IFFHS League Ranking - MLS 66th in the world, 4th in CONCACAF. What's it's real ranking?

[Ansem]

Ultimately - CPL will be a top 3 CONCACAF league. The debate is how soon can they get there?

Quite possible.  There wasn't a ton of rigour put into my effort...

In keeping with the original ranking post.

I'd put Panama - Costa Rica 3-4, interchangeably.  They are the two most stable countries in Central America, as well as the richest.  Both countries have teams that tend to do well against LMX/MLS teams. The CPL should be striving over time to get into that 3-5 spot with those two leagues.  Right now I'd put CPL ahead of all the Carribbean leagues and behind all the Central American leagues, barring Belize and maybe Guatemala.

the clubs in Panama haven't fans. Panamá League isn't Like Panamá national team. There are not stadiums in Panamá. The Teams aren't strong in the economic.  

watch out! They are strong and rapids. their defensive organization  is very good. They're very dangerous

You may be righ about Panama economically, but their clubs seem to be doing well on continent, so maybe they're punching above their weight. Honduras also has a good record in CONCACAF's leagues the last while, so maybe I should have them there too as 3-5. 

Anyway, the CPL can be in that mix. It'll take time, but we do have the resources.

I think there's also a difference between "the top clubs in a league" vs "the overall quality of a league".  The CPL might top to bottom be better than some leagues already, but the top clubs in those leagues are still better than the best in the CPL.
