Even if you believe the draw was fixed, Real Salt Lake beat Saprissa in the Semifinals that year, making MLS look better than the Costa Rican league.
Yes, and the same one were they topped the table against Cruz Azul, knocked out 2 other MLS teams (Toronto and Columbus), and beat Saprissa in the semi's to just barely lose in the final (3 - 2 on aggregate).
Nope... it's a good achievement, but it does not make Saprissa some juggernaut of a team compared to MLS teams... and this is what was implied in the post.
Correct, Uruguay has 2 world Cups (4 if you ask their fans), so that makes them a juggernaut over all Concacaf men’s teams.
Maybe not... but Saprrisa is not Real Madrid compared to the Galaxy. Lets take a look at Saprissa record against MLS teams. 2014 - 2015 1W - 1L - 0D 2013 - 2014 DNQ (Did not Qualify) 2012 - 2013 DNQ 2011 - 2012 DNQ 2010 - 2011 3W - 1L - 0D 2009 - 2010 DNQ 2008 - 2009 1W - 0L - 1D 2007 DNQ 2006 1W - 0L - 1D 2005 1W - 0L - 1D 2004 1W - 1L - 0D Total: 8W - 3L - 3D 5 DNQs ...these are not the stats of a Juggernaut of a team. Edit: They met LA twice in the CCC. with 1W and 1D. They haven't met in the CCL.
