Group F is going to be so hilarious, because while Seattle and Vancouver duke it out, Olimpia has more than enough firepower to sneak in as top seed

Considering VCWC is only there due to their league status, it is fitting they get stuck playing their closest league rival.

RSL/DCU/LAG/CA should easily walk into the knockout.

Other 4, not so sure.

No matter what Canadian team ends up in the CCL, it will always end up in that year's Group of Death. Vancouver will have it tough. The other MLS teams seem to have it easier, especially DCU and LAG.

It's BS. There is no reason why US teams should get to avoid Mexican teams in the group stages. CSA needs to step up and do something about this.

It's going to be fun to watch Giovinco and Bradley dominate CCL in a couple years. Once we round this team up, they could do some serious damage in this tournament.

Hopefully Seattle or Vancouver can come through. I don't have a preference. I still want an MLS team to win this thing...

Seattle and Galaxy probably have the best chance. I'm not sold on DC winning outside of MLS. LA's team is looking better then ever. Jose villarel is looking promising and they will get a boost with Gerrard coming in.

Dempsey looks like he is playing with a LOT of freedom. Acting more like a #10.

And that was a well taken goal.


And then America does what it normally does - track meet goal. Away goal and that kills off Seattle's hopes of getting through.

I do too but mid season MLS teams are likely to have a few more injuries mid-season. Our depth is improving but not great in my view.

Liga MX is a 4 star league. MLS is a 3.5 star league. We're getting so close. Every year the gap is smaller. Galaxy and Sounders were competitive in their games. RSL and DC were not as competitive. They could have scored and missed some chances, but I thought the talent level was lower then the other 6 teams.

I thought the Sounders were the better team in their match. 2-2 heading to Mexico... anything is possible. And a 1-1 draw for LA would see them through as well. Big week coming up for this league.

Most tourneys have pots for team distribution. Of course they'd use the national standing vs a league rating.

These QFs are a fiasco for the MLS based teams. USSF and CSA need to push hard to get the QFs moved to at least April, even if that compresses the rest of the knockout games.

Or shift the opening weekend 1 or two weeks earlier. Once the League has 28 teams, there will be enough clubs in warmer climes that they could shift the schedule that much, and finish a little earlier than December. I expect 4 in California, 3 in Cascadia, 3 in Texas, 2 in Florida, Atlanta and one more somewhere in the Carolinas. Those all will have daytime highs in at least the low teens, even in late February.

That would work too.

Maybe not immediately but not too far in the future MLS should very seriously consider adopting the Russian Premier League calendar. The RPL has fewer teams but if MLS shifts to less inter-conference games, it could be accommodated. Starts in mid July, breaks in early Dec through mid March, concludes end of May. 30 game weeks. How to fit playoffs in that might need a creative solution, though.

There is a big gap but the schedule doesn't help. One team is playing its first competitive game in 3 months and the other is 7 games into their season.

Best thing MLS teams can hope for is to avoid Mexican teams as long as possible, which is how RSL got to the final. Or do what Montreal did and spend two weeks in Mexico preparing, but I doubt any other teams are gonna take the tournament that seriously.

Until the MLS raises the salary cap significantly we will struggle to compete in Champions League. As we have seen the Mexican teams field a lot of their bench or youth players for the majority of the tournament....
