It's funny how everyone says we are rated way too low. 57 is a bit harsh but what have we done to say other wise? We are a relatively new league, in a country known for having poor soccer.

I'd say we are somewhere between the English Championship and League 1. Probably closer to Championship but definitely not that level yet.

We do not have poor soccer. We are a top 25 soccer nation, and we should only improve. The wealth, size, and experience of the US will lend itself to eventually being a power.

Our soccer isn't poor. As stated above we are at least a top 25 national team And did you read the list? Peruvian league 38 spots ahead of MLS? Other questionables: Ecuador, Swiss, Israel, Egypt, Serbia, Tunisia, Japan, Slovakia, Bolivia, Nigeria, Costa Rica, South Africa, Cameroon, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Estonia, Iran, Guatemala, Finland, Honduras, and China all having better leagues than MLS is just completely unrealistic.
