A-League Because of nationalism.
The MLS Since won't not simming it as playable stunt your national pool by a lot? That was my experiences with Australia - the A-League was view-only and the entire national team was just a smattering of free agents and guys from the AIS and various semi-pro sides.

Considering he basically gained omnipotence in the Tackleford fixture, who's not to say he can't alter the threads of fate to create a team of American wunderkinds anyway?

Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, and MLS because you have to to make the USMNT work. If you expanded to a 6th league, since you have to have MLS, I would throw in Bundesliga.

Paul Willy: 13

Simmed Leagues (winners in bold):
Bundesliga: 21
Serie A: 20

La Liga: 16
English Championship: 16

Ligue Un: 9
Eredivise: 3
English League One: 2
K League: 1
A League: 1
Liga MX: 1
Russian Premier League: 1

La Liga and the Championship tied, I used my prerogative to include both of them. I'm surprised by the level of support Ligue Un got, I'm guessing it's because of the number of ex-Dragons on PSG? I'm surprised by the complete lack of support for Scotland, too.

Prediction Contest Winner
Both Dias and LionYeti accurately predicted that we'd use the Pyramid in 26 matches. Unfortunately for LionYeti, they put 3.7 for the first tiebreaker (goal differential while in the Pyramid). So while Dias undershot the actual goal differential by a good deal (+19 compared to an actual +50), he still wins the tiebreak. Congratulations!

I've been runner up in two different contests for boons, curses. Thought there'd be a lot more high scoring 5-4 type games. I suppose the Colorado Rapids will never get the Spanish prospect of their dreams either here or in real life.

How about increase the global reputation of MLS so that it can more easily attract top players in their prime from Europe and South America? You still wouldn't be able to sign superstars because wages would still be higher in Europe, but it would create a stronger league which would (in theory) be better for US player's development.

Scotland isn't the most interesting of leagues. But can be fun trying to do a Fergie and win with a non Glasgow club.

Will Brown's not capped for England. He was called up for their U19's on one occasion, but didn't get into the match. Even if he had gotten a youth cap, players aren't declared for a nation until they play a competitive senior team match for that nation. That's how striker Diego Costa earned two caps for Brazil, in friendlies against Italy and Russia, before switching to Spain after getting Spanish citizenship in 2013 and playing for them in the World Cup.

Well, there's some nuance to it beyond that. If you're capped for a youth team in a competitive match, you're locked into that nation and any nations you were eligible for at the time. Or some bullshit like that. It's kind of galling how Adama Traore can't get capped for Australia while Diego 'literally capped for the Brazilian national team' Costa goes to the World Cup for Spain, but that's how it goes, I guess.

It's all a moot point - Brown should be fine through, well, your parenthood anyway.

If you hold eligibility for multiple countries you can change before you make your full competitive debut.

However, you can't play for Australia at a Youth Level, move to Portugal and then get citizenship and play for Portugal because you weren't eligible for Portugal when you first played for Australia.

That's how Deco, Senna, Costa et al were able to play for other nations - they weren't called up when they were only eligible for one nation.

Yeah, I have no clue how he has English eligibility when he was born in Wales to an American father.

He's still refusing my callups, now to the main team for World Cup qualifying matches against Panama and Surinam.

Updates have stalled over the last week due to both work and trying to put together a suitable capper on my years at Wrexham. I'll get to them sooner or later, and I still need to play the Goon Cup final at some point.
