As they should be. The general pecking order in CWC is:
Europe
South America
North America
Asia
Host (usually Asia)
Africa
Oceania
A North American (see: Mexican) team has never finished in the top two. Both Africa and Asia have managed at least a runners-up in the past few years...for MLS to start to be considered a good league winning the CCL and placing well in the CWC would help. MLS won't be considered a top-tier league until its clubs are routinely beating those in Mexico. It's possible but we're still at least a decade out from it becoming common.
