The Leagues Cup tournament is full steam ahead and the clash between the MLS and Liga MX is beginning to look complicated for the Mexican teams as only four of the 18 teams seem to be advancing to the next round.
Everything Messi. Half the Price
A Former Cruz Azul striker, C�sar Delgado was seemingly disappointed about Liga MX's results as he spoke about the inside of the league's approach, claiming that it is misplaced when competing against MLS teams, as he considered that the tournament is only looked at as a cash-grab opportunity for the Mexican side rather than focusing on improving the league's level by competing against South American teams.
Mexico's world cup performance was sub-par as they did not advance the group stage for the first time in decades and many believe that the lack of competing with teams form South American countries such as Brazil or Argentina will raise the level of the game, however, based on current results, that seems harder to do.
Only four of 18 teams are close to the second round of the tournament

Meanwhile, the former striker believes that Mexico should also participate in other tournaments "It is better to be in the Libertadores or the South American tournament, Mexico has a very competitive level and should play in the Libertadores," said Chelito in an interview on social media.
Mexico's performance in the Leagues Cup has left much to be desired since only four out of 18 teams have a guaranteed ticket to the second round of the tournament: Pachuca, who as champion of the Apertura 2022 won a direct ticket. While only Am�rica, Le�n, and qualified for the knockout round.

The rest of the teams still have a chance of advancing, but there are teams that put themselves in a compromising position after playing their first match: Cruz Azul, Xolos, Chivas, Pumas, Santos Laguna, Puebla, Quer�taro, Necaxa, Ju�rez and San Luis will play their next match, while teams like Rayados, Tigres and Toluca have a good chance of advancing.
On ESPN, former Mexican National Team player Jared Borguetti pointed out that some Mexican teams may have made the trip just to participate and get paid, but the way they have been outclassed by the MLS teams.
