they should play the group stages in the US, but travel for the knockouts with higher seed getting the home game. that would make it better and save travel costs/burden for everyone while making it more fair and give the group stages a bit more meaning.

But if they did that, MLS wouldn't appear to be at the level of Liga MX. The non-money making part of this tournament is making it look like MLS is improving and at Liga MX's level.
I think the non-money part is both leagues marketing to Mexican ex-pats in the US. LMX wants to retain those fans and MLS wants to attract them, and apparently they believe it's a win-win.
I disagree. MLS has competed very well with Liga MX over the last few years.
Thinking about your "clean our clocks" line, I went over MLS-Liga MX games in CCL over the past few years to see how many wins each side had by 2+ goals. Last year, there weren't any wins like that. In 2022, MLS teams won 4 times by that margin compared to 1 for Liga MX. Over the last six years, the tally is 11 for MLS and 15 for Liga MX.
I caught the second half last night and it was very entertaining.
yea. crew are repping MLS so well. shame the rest of the MLS teams were just terrible. nancy has done an incredible job with the crew. he's definitely going to europe at some point.
what makes it all the sweeter that the crew look to be advancing is the disrespect from the monterrey coach.. refusing to shake nancy's after the first leg.

crew are looking out of it. pachuca are definitely making it difficult for them and the individual quality is shining through.
i'm sure playing at a non-neutral location and the insane altitude isn't helping either.
hopefully the crew get it together and turn things around in the 2nd half.

Not happening, sad.
yea. they look exhausted and clumsy.
Ouch. Well that would explain why they looked so lethargic.

That Mexican water will get you every time.
As someone who got sick twice in two different locations over two weeks, this rings too true.
