This tournament is so heavily designed in favor of MLS teams. In addition to the MLS getting 5 slots, they put all the Mexican teams on one side but MLS evenly spread out. What a crock.
So you missed the whole part where they had a live draw to determine the bracket? It's not 2011 anymore, Concacaf has (thankfully) left those days behind.
yes, for me this is a bigger surprise than Austin, because Pachuca are some CCL experts. not this year
