Counterpoint: Why the Cosmos’s dominance is good for the NASL 11 Oct 2013 In soccer, enforced parity is deadly. You yourself say that "draws are the norm" in NASL. For the teams placed 2–7, that's more or less true, especially for two teams. Second-place Tampa Bay (five draws) averages 1.4 points per game. In the Bundesliga, that rate would put them in seventh place. NASL's seventh-place Edmonton (also with five draws) averages 1.1 points per game, a rate that's good for 15th place in the Bundesliga (an 18-team league).
