Sussex lad becomes the most expensive player MLS history

Bit unfair. However it IS weird that the home of unfettered, unreconstructed capitalism has quite strict rules on club finance and player recruitment for teams in their top leagues to try and create as level playing field as possible. (That's a generalisation too, I don't know how the NHL or NBA are organised).

Yeah, that was what I mant really. As usual I undermined my legitimate point with hyperbole, for cheap comedy effect

All the best people were born in Cuckfield

Whilst in South Africa, I met a lady who was a midwife at Cuckfield Hospital in the year I was born. There was a 50% chance therefore that she helped my mother give birth to me. Small world.

Weird how US sports franchises also operate much of their process like they are part of a communist collective. No wonder they only excell in games played only in the US and are shit at everything else (sakkerr, etc; sweeping genralisations are the best).

errr don't they finish 1st in basically every Olympics?
