What is the best league in CA

[Metapan]

Iam wondering who you guys think has the best league in CA, I include everything the league offers like a good pay check,stadiums,cities competiton and foreing players . I am from El salvador but I think our league is bad right now, theres no money and no teams. I think the best league in CA is the guatemala league, they have way more money and stadiums and like 2 times more foreign players.
1 guatemala
2 costa rica
3 honduras
4 el salvador
5 panama
6 nicaragua
7 belice

Guate league is good, but i consider my own local league as the best of CA
BTW welcome to BSland!

[Popol Vuh]

i think Guatemala's league is one of the best in CA together with the Tico league, Guate's league has good pay, and lots of foreign players. but the Tico league has more CCC. Guatemala also i believe has the most centralamerican titles.

Guatemala/Costa Rica
3 Honduras
4 El Salvador
Big margin of competition between these 4 above and the the 3 below.

5 Panama
6 Nicaragua
7 ¿Belize?, thats like including a Guatemalan Department. :D

Giatemala has a good league as well as Costa Rica, Ive seen game from both and I think both are equally good, they have good performances against mexican teams and have demonstrated that plenty of times and Guatemalan teams have half of all Central American titles.Economically Guatemala has an advantage and get more foreigners some are good others bad like in any other leagues. The problem with having so many foreign players (58) is once the season's over many of these players end up staying in Guatemala, they take up spots in Liga Mayor with other teams,in the Primera Division or even in the Segunda Division so we have a reuse and recycle type of system.I can post plenty of examples, on the other hand we have a pretty good Primera Division compared to the rest of Central America, we have teams there that can play in the top division and are sometimes in a better economical situation and have better stadiums.I think both leagues are at the same level, but like Morado said you always support your country's league its the right thing to do.
1. Guatemala
2.Costa Rica
3. Honduras
4. El Salvador
after those 4 I think Nicaragua and Panama are at the same level.

I agree 1,000,0000%!

Well there are only 4 "real" leagues in Central America and they are Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. These 4 leagues over the years have been the tradional leagues and have produced many Uncaf and Concacaf Championships Cups between them. Its hard to rank them since over the years quality has come and gone in all the leagues and at the moment El Salvador would sit 4th in my standings a few years ago it would have been much higher. I would have Guatemal 1st since they are producing great players from that league and have in my eyes the best organization. Next comes Costa Rica who have had great teams in the League and on International levels for many years now. They have the Concacaf champions in Saprissa and many other quality teams. Next comes Honduras in 3rd place. They have great talent and great teams such as Olympia and Marathon, which are Concacaf powerhouses. They are a strong league but up aginst Guatemala and Costa Rica they fall to 3rd. Next comes El Salvador who sad to say fall to 4th. They have suffered financial crisis and massive corruption that has serverly affected the style of play in El Salvador. They still have great teams in Aguila, FAS and Uncaf cup surprises Firpo. And for the Other 3 leagues Belize, Panama and Nicaragua its hard to say since they don't have a strong league and except for Panama a weak National team as well. so after reading this essay you will know my reasoning behind my choices,

1. Guatemala
2. Costa Rica
3. Honduras
4. El Salvador
5. Panama
6. Nicaragua
7. Belize

Heres the way I see it, comparing our teams with your teams.
From the list that you came up. I think we have the same amount like in your league but the problem is discontinuation. The money is there for most teams, I would say 7 out of the 10 are in good economic standing and have money to waiste in most cases. I think the top 6 in our league can easily compete with your top 6 and would make a great league of 12.

1 Municipal (Well balance team,has money but doesnt over use it, Can compete in CA)
2 Comunicaciones (Lots of money but nothing to show for)
3 Xelaju MC(Good team and Iam sure can compete at the CA level,they always bring good young foreing players mostly from Brazil)
4 Marquense(Good team can compete in CA, always on top of table, very fast team similar to Xelaju)
5 Suchitepequez (going through a bad moment, got rid of most players from last season)
6 Heredia FDN(Good team at the moment, they have plenty of good players from SA and one from Nigeria, new to the top league, almost unbeatable at home)
7 Antigua GFC(Good team, but plays at a slow pace, has a good attack but lacks the midfield,have good economic backing but dont really use it on big signings,)
8 Jalapa( Good team but lacks the international experience they tend to use more national players)
9 Coban Imperial( Cant compete in CA,lack of team unity,Just bad this tournament I would compare them to Perez Zeledon, all its young players left mostly to Jalapa)
10 Petapa( very slow paced,and many errors,Cant compete in CA, has mostly 2nd division and fist division players)

Based on what i've seen and heard over the years, it's Costa Rica one and Guatemala two. There is a huge gap between those two and the rest though. Saprissa has some hardcore supporters and makes it very difficult to play down there. You have to include them when it comes to top teams in the CONCACAF.

[jared9999]

costa rica has the best league in CA. 2nd in concamex.

[Titan 7]

CR league is better than MLS.

[MoRado]

CR league is better than MLS.

in some ways yes, but I wouldn't say that we have a better league....

Saprissa and alajuela > MLS teams
Cartago, Brujas, Heredia ~= MLS teams
MLS teams > rest of the CR'n teams

I am talking about the way those teams play, economically we are way behind them.
