TFC is the best of the bunch, and it would be interesting if MLS started winning regionally again but it was a Canadian team that did it. Except Tigres is a tough draw. I think Seattle and NY have more favorable opponents but aren't as good of teams, and Seattle would have to go away for the second leg. I wouldn't mind MLS winning but I basically see how it goes as a barometer of where we stand relatively speaking.

As I've somehow dettached myself from the Canetti-run Dynamo, I find it very rewarding to watch these Concacaf-league games and cheer for whatever MLS team is playing. I'm only glad it's not the LA Galaxy. If it's an MLS team playing the Dynamo, I'll cheer for the Dynamo. If it's MLS against somebody else' I'll root for MLS. Nice to feel somehow neutral.
Great win by the MLS Champions Toronto over MX Liga Champions Tigres. Nice pressure and finishes by Toronto in the box. MLS 2-0 so far in the quarterfinals. Seattle needs a result now in the Pacific Northwest!

Heft, you are horrible! Let us at least enjoy these great MLS victories before you bring us back down to reality! You are as bad as a girlfriend I had in college, she used to wake me up in the middle of a wet dream!

Too bad Seattle blew it last night. Still...the semis look like great matchups. C'mon MLS...lets make it boring and have two MLS teams in the final.
Remember that night that De Ro came off the bench late on, stripped the dude from San Francisco FC and fired home from 35 yards to win the CCL game for Houston Dynamo fans. I do as well miss those mid week nights!
