[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 296694, member: 1045"] To be fair, that was pretty funny. That said, in all seriousness, folks who don't follow MLS underestimate its current quality. It certainly started as a fourth or fifth-tier league, but has steadily increased its quality over the last 15 years. While MLS is certainly not a top four league in the world, it has become a very respectable, top-10 level league. For example, MLS sent the 10th most players to the last World Cup (grouped closely with Mexico and Portugal, and ahead of any South American domestic league including Brazil and Argentina).

There are currently over [B][U]200[/U][/B] players in MLS on active rosters that have played at least one game with their national team's first squad. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Major_League_Soccer_players_with_national_team_caps']LINK[/URL]. The league is also beginning to acquire younger and more in-demand talent.

For example, Atlanta United's three top paid players are just entering the beginning of their prime, and are very much in their respective national team pictures (Migel Almiron, 23, Paraguay; Joesef Martinez, 23, Venezuala; Hector Villalba, 22, Argentina).
