if only mls didnt want to kill this competition. What a great game and a showing of what local community soccer can be!

Both teams played great. We need more MLS vs USL games

So… do they swap leagues now or what?

one could only wish. San jose is the worst team in the western conference in mls. Sacramento is the best in the USLC.

@@kevinbarnes218 That's pretty accurate but there are others among Sacramento in the USLC that make it hard to pick an outright best. For example, Charleston Battery, Louisville FC, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, San Antonio FC, Detroit City FC, and Phoenix Rising are all competitive contenders for best in the league along with Sacramento. Though when it comes to the Open Cup, Sacramento is easily the best of both conferences.

@@kevbarnes8459 hey honestly I'm not gonna blame you for it - I was super hyped when you all had a chance to take down Orlando City 'cause of how much us Rowdies fans absolutely despise them. (Besides, putting the Rowdies in that list could show I'm biased too, lol) I just thought it'd be good to show a USL perspective in an MLS world, you know?

USL is not a less talented league. They are just underfunded and under-marketed.

It is less talented. Not trying to demean USL here, but Sac played on 10 days rest against an entirely-rotated team that had just played three days prior. Not to mention, it's the worst team in the MLS. The talent gap would be more apparent vs. most other MLS teams.

@@jonjay7512 Sac also beat SJ, Galaxy, and SKC 2 years ago, with Galaxy and SKC mostly using their first team. This isn't a one off thing for Sac.

@@valornash8463 SJ also had a fully-rotated lineup for that one. Galaxy started a couple of their regulars but mostly went with backups. SKC was as bad as the Quakes that year, but at least they took that game more seriously. And IIRC, Sac got to host at least two of those games. Yes, Sac can beat the worst of rotated MLS teams at home and with more rest between games. That isn’t proof that USL as a whole is as talented as MLS.

@valornash8463 3 ай бұрын

@@jonjay7512 no, but it is proof that most guys starting for USL clubs could make MLS benches. The talent gap is from a few first team players, and then MLS falls *way* off because of salary cap rules, which USL doesn't have.
