Young Boys won me over—they have heart and dug deep against Atalanta. Already beat MU.

As for the MLS…what a daft, hybridized, off-brand knockoff. 30+ games just to determine which 8 teams get home seed in a single elimination match. One by-game for the 2 conference winners. No relegation or promotion. Not really too much point in those 30+ games.

Just kick out the crappy teams and do a 16-team blind draw derby. The home/away format is more likely than the present one to reveal the overall best team. Save the carbon. Jeesh.
