[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you compare MLS and Copa America? Or Eurocup? MLS is comprised of the best players that managed to get placed on teams in the US. This means they didn't get placed on teams in countries where soccer really pays (England, Spain, Italy, etc.).

Copa America and Eurocup draw on the best from each country. That's how you have Messi playing for Argentina and Ronaldo playing for Portugal. [b]Without Ronaldo, watch Portugal's equivalent of MLS. They're not any better than DC United. Ecuador is doing great in Copa America. But their best players don't play for Ecuadorian clubs.[/b] They play for Barcelona, Manchester United, etc.

This is just nonsense. Portugal's Primeira features teams such as Porto and Benfica that are both former European Champions and are always competitive in the Champions League. The business model for most Portuguese clubs to to scout the best South American, Portuguese and other European talent and blood them to sell on for higher fees and good profits. MLS has maybe five players in total that could compete at this level.

The level of MLS is mid-table and lower of the English Championship.[/quote]
