The World Cup is edging towards the conclusion of its group stage, so MLS gets ready for a return to action soon.
Before that, the MLS Players Union released the salaries for the 406 players under contract with MLS clubs for the 2010 season.
The Galaxy’s David Beckham, ruptured Achilles and all, is still No. 1 with a salary of $6.5 million. His teammate Landon Donovan ($2,127,778) is second and the Red Bulls’ Juan Pablo Angel ($1,918,000) is third.
Toronto’s Julian de Guzman ($1,717,546) and Seattle’s Freddie Ljungberg ($1,314,000) round out the top five.

Regular season games resume on Friday.
Here’s the schedule and here’s the table.
lol, the salaries have been out for weeks, you think some more opinion/commentary would be nice
Todd, The New York Times mention the MLS salaries in their paper today. It’s not as if we’re behind the eight ball. Feel free to share your opinions regarding the salaries though.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
Do you think Donavan would accept to play in Brazil for a couple of seasons? For Flamengo or Corinthians?
I noticed that there’s no more of those $20K salaries. Looks like the minimum is now $40K? At least that’s a big step up for the younger/ rookie players.
