Thought this might be an interesting topic. I think the gap has narrowed at the top of MLS. But it's still as big as ever once you get past that. You can really see the difference in quality watching TFC play these Mexican teams. They play faster, more incisively, any player can take you on, and they can really put a knife to your throat when they want. They are fun to watch. My surprise was that they don't just move the ball faster, they are also way quicker - both CA and Tigres gave us no time on the ball at all. I would have thought that was one area MLS teams may be a bit better. Most MLS teams by comparison are just slow, plodding and predictable.
I think maybe 3-5 teams in MLS could compete at a good level in Liga MX. The rest would get throttled most nights.
Thoughts?
