Heck yeah Can`t wait till America kicks the Galacticos ass in the group stages and prevents them from even qualifying to the knockout stages.......oh wait!
The real question should be who`s gonna win it between America, Toluca, and Tijuana............cuz we all know Cruz Azul is losing the final. America is going to win the record 6th Concacaf Champions League and leave Cruz Azul and everybody else in the dust!
Due to the embarassing exit by Chivas in the group stage and the even more discgraceful display by Tuca in the quartefinals Liga MX has to step it up this year. That said I too see title number nine on the horizon.

Fox Sports 1 doesn't exist yet. http://www.concacaf.com/article/concacaf-champions-league-on-tv says UDN was the only channel showing yesterday's games in the USA.
So Esteli fall to Sporting KC, no surprise there and so do The Earthquakes in Montreal.. interesting.
Yeah Esteli no suprises though on the plus side how good did it look with a healthy crowd to a game ( escepially after El Salvador and Panama poor effort)
I only get the MX games that ESPN3 releases, so I don't get to keep up with most of the teams, but... how much of that was America's A-team? They did win, but they looked pretty toothless.
This was the starting team in J3: América: Muñóz, Rodríguez, Mosquera, Valenzuela, Mina, Jiménez, Sambueza, Mendoza, Layún, Aguilar y Medina This was the starting team in last weeks game against Atlas: América: Rodríguez, Mosquera, Valenzuela, Mina, Jiménez, Sambueza, Mendoza, Layún, Aguilar, Muñóz y Medina This was the CCL starting team: América: González, Layún, Valenzuela, Mosquera, Aldrete, Gutiérrez, Molina, Martínez, Bermúdez, Andrade y Rey.
