With the conclusion of the CONCACAF Champions League round robin phase, two MLS teams reached the quarter finals. That is not the maximum desirable with four MLS teams in the contest, but it is the first time two MLS teams made it through to the knock out stage.
If the MLS ever wants to establish itself as a top professional League in this part of the world
(meaning CONCACAF) it will have to come up with some convincing scores in the round-robin group play of the Champions League.
After being fortunate enough to have covered 13 games at this World Cup I am off to hang with the fans for one great last night of camaraderie, drinks, and of course, plenty of World Cup banter. Not a bad way to end it all.
As expected, the vibe was definitely bumping in Cape Town when the Dutch beat Uruguay the other night.
I have a tendency to stay awake the night before vital matches contemplating lineups and formations, replaying highlights in my head, and really just enjoying the anticipation of the next game.
Soldiers from the north dressed in white and black, some in lederhosen, have flown in while their enemies from South America, donning baby blue and white, have infiltrated Cape Town ready for an all out battle of epic proportions.
