    We always seem to play well against LA, plus they are struggling this year, so that's my rationale.

    TFC can beat Becks and Co.

    I'm sure that ML$E would prefer that matchup too, for obvious reasons $$$.

    they don't want to play a mexican team. MLS clubs have a bad record against them!

    They all have intrigue...

    Tigres would be a new opponent for us, they could perhaps not get the seriousness of the competition yet and we could take advantage?
    Santos would generate some headlines, the rematch, with Frings this time, some bad blood from the Semi Final...much interest there.
    LA clearly would want revenge for the Quarterfinal but are in poor form. I imagine they play better by the summer, but they just seem to be lacking.
    Seattle would be a difficult one. We don't play well at Video Games Online Field, I think they are a club we just don't match up with well.

    I wouldn't be afraid of a mexican club, we won't be afraid to go play there.

    Why only those 4? These new groups are trash...

    Both Tigres and Santos are quite good. Santos is the Mexican champion and Tigres has a good defence...and unlucky not to have beaten Santos. Sounders, we can never play well VS the xbox team. So LA Galaxy most definitely.

    I think LA would be the easiest to handle, I'd like to see Tauro too, I missed the game against them last year.

    I wish the group stage was 4x4 instead of 8x3. I feel it'll be too short with 4 matches as opposed to 6.

    It's worth noting that these Mexican teams will not be on season form since they will be coming back from a summer break. So it's best time to play against Mexican teams.

    But on the hand beating MLS' favour team (L.A.) would be funny.

    A Mexican team, because TFC can use all the experience, to be a better team.

    Galaxy would sell the best, followed by Santos Laguna, which Canadian soccer fans should know the name already. MLSE will love to have Galaxy, but I want something new i.e. Tigres.

    I think it's a no-brainer. If we want to succeed and progress, it has to be LA, the team we have the best chances against. Especially given their current form.

    I'd suggest to be flexible for clubs in other tournaments, leagues.

    This - only to play the full 180 minutes (instead of 135).

    4 teams per group = 6 games each (home and away against the other three teams).

    it's 3 teams in 8 groups now. so 4 games per team in 6 CCL matchdays during group stage

    from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313_CONCACAF_Champions_League

    "On January 12, 2012, CONCACAF announced that the 2012–13 tournament will be played under a different format than previous editions.[5] The Preliminary Round will be eliminated, and all 24 teams are instead placed into eight groups of three teams each for the Group Stage of the tournament. For the Group Stage draw, the teams are seeded into three pots, based on their national association and qualifying berth. Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) cannot be drawn with each other in the Group Stage, and each group is guaranteed to contain a team from either the United States or Mexico, meaning U.S. and Mexican teams will not play each other in the first round."

    im still confused..

    In whatever group we get drawn into, will that group also contain a Honduran/panamanian/salvadorian etc. team?
