in the quarterfinal stage of the region's most important tournament.

I've read a great deal about perceived MLS failures in CONCACAF over the last week. As many of
our readers know, I am not defender or apologist for MLS. But, calling two loses to FMF sides,"
failures" again show many MLS fans live in an alternate reality. If anything Columbus and DC United
should be applauded for competing against the best this hemisphere has to offer.

How could the USL outwit, outplay & outlast the MLS in the 2008-09 CONCACAF
Champions League?
The answer is simple!
The level of play in the USL (as an alternative league) is
closer to that of the MLS, than many (in the USSF and MLS) would like to admit
to.
Click to continue reading...
At least, that should be the prevailing sentiment, shouldn't it?
Every time a USL team somewhere upends an MLS team, as Puerto Rico did to Toronto FC in the
CONCACAF Champions League first round, we hear about how the USL is awesome and MLS is a fledgling
Sunday kegger league that's on par with the Midland Football Alliance.

MLS Daily 31 July @ 01:31 PM EST
The underwhelming start for MLS teams in the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League has to remind some
fans of last season's poor showing, when Chivas USA was eliminated by Panamanian side Tauro FC and
Joe Public embarrassed the New England Revolution. With Toronto FC, DC United, and the New York Red
Bulls all failing to pick up wins in the opening leg of the competition's preliminary round, all
three could easily see their Champions League hopes dashed by this time next week.

The CONCACAF Champions League is now, officially, the only important competition left for these
cellar dwelling Red Bulls to play. In their way stands five time TnT Champions W Connection, who
have overrun Joe Public as the premier squad out of the small Island Nation.
The Bulls will not be able to overlook their opponents, as most opponents have had the tendency
to overlook them.

It is that time again. Late July into the start of August. For a few Major League Soccer clubs
it means their schedule is about to get a little more jammed. Columbus and Houston have to wait to
find out who is in their groups for CONCACAF Champions League play while New York and DC United
begin their quest to save face for the league in the play-in rounds tonight (DC) and on Thursday
(NY).

Regular readers of The Yorkies' site know that one of our aims is to shed light on the fairly poor
coverage of Toronto FC in the local mainstream media. In order to illustrate this, and positive
coverage as well, we are set to unveil The Yorkies'
"TFC Media League".
The league will be a year-long tally featuring local media outlets vying to win the prestigious
Graham Leggat Trophy named for the Scottish pioneer of Canadian football broadcasting.

My father used to travel to Charlton games on the same bus as the players, but these days
footballers are remote from their fans, secure within luxury cars and behind high gates of
exclusive residences.So when one of these demi-gods descends from Mount Olympus to talk to Joe
Public in the street, it makes headlines.

Ah, September. We hardly knew ye.
It was a month filled with pressure (two must win-matches), promise (CONCACAF Champions League),
and putrid performances. It opened with a stunning 4-0 Revolution loss to Joe Public FC, which was
duly followed by another 4-0 loss to the Columbus Crew. Within five days, the Revs gave up a total
of eight goals.

Champions League play resumed yesterday with three goups in action. In United's Group A, Cruz
Azul thrashed Saprissa 4-0. The Black-and-Red will look to earn points tonight on the road against
Honduran side Marathon. The game will be shown live on Fox Soccer Channel at 10 p.m. ET.
The other MLS representative, the Houston Dynamo, played a scoreless draw with Panama's San
Francisco to earn a road point.

Cruz Azul hosts Saprissa in what is probably the best game of this round tonight. The other Group A
game is tomorrow night as DC travels to Honduras to face Marathon. I hope their defense learns how
to stop a counterattack between now and then, otherwise the Green Monster is going to kill
them...
Houston makes their debut in the group stage, traveling to Panama to face San Francisco.

themselves atop Group C along with Impact de Montreal. Read the full report over at

- Montreal continued the USL's domination of this competition. Okay, that's overblown, but what

opening matches over teams that dispatched MLS teams in the qualifying round.

Manchester United that for many in Los Angeles the most important game of the week does not involve
the Galaxy or Chivas USA, but today's 11:30 a.m. game on ESPN2 that has the Red Devils facing Jozy
