That's always been my biggest issue with club soccer.  Obviously Euro is the higher level, but every "rooting interest" has felt forced, and didn't really stick.  My best friend when I was young, had a father who moved here from England, as a life long Aston Villa fan, so I tried that, didn't stick.  Lived in London for a summer, in a part of the city that was primarily Chelsea supporters.  Tried again, didn't stick.  MLS is much worse, and neither Detroit or Pittsburgh have a team, so that's certainly not it.

If Pittsburgh ever got an MLS team, I'd buy in a little more I think.  I've gone to a couple Pittsburgh Riverhounds games.  They are fun enough.

Pittsburgh is probably as strong a candidate to move up as anyone else. It would be cool to be able to claim that you were a fan of a team before they moved up.

have same feeling with mls and nfl. i've tried picking teams and what not. didn't stick. atl (nfl and mls), titans, greenbay (was a big fan of favre), etc. i had just given up on mls and i just watch nfl to see how bama boys are doing.

i don't know what's different about tottenham, but i picked them from the epl about 4 years ago and it stuck. big fan now. gonna try again with nashville fc to see if i can find a local-ish team to follow.

Concacaf Champions league

LAFC collected a Liga MX scalp, overcoming a 2-0 leg 1 loss to defeat Leon 3-0 in leg 2. They get another Mexican squad, Cruz Azul in round 2. 

Seattle suffered a round 1 loss to Olympia from Honduras, who will face Montreal in round 2.

The other two round 2 matches are both MLS-Liga MX, with NYCFC-UANL and Atlanta-America.

Pittsburgh doesn't have the billionaire to back them. There is not promotion in MLS, it's a millionaire paying your way in.

With the win!

Let's go Crew. Great day for the home opener. 17k of my friends showed up to watch a fun/frustrating game.
Fun casue the crew dominated the whole match playing a man up.
Frustrating casue they only capitalized on one of the many scoring opportunities.

2020 Champion's League 

It was paused during the quarterfinal round in March because of Covid, but has now been rescheduled for December. 

Bracket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_CONCACAF_Champions_League#Bracket

The format has gone from two-legged to single elimination, although three of the four quarterfinal matchups had already played the first leg, in which the second leg will be played instead of a single elimination game. 

There are 4 MLS teams (3 USA/1 Canadian), 3 Mexican teams, and one from Honduras.
