I watched two games the past weekend due to limited channels at the cottage. One game the Scottish cup and the other was an MLS game. I thought the MLS players were tactically better? Not that either game was great. Beckham who I thought did well in Milan was average in the MLS. Of course that is also due to playing with better players in Milan. None the less, North American soccer is getting better, no doubt about that.

Don't bag the Scottish calibre of football, its been suffering for a good 30-40 years!!! > Beckham who I thought did well in Milan was average in the MLS.

It's taking its time getting better, though many people see the progress!!!

It is getting better, but still pretty poor overall.

Hard to compare the two leagues but I'd say the top SPL teams are way and far better than the top MLS teams >Beckham who I thought did well in Milan was average in the MLS.

Beckham was crocked and knackered when he joined the MLS

Hard to compare the two leagues but I'd say > the top SPL teams are way and far better than the top MLS teams No one would argue that Rangers and Celtic aren't better than the best in MLS, but once you get past those two, I think the leagues are pretty comparable, though the worst MLS teams are probably worse than the bottom SPL teams.
