Rumors have CONCACAF announcing details of the Champions league - i think today - what are your thoughts on this tournament? Im looking forward to it!
Club interests aside.I think we all have to root for our US teams to do well in these tourneys. A solid run could really do wonders for the game in this country.
I think it's critical for MLS to play in international tournaments. We shouldn't ahve to make the case to central americans and mexicans living in this country that MLS is quality, but by participating in these tournaments, the proof is in the pudding. And that can only be good for MLS. I also think it will help the confidence of the american MLS players, some of whom seemed a bit overwhelmed just to be on the pitch in this last world cup. I honestly believe that some of our players who haven't played overseas do believe the hype that we are second rate. NYCFC v. Boca Jrs., May 2, 2011! The thought makes me misty eyed.

I def. agree. I always root for the US teams in every tournament. Even with how much I hate DC, I was really rooting for them and the Dynamo in the Champions Cup last year.
