    I wouldn't stop him from playing in the MLS. But I would tell him to consider playing with Ajax. I just love what they did with John O'Brien.

    Anyone here ever hear about FIFA? Well it turns out that FIFA is the world governing body and they have a rule that prevents the international transfer of players under the age of 18. So this discussion is kind of pointless.

    it wouldn't have been a transfer, would it? Inter were trying to buy his right's for like 100K a long time ago. the style of soccer overseas or in South America suits Freddy better, anyway.

    Yes, FIFA does sound familiar. Aren't they a communist government? :rolleyes:
