Monterrey will start against Oceanian champion Auckland City or Moroccan champions Raja Casablanca. If Monterrey wins, they will face Atlético Mineiro, who won the Copa Libertadores. The tournament will be from December 11 to December 21. Last year the draw was earlier, September 24. A speaker at the draw mistakenly said Monterrey is the champion of Central and Southern America and the Caribbean.
Monterrey has been absolute crap! Wouldn`t surprise me if they don`t finish top 3. The only good thing is that they are facing the Libertadores champ if they pass the first round and not Bayern. Tijuana outplayed Mineiro and probably should have eliminated them in the quarters of Libertadores. So the difference in level of football is not much.
Monterrey finish 5th winning 5-1 The fact that Raja Casablanca is in the final makes it a little less embarassing for Monterrey and Concacaf. And it shuts up the mofos that suggest it goes back to one match Conmebol vs UEFA!
