Drogba: MLS has a ways to go before it can be considered a “big” league

Didier Drogba says he's optimistic about the future of MLS, but claims it has a lot of work to do if it wants to be one of the world's top leagues.

MONTREAL — MLS' stated objective of becoming one of the best leagues in the world by 2020 is one that, Didier Drogba believes, it is far from achieving.

Speaking to reporters Saturday following the Montreal Impact’s final game of the season, where the 37-year-old forward scored twice in a 2-1 win over Toronto FC, Drogba said MLS still has many things it needs to ameliorate before it can be considered as one among the finest divisions.
