Atlante's 'keeper was way out of position on the game-winner. What do we conclude about the level of talent/play in the FMF?

dimesmakedollars:
At this point, I believe Puerto Rico could take a shot on the opening kickoff and score. It's unreal how quickly they and Montreal have scored throughout the competition.
fischy:
Vilar did get caught, but I prefer to look at what Quintero did there. His glance up drew Vilar, who was expecting the normal kind of shot from that range (with power) or possibly a chipped pass/through ball. Quintero completely fooled him, and the lob was absolutely fantastic.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I wonder what kind of money it would take to get Quintero to MLS. It took $4 million for Santos to get him, and he seems to be able to score and create at will for them.

That 4th minute goal for PR just adds more fuel to the fire for Chest_Rockwell's analysis of why the USL teams have been doing so well in Champions League play.
