shite like this is why I can't take the MLS seriously.
If this is the reason you can't take MLS seriously, your reasoning makes no sense. A USL club beat some MLS backups. It happens.

not sure why MLS doesn't take it more seriously considering a CL spot is on the line
They don't seem to take the CL seriously. I don't know if they figure a Mexican team is going to win anyway so what's the point? Especially with the late rounds of the CL being played during MLS preseason/very early season, for the most part.

Or maybe I'm wrong. Just an observation.

Yes, MLS wants to pretend they exist in the same ecosystem as other American leagues and just be completely closed off.

It's a poor strategy on multiple levels.

RSL played their Rookies+C Team from the USL itself (RSL monarchs). Only 2 actual First Teamers and the third string goalie. In the midst of an awful season I thought they would go for broke, but yeah they pretty said "We don't want to win."


I've said this about clubs in Europe.

Middling teams who have no shot at Europe, and put out scrubini team for cup matches. Then happily out of cup and finish in their usual 13th place. It's asinine and if iwas a fan, i'd be pissed. Since you have no chance to win anything in the league, u better go balls to the wall for the cups.

I don't take college football seriously because Appalachian State beat Michigan that one time.

CL is completely irrelevant until the semifinal round. No one gives a frick about watching Vancouver beat up on a small island club from Jamaica.

Now that new tournament they are talking about which feature just Liga MX, and MLS... that is interesting.
