CONCACAF, the governing soccer body for North and Central America, has decided to adopt a format of the popular European Champions League tournament, slated to start in 2009. The tournament will be smaller than that of its European counterpart due to the smaller number of leagues that will be involved.
I understand that this post deviates from the title of my blog, however, this could have a direct impact on the New England Revolution. I am an avid Manchester United fan and watching them progress in the Champions League is fantastic to watch. They only broadcast select games from the European competition so to get a competition like it, where American clubs can compete sounds very exciting. Seeing as four clubs from the United States will be competing, and the success of the Revolution as of late, I'm sure we will be seeing much of them in the competition in the upcoming years. I know this will excite avid soccer fans here in the United States as I have grown envious of the European clubs having exclusivity to the greatest club competition in the world. Granted, I'm sure this competition will not even come close to matching the European equivalent, but I'm sure it will satisfy the soccer enthusiasts in this country and we can see where the MLS' best compete with the best from the other countries.
