What can MLS and Liga MX learn from the Leagues Cup?
LA TimesThe results don’t lie. The Liga MX could qualify only one of its teams for the semifinals of the League Cup 2023, a tournament that had many disadvantages for the Mexican team, but that also left clear the stubbornness of some of the officials involved with soccer in Mexico. On the flip side, the Leagues Cup also dispensed a bit of humility to the Mexican teams and officials, who for some reason thought that despite all types of disadvantages, they would still wipe the floor with MLS. Deportes Comentario: Leagues Cup 2023 exhibió la soberbia de directivos de la Liga MX Los resultados de Leagues Cup no debieron de sorprender a nadie, pues la Liga MX no solamente enfrentó a rivales muy competitivos de la MLS, pero lo hizo con todas las condiciones en contra. MLS teams would not accept having their teams on foreign soil for an entire month, traveling across the entirety of Mexico to compete in the Leagues Cup.
