I really think New York can beat Chivas if they keep playing like they’ve been.

Toronto will have their work cut out against America, but hey, they beat Tigres, so who knows?

It’s still been a great CCL so far for the league. We have to have at least one team make the final, though, if we ever want to earn more respect. Winning series against Mexican teams is outstanding, but we need to finally get over the hurdle and win the damn thing.

The thing about MLS and who they are, unlike all the other leagues in the world, if Toronto and NYRB can kick butt in CONCACAF, that means the whole league has potential to, and not like in Europe where only a few out of 20 teams in every league can ever be capable of winning Champions League (yes I know, can't compare too too much)

Yeah, that’s what is frustrating, but ultimately very exciting about MLS. When the top dogs catch up to Mexico’s best, that means the rest of the league isn’t far behind because of how the league is structured. Teams like NYRB that have invested heavily into their academies are seeing the benefits.

Granted, compared to Toronto and NYCFC, the teams at the bottom of MLS like Minnesota United are pretty terrible, but that gap between best and worst isn’t as big as in the majority of leagues. Hell, last season the LA Galaxy finished dead last as a reminder of how much parity there is in this league.
