It just shows the huge gulf in money available to Premier League players and MLS players. Two goalkeepers on the same team but two completely different ways of travelling. Tim Howard and Nick Rimando are both in Jurgen Klinsmann's American squad to play against Mexico on October 10th.
However one photo by each goalkeeper highlighted the difference in how each travelled to meet up with the squad.

Howard looked comfortable in first class with his diamond encrusted watch and plenty of leg room while Rimando looked like your average Ryanair traveler squished into a cramped economy class. To be fair, Rimando is travelling from Salt Lake to the US camp, while Howard is coming across the Atlantic, but you'd imagine both flights would have been paid for by US Soccer.
These photos probably best encapsulates the huge disparity in income between the Premier League and MLS players.
