But again its my opinion, don't know why it angered you so much

Not angry at all, apologies if I came off that way.
I think that out of the 40 players who were in the player pool for the US world cup squad about 18 of them were from the MLS. Now only 4 made the final 23 but I do think it illustrates that MLS is a league with significant talent throughout. Probably another 4 or 5 in the Mexican player pool are in that league as well. I don't think there is one team in League 1 with 3 or 4 internationals on a top 15 nation in the world, probably not many championship teams either.
I think watching it is super crappy, mainly because of the atmosphere when you tune in and see a game in a place like Kansas City where there are 5K there out of a claimed 10-15K and they are so very
quiet. I think that the quality of the football gets a bad rap because of how crappy the atmosphere is which is why I addressed crowds.
