Nathan,

the official explanation was that the MLS sent:

1. 2005 MLS Champs (LA)
2. 2006 MLS Champs (Hou)
3. 2006 East Conf Reg Season Champ (DC)
4. 2006 West Conf Reg Season Champ (FCD)

And while we all know that LA had to play this tournament for DB reasons, New England didn’t get robbed nearly as bad as Chicago and their 2006 US Open Cup title.

The burning question on my mind is why LA were in the tournament in the first place.. logic says it should have been New England.

BOFA,

You are overthinking it. When Pachuca beats LA they will have beaten every team they played except in this tournament except Dallas (1-1 tie, remember?).

Sure they lost to LA once, but that does not invalidate my statement. They still beat Chivas, Houston, and they will beat LA; therefore beating every team they played except Dalllas.

I guess I can add an addendum to the FCD SUper Liga consolation thought for FCD fans. If by some miracle LA wins, Dallas scored 5 on them.

“The consolation for FCD fans will have to be being able to claim that they were the only team that played the superliga champions Pachuca, and didn’t lose to them. ”

How is that consolation? Chivas de Guad. lost to Pachuca and you are picking LA to lose to them. I really don’t understand your statement.

This is one time I am cheering for the Mexican team in Superliga — I REALLY don’t want LA to win. Go, Pachuca!
