Because the MLS has a salary cap, something that the rest of world football isn’t used to, usually the difference maker between sides comes from the designated players that the clubs have invested in. This leads to players like Sebastian Giovinco, Robbie Keane and Nicolas Lodeiro being able to put teams on their back and by themselves change the course of their respective seasons. But for every Giovinco, there is always going to be a player that clubs spend tons of money on that don’t play the way they should.
