    Couple things 1. if the NFL guys are getting in on this something will happen 2. Thats alot of guap, legit prize money as 3. It appears that the bigger SA teams want in on this see prize money $US 30 mil.

    I alluded to this earlier, but this might eventually nullify Libertadores; because the prize money for qualifying for group stage is 5 million the same amount for winning Copa Libertadores. I think the 64 participants should get slashed maybe to 48 with 24 teams from North and South America.

    I like it how it is already tbh. We're the only league in North America that can actually compete with the South American teams. Why water down the competition? I know... The answer is $$$.

    Yeah hard to turn down that type of money backing. Long term benefit increased competition and visibility. This seems to be more substantial as this was discussed earlier in the year and Silva said the group would starting making the connections later cough cough... bribe money.

    So, what happens to Copa Libertadores & CONCACAF Champion's League, then? Will America's Champions League supersede those competitions? Will the ACL allow birth to the CWC?

    Details being worked out. Appears from articles that CONMEBOL is getting in on this $$$ working things out with the organizers. Organizers are saying next step is negotiating with CONCACAF. This is looking sort of like Copa Centenario on the club level on a possible annual basis. I think if the money turns out being half of whats being floated around it's to sweet a deal to turn around. I see no downsides other than travel but the money covers that and then some plus the exposure. As far as what happens to the tournaments I see know way for them to continue to co exist. I think SA has maybe started to see that if they ever want to compete with the UEFA Champions League economically changes are needed to compete.

    This explains the change with the Copa Centenario merger. centennially with the greater Americas. All this imho screams trial run to see if it whats been talked about for years can now actually work.

    So I'm guessing they'll have to go to 48 instead of 64 I don't see how you get 32 first division North & Central American teams unless they exactly model the UEFA CL and you have the lower Central American and South American countries like Jamaican and Bolivian teams eliminate themselves in prelims. As far as CWC I'd imagine the top two advancing teams from CONCACAF AND CONMEBOL will go to the CWC. FIFA will allow it because...$$$$ see Copa Centenario.

    If this is carried out, then why even have separate confederations anymore? Might be a first step toward merging them.

    If NFL connections have been made this will happen the media connections are strong with Tagliabue, and the fact that the South Americans clubs are jmping on this along with the Argeintine AFA is all you need to know. Writing is on the wall, just small details to be worked out.

    http://www.diez.hn/internacionales/882602-99/la-champions-league-en-américa-contaría-con-64-equipos

    Two new things the ACL would start in 2019 . This is the Auto qualifying numbers per league and country top four teams in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador and Colombia would recieve automatic berths The top three teams in the US, Peru, Bolivia and Costa Rica will receive automatic berths , the remaining leagues will qualify through preliminary playoffs rounds. Looks like they'll be using an UEFA CL coefficient system.

    There was some good points made by Tim Vickery on this

    Pretty much said that there was 3 big problems

    1.Distance
    2.Visas to the states
    3.What to do with all the lil Caribbean countries

    Instead propose a tournament between the top 4 libertadores teams v the 4 CCL teams

    But yea ultimately if the money is right, it could get done

    A potential matchup of Isidro Metapan vs River Plate? Lol or Montreal Impact vs Boca Juniors? :D. Would be awesome to finally see the top Mex teams vs top South America opposition. Though they are the only teams who would be able to truly compete against SA teams.

    would be hilarious to watch MMLS teams get raped by Brazilian & Argie clubs on a continuous basis

    it's bad enough for them when Mexican clubs playing half-gassed beat them, imaging all the LOLs when the likes of Boca & Corinthians go in dry

    In all fairness this is mainly CONMEBOL teams wanting the money as the article stated the organizers have a number of SA teams on board and they need to do the same with MLS and Liga MX teams.

    We already have the Central American clubs playing in the US with no visa problems. What makes you think that there would be an issue with South American clubs who are richer.

    BTW, libertadores is a historic tournamenet. Teams look at wining that as prestige, the club world championship is just the after-thought. Its not like us where the only reason we care about CCL is because of the club world championship.

    I really hope this does not happen

    it is like watering down the libertadores with MLS teams

    MLS teams are trash and they do not add any competitive value to any international tournament

    just look at the concacaf champions league, no MLS team has won it in like forever


    fack the MLS
