The narrative for MLS in these games can’t/shouldn’t be the refereeing .. It’s quality. More money attracts more quality. 3/4 most expensive squads in Liga MX are in the semis of CCL. Then we can talk about the other factors that put you behind the 🎱..— herculez gomez (@herculezg) May 6, 2021 Herc must of got the memo
Don’t these MLS fanboys and apologists get tired of running around in circles with the same bullshit excuses every year?
Nope Si América entrara ahora en #MLS tendría 10 jugadores DP y 5 jugadores TAM, pagando $60+ millones en salarios.Mientras MLS sea tan estricta con el tope salarial ($4,9M/año), los clubes más grandes de #LigaMX seguirán ganando en Concachampions. Para ganar hay que gastar. #SCCL21 pic.twitter.com/1SQ9vwgYP3— Jaime Ojeda (@jaimeor96) May 6, 2021
I cannot keep up. 1. I thought the gap was closed 2. The calendar 3. The academies 4. Nobody cares (only if I don’t win) 5. Between 30 Feb at 12:31pm - 31 Feb 201X at 0500am - X # of wins…gap closed 6. We didn’t have XYZ player(s). But LigaMX can’t use same excuse - first dibs 7. Etc I can’t keep up
What’s going to be crazy is if Philly can go win this thing thanks a lot in part to being able to wait a few more months and being in mid-season form. None of these MLS teams are in form now.— Michael Buckelew (@MichaelBuckelew) May 6, 2021 Why doesn’t MLS itself care about CCL? Thank the refs for providing an excuse— MFT (@mthead141) May 6, 2021
It’s only a matter of time before MLS becomes the best league in Americas, we have the money to do so while the entire Latin America is broke. Money talks a lot in football. I’m an old guy so I remember when PL was miles behind Serie A and La Liga. Look how much has changed.— Anthony (@AnthonyKyaw) April 26, 2021
Problem is, MLS has no money. They should get rid of that salary cap, you’ll get a bunch of Barcelona’s. League will defunct in a few years. Teams will overprice players going to the MLS. Etc.
Thauvin llega a Tigres con un contrato de $36 millones y 5 temporadas de duración. O sea, hasta 2026 cobrará $7,2M brutos/año. En la #LigaMX esos salarios se pagan casi por cualquiera, mientras que en #MLS solo se los pagan a los campeones del mundo y estrellas de absoluta élite.— Jaime Ojeda (@jaimeor96) May 7, 2021
Yes, please remove the salary cap in the MLS so we can all watch them eventually crumble and see the league fold
juventus should let weston mckennie go to a serious club— Bill DiFilippo (@billdifilippo) May 9, 2021 I predict a Weston Mckennie goal today! 🇺🇸— Tactical Manager (@ManagerTactical) May 9, 2021
Man keeps mentioning Castillo and Dos Santos. Neither featured for América v Portland Hmm… Ochoa, Castillo y Dos Santos cobran cerca de eso (o más) también y juegan en América. Claro, Mazatlán no paga esos salarios, pero no son equipos que compitan vs. MLS en CCL. A eso me refiero. Pero podrían si tuvieran el dinero. Los de MLS tienen el dinero y no les dejan.— Jaime Ojeda (@jaimeor96) May 7, 2021
Yeah people that know say that the sporting culture in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina is a lot better than in Mexico, where it is subpar.
