Now they're saying that indeed this is what was formerly known as the CONCACAF Champions Cup is not the much talked about, anticipated and hoped for MLS-MFL Superleague.

CONCACAF Champions League: Featuring a combination of teams from the Mexican League, MLS, Central America, and the Caribbean, with the winner
advancing to the FIFA Club World Championship in December.

Formerly known as the CONCACAF Champions Cup (Copa de Campeones),
the 2007 CONCACAF Champions League will feature a group stage
prior to the elimination rounds.

It's nice to see that it is taking place starting in July. Now MLS finally has a fighting chance.

Unlike the current CONCACAF Champions Cup which is an eight team single elimination format, the note of 33 matches indicates there would be some type of group stage (maybe 4 groups of 4 teams, six matches per group home & away with most televised) followed by a knockout round between the top two teams from each group. Many feel this would be a very good thing for CONCACAF as a whole and the MLS since many figure at least 2 or 3 MLS teams would make it.

It’s A MLS-Mexico Tournament, Not CONCACAF
