"For me, I'm not the expert, but I have lived it and I've also played in this region for a long time, I've played against Mexican teams, I understand how these teams work. The calendar is obviously tricky. If we could play during our season and [the Liga MX] season, it would close the gap a little, but the real issue is when you look at Mexican league teams and their rosters, player one through 25 are really, really good and they're all making $600,000, $800,000, $1 million a year. They are … really talented one through 25. [MLS] have one through six, one through eight, one through 10 players that are very good and can compete on any day, but if you really want to close that gap, I think the thing is, we're spending extra, believe it or not. So far, [some MLS] teams are spending close to what Mexican teams are, we're just spending it on a few players and they're spending it on 15, and that's where the difference is."
