      Thanks for the positive rep!

      Just as an aside, I have no problem with the Red Bulls or their fans. Red Bull Arena is a fantastic place to watch a match, and you've got a pretty good team to follow. While I am a Union fan through and through, but I can't understand the manufactured hate from a lot of Union fans. They just want to feel part of something important, I guess. I don't know. I don't share many of their opinions. Just like they can disagree with me regarding this, I can disagree with them. Rivalries come from years and years of tension and tough games, and not from being located 90 miles from each other.

      I am a fan of the Union first, but I'm also a fan of MLS, and that includes all of its teams. Hopefully, I'm not the last cool guy from Philly you meet.

      C'mon the U!

      Just to clarify: it wasn't over the "opinion", per se - that is, I have no problem with you not liking the CCL as is.

      But I felt that the tone of your argument was elitist; as in, "we should concentrate on Superliga because here in the US, we're above the type of third-world corruption and incompetence you find in CONCACAF." First, with Gulati on their ExCom and Blazer as the General Secretary, we know that the US is at least a silent enabler to whatever happens there; and secondly, Gulati himself is an example of where a less-than-total devotion to transparency and accountability takes place within our own soccer as well. I just don't agree with looking down upon everyone else in Concacaf, when corruption happens in other countries whose soccer is considered reputable (e.g. illegal betting in Germany, paying off small teams in Spain, MLS favorable rules for the Galaxy [to an extent], the Asian Football Confederation as a whole, etc.) Hence the neg rep.

      Thanks for the rep. I was sure someone out there would get a Sunset Boulevard reference. I thought about casting JPA as the Wm. Holden kept man character and 'Goos as the German butler, but that might have been stretching it.
