I remember when a few years back Mexicans attributed for more than 100 goals in Europe (assists and goals), they were still saying our players were overrated, now look at them.
Como no sea de penal. Simplemente es casi imposible que pueda anotar gol. Este jugador de medio pelo.— Pasionyorgullorojo (@jjimenezerregu1) October 12, 2018
Actually, Raymond James Stadium is close to the corner of Hillsborough and Dale Mabry where there is a huge Colombian area.
All of the major metro areas in central and south Florida boast large South American populations, mainly Colombian and Venezuelan. Which is why this game was hosted in Florida. The USMNT isn’t selling out a large stadium for a friendly anywhere, especially not in here (FL).
lol No. Unless it's only the big brand Mexican teams (Mexico City teams, MTY teams, Chivas, and maybe Santos and Pachuca). MLS has no use for teams like Morelia, Queretaro, Puebla, and Atlas. MLS is at the cusp of surpassing Liga MX and once they do, there's no need for Liga MX.— Gonzalo (@Ganso2k) October 10, 2018 Liga MX needs to jump on it ASAP. The longer it goes, the less that MLS needs Mexico.— Gonzalo (@Ganso2k) October 10, 2018

6th? Here’s my hot take. Premier League @sidspaceman La Liga Serie A Bundesliga Ligue 1 Brazilian League Superliga Argentina Portuguese league Mexican League Dutch league Anyone wanna give this a crack?
Your first 6 are correct. Russian Premier League and Turkish league at a similar level to Portuguese league...
As a league, top to bottom I think ligaMX is better than Dutch and Portuguese. I'd also argue that the Colombian can challenge both Dutch and Portuguese
There is a much bigger gap between the best teams and worst teams in Holland and Portugal than LigaMX...
A los equipos mexicanos se les infla demasiado, yo no pondria a la liga mx ni en el top 10, creo que el top 11 de Europa todos son mejores y Argentina y Brazil siguen estando arriba, talvez si hubieramos seguido en libertadores en los ultimos años tendriamos parametros para decir que estamos al nivel pero desde que la FMF decidio ponernos a competir con la MLS exclusivamente y ampliar el numero de foraneos de pacotilla que llegan a Mexico la liga esta en caida libre.
These lists "can" be subjective therefore statistical data has to be used to separate patriotism from accomplishments. In addition, these lists get grey because people confuse the country's football and the country's football federation. In addition, it gets evey greyer in the cases like Brazil's who advanced to the QF in the last WC but out of its 23 players who were called up, only 3 played in the Brazilian league. I don't think anyone would dare to say that Brazil is not the maximum referent in football. IMO, these lists have to be analyzed by accomplishments, infrastructure and league's value. World Cup (WC): - Has a country won a WC? - When? Was it recently using its current format or like in the case of Uruguay which was 100 years ago when only 13 teams played (A team was already in the R16 just by showing up)? - Does a country consistently go to a WC and how far has it advanced? Youth Categories WC - Has a country won a Youth WC? - When? Was it recently using its current format or like in the case of Uruguay which was 100 years ago when only 13 teams played (A team was already in the R16 just by showing up)? - Does a country consistently go to a WC and how far has it advanced? Olympics: - Has a country won a gold medal? - When? Confederation Title (UEFA, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, AFC...) - Has a country won a confederation title? - How many times? - How many teams participated? (Take the case of the earlier editions of the Copa America where only 3-4 teams would play - Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and later Chile. A team was already a semi-finalist just by showing up) International Club competitions (Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Concacaf Champions League, OFC Champions League etc...) - How many times has a country's league won a international title? - Has a team participated in a Club World Cup or a version of it? Infrastructure (distant important factor) - Up to international standards? - Able to host international football events? Leagues value - How much is a league worth? - A club and national team value These lists are subjective and people have analyze this data. When people dont see their country on these lists, they interpret it as an attack on their country, culture, etc...I think that the Mexican league is behind the Spanish, English, Italian, French and German league in terms of accomplishments, infrastructure and worth.
La liga Epl German ligue Italian ligue French ligue Portugal liga Brazil liga Argentina liga Liga Mx Eredevise
1. La Liga 2. EPL 3. Bundesliga 4. Serie A 5. Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 6. La Ligue 7. La Liga MX 8. Eredivisie 9. Argentine 10. Primeira Liga I find it funny when people try to squeeze the MLS in there. The MLS may have good infrastructure but in level of competition and/or especially accomplishments, it cant even win any version of anything against Mexico. Mexico is not the best team in the world but the statistics speak volumes. This is not about "I feel, I think, I believe", this is about statistical data. FIFA Confederations Cup: Mexico - 1 title USA - 0 CONCACAF Gold cup and CONCACAF champion: Mexico - 10 title USA - 6 title CONCACAF Champions cup and CONCACAF Champions League: Mexico - 34 USA - 2 CONMEBOL Copa America record Mexico - 2 time runner up and 3x 3rd place (only participated 10 times) USA - 4th place 2 times Men's Olympic gold football: Mexico - 1 gold medal (against Brasil) USA - 0 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying tournament: Mexico - 7 time winner USA - 2 time winner CONCACAF Sub 20 champions: Mexico - 13 titles USA - 1 FIFA World cup Sub17 champions: Mexico - 2 titles USA - 0 CONCACAF Sub 17 champions: Mexico - 7 titles USA - 3 Sub 15: Mexico - 1 USA - 0 Sub 13: Mexico 1 USA - 0
So based on what your are saying, out of Brasil's 5 world cups and numerous other regional, international level titles, only the 2002 version of it matters and the rest of their work doesnt matter? World football has been shaped into what it is today in large part because of Argentine football.
