Where would you rank the MLS amongst other leagues around the World?

Was asking a friend about this the other day, but we are both fairly "new" to soccer and could not come up with a complete list.

Just wanted to see the Soccer boards opinion...

Now I think it may be on par with some of the lesser European leagues, but that isn't saying much. Every country in Europe has some dinky league, that doesn't mean it is worth a damn.

The MLS doesn't stack up to Europe's three or four best, that is for sure. It doesn't even stack up to the best leagues in this hemisphere, to be honest.

I believe the general consensus on this board is say about on par with weaker European leagues (Scandanavian), Mexican. Maybe with the Russian league?

Behind the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Brazilian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Dutch league, Portuguese, Turkish, and Argentinian. Possibly lower than the Russian league and a few league 2s.

Above the Scandinavian. Below the SPL and Russia.

all you need to know is that mls is the league that all the world's washed up players migrate to instead of outright retirement.
