This is going to be very interesting. Dallas is split between homegrown players and Latin American recruits IIRC. Their GK is locally developed talent I think, for example. It's also a very young team. Very few Europeans on the roster (if any).
The Galaxy even though they have their Academy and they do promote some players, seem to be going the other way for next season and have been recruiting, if press reports are to be believed, talent in Europe...same as with Beckham....older, past their prime players but that can make an immediate impact both on the field and with ticket sales. A contrast in 2 very different methods which will be interesting to see how it plays out.
