I love how you can never actually formulate an argument in these threads. You just remind people you live in Europe.

If you just use your eyes and watch all these leagues you can tell. I didn't say shite about living overseas.

MLS is still behind the 2nd division in a few countries thats not saying it sucks

Its on the edge. The French produce way more talent than the MLS. They literally stock the rosters of west and north African teams as well as the French national team. On a technical level its definitely above the MLS.

You should just admit you're biased.


And that you wish you were English (formerly German).

MLS teams can beat the lower end Championship teams that belong in League One for sure.

no one in France seems to give a shite about club football and their league isn't all that strong compared to how strong France's national team is

I actually agree. We aren't there yet. I don't think any MLS teams could compete week in and week out with any EPL teams.

I'm surprised the J-League doesn't get more pub. Good fan support and the league produces a lot of good players.

How much interleague play is going on beside the Champions Cup or whatever it is called between the top Euro league club teams?

Do MLS teams play South American league teams, etc?

In terms of attendance and popularity yes, but Ligue 1 just produces so many better players that the MLS can't compare at this specific moment. To be fair, France has one of the best youth systems in the world and most of their stars make their names elsewhere after first proving themselves in the country.

The fact that you think its worthy and won't even entertain the idea is fricking retarded and show your either biased, ignorant, or both.

MLS teams play in the CONCACAF Champions League. None have ever won it.


(A couple might have won the previous version, but I'm not sure)
