There is grand visions of seeing MLS becoming a Europe-quality league, with virtual neglect of the quality leagues just south of the United States. While things are improving, MLS needs to continue to look to Latin America for how to build teams, instead of hoping the circus that is the LA Galaxy will dazzle the world before they even take to the pitch.

As much as I have high hopes for the MLS in the long term, we're just not ready for a competition like Copa Libertadores. Until US teams are at least getting to a final every three or four years, that's just not realistic. I have to agree with Christian.

If you can't win in your own confederation you don't deserve to compete in another, especially one as strong as CONMEBOL. A shame though, would have been nice to see either team in Japan.
