If Major League Soccer wants to sell to the world, it’s one of the best or growing soccer leagues in the world, it needs to do a better job of commanding their own region.

MLS sides have historically and continue to struggle to defeat Mexican teams in the Concacaf Champions Cup, and on Tuesday two of their better sides were completely manhandled by their Mexican counterparts.

After a 0-0 draw in leg one in Philadelphia, Pachuca hammered the Union 6-0, Tigres also drew 0-0 with Orlando City in Florida, and while a tighter match 4-2 in favor of Tigres in Mexico, two of MLS’ better sides are out of the CCC.
