    Would you rather have 20 clubs, the clubs be better, and have MLS clubs win one-third of the CCL, or have MLS continue to expand and never win the CCL? I'm asking a hypothetical. I'm not saying an MLS club will never win the CCL. For the purpose of this topic, vote as if the Club World Cup format will remain the same. If the Club World Cup expands and MLS clubs could qualify without winning the CCL, it could make people care less if an MLS club wins it.

    I reject your premise. If the league has fewer teams it would have less revenue to compete.

    Why would the clubs be better if there were only 20 of them?

    The best players would be divided among fewer clubs.

    What makes you think MLS won't be able to import additional equivalent talent to any expansion team?

    It doesn’t work that way in a salary cap league.
