The response to the CONCACAF refs (again) overlooking an obvious red card, to bring in Pulisic, and then have him score, is a top 3 USMNT moment for me

After getting the home win Friday, I was fine with a road draw tonight, but it seems that is not the consensus.

MLS 

Round 1 of the playoffs runs from Saturday to Tuesday.





...and in the middle of it all you have the Canadian Championship with Toronto @ Montreal for a 2022 Champions League bid.

Is it arbitrary who winds up playing for the Canadian clubs, considering it's all the same league?  Do they have first shot at eligible Canadians?

Champions League is only concerned with what country the clubs are in, not the Nationality of the players. 

MLS players come from all over the place.

Right, but most leagues have all of their teams in their county.  It's kind of weird to have MLS teams in Canada.  Like if the EPL had one Scottish team, I imagine that club would always qualify for UEFA Champions League as the Scottish rep.  I would assume it would be league based, not country the team happens to be located in based.

MLS is uniquely situated in that it spans two countries.

My theory is that the MLS will continue to quietly expand until they have 33 clubs, at which point the Canadian teams will split off and the USA teams will be divided up into two 15-club divisions that practice promotion and relegation. I suspect that the CPL was created to be the eventual landing spot for the Canadian MLS clubs, which would explain why they get such favorable Champions League qualification opportunities not enjoyed by the USL.

I don't have any evidence of this wild conspiracy theory that I've concocted, but the shoe certainly fits.

I know Pittsburgh built its stadium in a manner that it can be easily expanded to meet MLS standards.  I larger promotion/relegation league would help with that
