I’ve seen some ACL (Asian Champions League) matches with the CSL clubs involved. Without the foreign stars, they would be NASL quality. Even their foreign stars are not playing at the top of their ability over there. Probably stems from complacency by making way too much money and lacking motivation to bring their ‘A’ game against lesser opponents.
Has anyone here actually watched the Chinese league? How is the quality, compared to MLS? I understand they’re splashing ridiculous amounts of cash, but I sure would’ve loved to see some of these high profile players (who are still young) come our way instead.
Yep!
