More than three years on from its institution, the proponents of the Homegrown player rule can feel good about how the rule has played out. Arguably the most talented crop of Homegrown players yet has signed with the league prior to the 2013 season, but perhaps more importantly, MLS academy products are ready to test their talents in Europe for the first time.

Alright, everyone ­– get over it.
