Copa America Centenario Break a Step in Right Direction for Major League Soccer

Major League Soccer will be taking a break for the group stage of the Copa America tournament to be played in the United States during June of 2016.

Major League Soccer's goal of being one of the top leagues in the World by 2022 is still a major pipe dream, but that doesn't mean it isn't closer than ever. One of the biggest ways that growth can be measured for the league is how many of its players are now playing for their countries.

In 2014, 26 players from Major League Soccer represented their countries at the FIFA World Cup, a huge accomplishment for the young league.
