I think a huge problem with fans is the unrealistic expectations people have and want the MLS to become. We are used to having the best league in pretty much every sport with all the money and pick of the players. So seeing an American League so far down in the pecking order. Also doesn't help when the comish says we are going to be a top 5 league by 2022 or guys like Lalas saying its a top ten league doesn't help.
Honestly there is nothing wrong with the MLS quality being like the Brazilian or Argentina league. Good quality and the clubs and league making money on our home grown players going to Europe.

I was just saying this about him last week. He's horrible for the game here. Everything is either doom and gloom or false hope. He is not what you want when trying to gain viewers

Unrealism and impatience are definitely factors here. I do believe, however, that the potential for MLS (for you jackwoods) is a top 5 league in the world. The market determines almost everything and the market for revenue and talent is quite massive in the US. As of right now, I would place MLS somewhere as high as 15 and as low as 20 in terms of quality. I think it is reasonable for MLS to attain the ranking of a top 10 league in ten years time from now and compete to become a top 5 league in 20 years time from now.
BTW, you are consistently receiving a down vote and it may appear to be coming from me because you are responding to me but I would like to tell you that it is in fact not coming from me.
