Where it has been accepted to bash American soccer recently by members of the American media, apparently Sir Alex Ferguson didn't get that memo.
As he prepares to bring his Manchester United team on a preseason tour of the US, Ferguson comments on the state of the American game.
"American soccer is starting to make an impact and it is so improved, " he said.
"I made that point about the United States team before the World Cup. I said they were going to play like real athletes – the guys are fit, committed, they believe in themselves.
"I think American football is that way – they're all fit, athletic, they've got a good feel for the pitch. You can see that there is improvement in MLS. I have spoken to many people in the last few months about that and there is a big upsurge."
