year after year we have to wait for an entire month while the CCL group stage plays out. first the U.S. open cup champion, MLS cup champion, SS champion, Mexican Clausura champion, Mexican Apertura playoff champion, Mexican Apertura regular season champion, one team from Costa Rica, and one team from Honduras, are automatically in the round of 16. the 16 other team are subject to a random draw to decide matches in the preliminary round. the teams play a Home/Home series based on aggregate. the eight winners play advance to the round of 16. the 8 automatic qualifiers are drawn first followed by the next eight. this way no team from the top eight can play each other. they play an aggregate Home/Home series. the eight winning teams are randomly drawn for the quarter finals which are the same format. the 4 winners are drawn for the semi-finals. the two winners advance to the Final. the Final is no longer a Home/Home series. it would be play at a neutral site. Each Nation could put forth one stadium for their bid, the finals would be played in april. what if cowboys stadium were to host a winner take all one game final.

Yep, let's just have a knockout tournament and revert back to the old tournament that next to no one cared about at all. No thanks.
