If it is like last year away goals do not count double. I'm not a 100% but I think if the goal scores are tied up after the second leg they go straight to pk's.

sounds good. just wanting to know what's in effect before I attend game 2.

No problem glad I could be of some help.

Not official yet, but Club America wrote a letter to TFC HQs and asked if they can host thier home match in Dallas, Texas.

All this really makes me wonder if there won't be some sort of MLS-MFL merger down the road. The FMF really seems to like the US market.

If the MLS ever folds then i could see the MFL having Clubs in the U.S.. If not then i can definetly see some sort of Cup being played between the two leagues.

It's a good move for Club America if it works out. Last year the Mexican sides were letting in people for free if they had a game stub from a league match. This way they can make some money off the Mexican's and Salvadorians in Dallas.

I am all for my team playing abroad.

This summer they will play against Man U, Barcelona, and Rangers. They also want to do a European tour, but nothing clear about that yet.

America is producing some damn good youth players right now and hopefully playing against more Euro team.. it could open more doors.

A trio of former champions - and a first-time entrant - get things started when the first round of the 2003 CONCACAF Champions Cup kicks off on Wednesday 5 March under the schedule confirmed today.

Looks like America will be playing it's home games in the Cotton Bowl. I am suprised to see that the Revolution will be playing it's home game in Costa Rica.

You are not the only one.

[sidspaceman]

Yes I can see that. I hope that the Revolution can work something out and manage to play the game in front of it's own fans.
