    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.

    this makes me happy against "Former MLS MVP Carlos “El Pescadito” Ruiz stepped up to take it, lacing a dipping shot toward the back post"

    Watching the LA game and have to say that CCL Reffing in this game takes incompetence to a whole new level

    3-3 tie the final result. DC really is in free-fall.

    An MLS club in every match. Probably the best odds MLS has of winning this thing so far.

    Hmmm...really good goal here by Queretaro. DCU not looking out of place against this team but their midfield isn't really good at creating chances.

    High press by America vs. a team suddenly realising they don't need to play counter. VERY fast pace.

    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.

    Yeah, that was a pretty intense game between Club America and Seattle...the Sounders looked to be in mid-season form, and so did their crowd.
