Hey! Do you enjoy international club soccer, but wish it was on your continent? Well, it is! It's called the International Champions' Cup The CONCACAF Champions League determines the best club in North America, which has been a Mexican squad for the past eleven Goddamn years. You're going to see the beautiful game played in incredibly ugly (and sparsely attended) places (and that's just the Caribbean!), refereeing that makes MLS's look like perfect robots, and best of all, the puto chant is inescapable! Other than that, it's pretty much equal to Copa Libertadores.

Teams are divided into groups who play round robin with each other. The team with the most amount of points moves on to the knockout round, which is seeded based on those very points.

Group A
Honduras Progreso (Honduras)
UNAM (Mexico)
W Connection (Trinidad & Tobago)

Group B
Dragón (El Salvador)
Portland Timbers (USA)
Saprissa (Costa Rica)

Group C
Central F.C. (Trinidad & Tobago)
Sporting Kansas City (USA)
Vancouver Whitecaps FC (Canada)

Group D
Árabe Unido (Panama)
Don Bosco (Haiti)
Monterrey (Mexico)

Group E
Olimpia (Honduras)
Pachuca (Mexico)
Police United (Belize)

Group F
Alianza (El Salvador)
Antigua (Guatemala)
Red Bull New York (USA)

Group G
Heredianco (Costa Rica)
Plaza Amandor (Panama)
UANL (Mexico)

Group H
FC Dallas (USA)
Real Estelí (Nicaragua)
Suchitepéquez (Guatemala)

Facebook Live will stream all the games in English (even the ones without MLS teams!) during the group stage, which is either a step up or a step below FS2, depending on how you view it. Spanish broadcasts will be on the Univision family of networks.

Group stage lasts from August to October; knockout stage is in the Spring.

I will never give up the dream of an MLS team winning this stupid league.

MLS teams have only won the CCL twice, and that was before it was a league format. Before the 2008-09 season, it was an eight-team knockout tournament, and even then one of the MLS teams that won never played a game against a Mexican team. Apart from the '98 Black-and-Red, there have been no good American teams ever.

CONCACAF Champions League format to change, so that the US, Mexico, and Canada go directly to a knockout stage.

e: Also, the qualifying stage is a tournament as well. Not much of a League, now, is it?

FC Dallas not looking too bad, I suppose!

They've won the right to be embarrassed by Pachuca!
