Starting XI
havin MLS teams play teams from Europe is something id like to see, but in friendlies, MLS teams in Libertadores, like Mexican teams do, isnt a bad idea.

I'm just curious, as both a football fan and an American, what many of you think of perhaps admitting the top teams in the American MLS into the Champions league each year.
I understand there are some problems with this:
A) Travel
That damned Atlantic is kind of big
The difference on what time of year the leagues Begin and End.
If i understand correctly, the Group stage of the CL begins about the same time that the MLS league is wrapping up, thereby providing some of the American teams with no other matches that week than the ones in the CL
Again, this is all hypothetical, but i think it can be said that the standard for MLS teams is rising, and in a few years I could see the MLS gaining parity with maybe the English Division 1.
So, what do you all think? Yanks in the Champions league?

However, in the future, i think it might be a good idea to start a tournament for club teams from all over the world to compete

Good Idée, but wait 20 years or something.
You need time to reach that level.=)

Mate, their is a reason why it is called the EUROPEAN CUP, even in 20-25 years you wont see it happen, it's like saying Brazil and Argentina should be in Euro 2004, that defeats the object of the competition. It's a European based competition and has no room for any team outside of Europe. Besides if MLS teams did compete in the CL, i guarantee they wont be doing no Porto, they would get thumped every match.
Another thing to consider, it 100% WONT happen because of the travelling from Europe to USA, for that reason alone, with a conjested fixture list, it will never happen. Stupid idea, that has too many implications.
