The age-old North American onslaught on the CONCACAF Champions League begun again this week. No Major League Soccer team has won the competition since its restructuring in 2008. It is a well-known fact.
What is even more alarming is that only three teams have made it to the final and only seven others have made it to the semi-finals. All in all, that is 44 semi-final berths and only ten of them occupied by MLS-based teams. Liga MX, the dominant league in the region, on the other hand, boasts 29 of the 44 semi-finalists.
When it comes to comparing MLS to its Mexican counterpart, there has always been a rather large disparity in quality.
