      What leagues in the world aren't selling their best talent? I mean outside of 2-3 teams in Italy, Germany, France, Spain...everyone is selling except the EPL.

          Those leagues are also acquiring talent right? The EPL doesn't dominate the CL and went 6 years without a win and 5 years without a finalist. In fact since 2012 Spain had 7 CL finalists, England 3, Germany 2 and Italy 2. Also Ajax and Paris FC would wipe the floor with most MLS teams.

          Again I don't ever expect MLS to be spoken about in the same sentence as the Bundesliga, Lique 2, La Liga, EPL, etc., but I am sure US fans would love to see a bit more of the homegrown talent than they're used to seeing if it doesn't come at the expense of development for the NT.

            The biggest problem with that is the $ vehicles MLS has created aren't "meant" for Americans. MLS doesn't want teams using GAM/TAM on keeping Americans. It's meant to bring in other talent so until that changes...

            You can talk about finalists or whatever but those non-english teams are the same couple of teams aren't they? Like I said, other than the EPL, none of those leagues are deep. There are 2-3 teams that dominate and spend... The bottom half of La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga has talent but they aren't dropping giant coin on acquiring players. Ajax has amazing development abilities...

                And even Ajax spent five seasons without a CL appearance.

                Heck, even big teams like Ajax are usually sellers on the transfer market.

                  And yet even those sellers would be hard pressed to find MLS teams a stiff test on the whole.

                  Like I said I don't expect MLS to ever be on an even playing field in this regard and England is the world benchmark, but even Germany doesn't lose most of their best to other leagues. A look at 2018 WC teams and how many played in their home country:

                  Portugal - 5
                  Spain - 17 (on 6 different La Liga teams)
                  France - 9 (on 5 Ligue 2 teams)
                  Peru - 5
                  Argentina - 4
                  Brazil - 3
                  Germany - 15 (on 8 Bundesliga teams)
                  England - all players were in the EPL (10 different teams)

                      Several I'm sure but we're losing too many for my taste is my point and I'd like to see it be less. That may not be realistic but it's my personal want.

                        Minnesota United beats Portland in the semifinals of the US Open Cup and will face Atlanta in the final.

                        MNUFC, you beat Portland, that makes you winners in my book.

                                Random draw I guess...based on teams saying they are able to host during the given dates.
