Gamba Osaka a mid-table team at best? I'm sorry but apart from 2003 (10th) and 2008 (8th) they've finished consistently in the top 3 since 2002 and won the league in 2005.

Gamba is probably the most feared team If your team soley rely on players pysical strength to play .Their two Brazilian Strikers get great pace and are very clinical in front of goals which means they can get much closer to the danger zone than normal Jap Strikers.The reason why Houston get destroyed is because the players in the MLS are too slow to match the tempo of Gamba Osaka which technically is playing the same kind of Football like the Spanish national team,Barcelona and Arsenal.

I didn't know much about the J-league, but I've done some research. I will concede that the quality of play in the MLS is inferior to that of the J-league. However, you give the reasons as to why the MLS is inferior. The teams in the MLS just don't have the budget to build a team that can compete with the J-league.

@psuitts11 put it this way, the bottom 3 teams in the relegation zone operate on budjets double that of the salary cap in the MLS...the biggest team urawa reds...has a net salary pay out of over $16million USD...that's 7 times bigger than the salary cap in the MLS. the j.league is miles better than the mls, watch some games and see for yourself |
