliga is behind the Premier League and La Liga, but you can make a case it is the third best league in Europe. They have 3 of the 6 top supported teams in Europe according to Sport Review (http://www.thesportreview.com/tsr/2009/08/manchester-united-top-european-attendances-for-last-season/)and five teams are on the Forbes list of most valued soccer teams (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/34/soccer-values-09_Manchester-United_340001.html) Yes the salary cap in MLS needs to be increased as that will keep some players at home. But eventually the best US players go to Europe for one reason. The competition is better. Even in the Danish and Swedish leagues. The Bundesliga is behind MLS in terms of prestige!
