Slightly off topic but why are all these washed up super stars going to the MLS? First Beckham, then Zlatan and now Rooney. That league has always been a joke and always will be. Soccer (Football) is like the fifth or sixth most popular sport in America and all the Americans I know could care less about it. Wouldn't surprise me if Cristiano Ronaldo ends up in the MLS soon.
Yes, that's a real choice for former world soccer stars. Going to MLS on the remaining abilities is a good choice, where they can still get a decent salary at the end of their career, certainly difficult in old age to compete in the top European league.
