Zach nails it, Sporting KC would be in the Championship League in the UK - and if they would be in the EPL they would be the team picked for regulation every year. Sporting's D wouldnt be able to handle the offense of the top tier English teams, nor would they be able to score as much (anemic in general).
German soccer is a Top 3 league (top to bottom) - La Liga (Spain) Is the best based on their players, but you only really have 2 teams their that have all those players (barsa, real)
EPL has a few top tier teams that have great players (Manchester United, Manchester City (recently as they were a middle of the table group until the purchase), Chelsea, and then teams that always fight for those 4 or 5 spots (Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal)
Serie A has Juventus, AC Milan, Inter are the top 3 there year in and year out.
Bundesliga - FC Bayern Munich, Borrusia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkussen and FC Shalke04
These leagues outfit most if not all of the national teams that are top 10 in Fifa Rankings -
Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Portugal, England, Italy, Netherlands
How many players that play in the United States League play on those national teams?
That is how you determine strength of the league... So your wife is right, but I HATE Germany. Im from Argentina.. so Im biased.
