Seitz was awful.
The Dallas game was a frustrating loss, but we are trying to judge our progress against Liga MX in such small samples. I wanted a better CCL format, but considering we got just a short knockout tournament, I'm ready to hear about the rumored new MLS-Liga MX competition.
I wouldn't mind a simple MLS-Liga MX challenge format, where the top 18 MLS teams face off against the same-placed Liga MX team in a two-leg matchup. Whichever league wins more matchups, wins the trophy for their league.
For example, if it was this year, take the five weeks between the Open Cup Semifinals (August 8-9) and the Final (Sept 20) and play out these matchups:

Houston (19th) and Chicago (20th) wouldn't qualify. Or, you could dip down to the Mexican 2nd division to let all MLS teams participate.
This would be some epic mid-week soccer. Also fits a ton of great soccer into mid-week games just as the NFL is ramping up, hopefully keeping some eyes tuned in.
