We actually probably have the weakest of the three groups: Atlante is the weakest Mexican team, New England we could beat with our improved team (I think they'll take it over Joe Public). I would hate to be in group A which is much tougher. There, you have DC who are waking up, Saprissa which was runner-up in the last Champions Cup, Cruz Azul is going to be murder.

P.S. I think there is another thread on this somewhere.
