I agree with everything here, especially that USL has earned more attention.

MLS is so over hyped it's amazing. USL has as many teams in the CCL as MLS! What does that tell you about how over rated MLS is?

---"This game was absent of the bad giveaways and poor possession play that characterize MLS and are less prevalent but still numerous in USL-1." ---

Sorry but that's not the truth. USL1 teams are much worse at possessing the ball than Major League Soccer teams. Usually the need to possess when they play MLS teams which draws a good response from the USL1 team, but USL1 league games are horrible possession wise.

You took 1 maybe two examples to prop up a pretty poor argument.

Oh and "colleagues" is the spelling.

Nice observations. I'm getting sick of MLS (fans included) showing absolutely no respect to USL clubs. The gap between quality of play in both leagues is as small as it has ever been. Congrats to Puerto Rico and Montreal and good luck to them in the rest of the tournament.
