as one of the top leagues in the world. Attendance is surprisingly higher than many other leagues (even in England many of the stadia have only 25k to 40k seats).

Also, part of the high ranking also comes from the stability of the league. Teams are franchises of the league and not separate entities, IIRC.

Responses:

i think they've done a good job running the league and making it a success, but it's not really one of the top leagues in the world.... - x Jul 29, 09:46 6
- I can't really argue what you're saying. As I said some of their rankings are for attendance and financial stability.Play-wise it could be better but - zork Jul 29, 09:53 5
  - i just can't see how they are ever not going to bleed their top local talent to europe.... - x Jul 29, 10:01 4
    - yeah, but I think the talent level of middling US and SA players is rising and more middling or older Euro players will come here. Also, too many Euro - zork Jul 29, 10:04 3
      - i agree with the first part about us/sa players. i just think the mls is stuck in a place like the european basketball leagues are.... - x Jul 29, 10:12 1
        
        pretty much (England, Germany, and Spain will also be the best) but MLS tv contracts are only going to rise in value and money talks. - zork Jul 29, 10:18
      - also, I think all boats will raise higher with NBCSports coming in with more soccer. -- nm - zork Jul 29, 10:09
