    MLS Next Pro has no ties - well, they have ties but they then go to PKs to determine who gets 2 points, and who none (no sharing of the points). Last week Monarchs scored a tying goal in stoppage while playing 9 v 11, then won the shootout.

    Does that free up an international spot for RSL?

    I’ve struggled through monarch games. They’re glorified friendlies when first team players are out there. Rarely, if ever, do you see a player actually giving anything above 80% if they’re on a first team contract. Which isn’t entirely wrong, it just makes the game itself really hard to enjoy

    Moreso is that STL isn't good but their 3rd division team is (best in West). Shouldn't there be more of a talent gap?

    That's an all-first team contract lineup save for Ruben Mesalles, and Tommy Silva came in for him eventually.

    I know it does but it’s hard to believe winning actually matters at that league

    It matters all the way down to 4 years old rec leagues in the USA. It’s a big barrier to player skill development and soccer IQ.
