to be honest most countries pro Leagues in Europe are top heavy. Only a few countries can have competitive through out the League or have a 2nd division with clubs that can still attract rather big attendances and still compete at a high standard. Germany and England have the strongest top 4 divisions in the world. Most clubs in other leagues in 2nd divisions play in front of 3,000 fans in what would be a decaying old small stadium. That said in some cases I still wouldn't say MLS teams would beat some of these clubs, I still think MLS doesn't have strong enough balance through out its teams to compete at a high level. We have seen some MLS clubs struggle in Concacaf Champions League vs some clubs from small countries with small support, small decaying stadiums without much money still destroy some MLS clubs.
