With the group stage kicking off tonight, it seemed like a good time to total things up by country.
The surprises so far:
MLS Goes Five-for-Five: All four US teams made it through to the group stage. Additionally Toronto
FC made it to the group stage and propelled Canada to the top of the list thus far.
Now that we have a couple of years of data to work with, I wanted to know if how teams qualified
for the CCL had any correlation to their success. There are four ways to qualify for the
tournament:
- Win MLS Cup
- Win the US Open Cup
- Win the Supporters Shield
- Be the MLS Cup Runner Up
If the same team fills more than one of these slots (like Columbus which won MLS Cup and the
Supporters Shield in the same year) another team gets one of the slots.
Since qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions League is by country and not by league, it's possible
for the same league to qualify teams for multiple countries. For the current 2011-12 tournament,
the USL/NASL could have qualified teams by winning the US Open Cup, the Nutrilite Canadian
Championship and through the qualifying for Caribbean teams.
I get a lot of emails and comments from people that want help getting onto an MLS team.
I have no idea what to do.
but I did a tiny bit of research and found this:
Most teams will want you (or more likely your agent) to send them your soccer resume along with
some video.

The 2011 MLS TV schedule is available. After looking at it a bit I decided to count up the
number of games each team gets on national TV. Keep in mind there are only 2 Canadian team which
might give them better chances to get more games shown on the Canadian channel.
It is no big surprise that the Galaxy top the list.

As another MLS season is upon us, so is a brand new playoff format. With the addition of
Vancouver and Portland the playoffs have expanded to 10 teams in order to keep with the stupid
tradition of sending at least half the league into the playoffs.
The playoff system does get one thing right at least - they reward the winners of the
Supporters's Shield, but just barely.
