new USA jersey on sale 3/24.

I would like to see an MLS team win that trophy.  How seriously does Mexican sides take this competition?

A bit more serious about it now since the mexican league send their champion and sub-champion unlike before when it was like the 3rd or 4th place team.

So how does that work? How is it decided who gets to participate in Copa Libertadores then?

The two teams with the most points in the last season(not including the ones that go to the Concachampions) go directly to group stage of Libertadores and then next highest team has a two leg playoff with another south american league team for another spot.

You also get to see Andy Najar

.

Im only going to about 4 games this year.

DC United: Najar and Davies are the only reason imma go.
Galaxy
Red Bulls
dont know what other team to watch.

USMNT + mourinho ?

Mourinho's children have attended the American Schools in London, Milan and Madrid. He expects they will go to college in the U.S. And therein lies an opportunity for soccer in America. "We want to be close to our kids the maximum we can," he says. "So in a few years when they go in that direction, me and my wife are going to go in the same direction. I see myself coaching a [club] team, coaching the national team or helping develop soccer in the U.S. When I'm tired of winning things in Europe, it's something I want to do. I want to coach the Portuguese national team, and I want to work in the United States."

Do the math. Matilde will be college age in four years, José Jr. in eight. The timing would set up well for Mourinho to take over the U.S. soon after, say, World Cup 2018. He already brings his teams to Los Angeles for preseason training every year. "I love it," Mourinho says of America. "The people have a very open mentality. Everybody is the same. Status doesn't count a lot. I like it very much in this way."
