How big would that league be? Seems like they would have to introduce pro-rel to make that work.

i could understand champs playing each other, but 2 many teams for any real combining.

I don’t think it could work.

But if it did, would be fricking awesome.

Would be pointless unless this ensures MLS sides ditch the salary cap and get a substantial cut of the LigaMX massive tv contract.

Yes and no.


We can either get buried by Liga MX and it could set soccer in this country back big time, or we could cultivate the same resources and support that Liga MX teams already have and it could be the shot in the arm soccer in this country needs.

Probably a better chance that the former happens, but you never know.

Talking more about already having to travel across the US and Canada, now you'd have to add Mexico as part of your weekly travel plans?

What makes you think teams in the same league would agree to abide by different rules?

So would Liga MX take part in MLS draft? If so those college kids will LOVE being drafted by a Mexican team so they can go live there

I doubt many teams would be drafting in the super draft

When their academy players are way better.
