RJB Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Since MLS owns every club in the league(51% of each club, right?) are they breaking any rules of FIFA's by having more than one club in the same continental competition? Does FIFA have rules preventing this from happening? Or maybe that's only UEFA? Either way, what kind of ethical problems does this create in the games? I personally think that it's not right, however, given that MLS is a league and not an idividual as well as the fact that they own only a portion of the club, it makes me certain that nothing bad could happen. But what if Chivas USA were to meet the original Chivas, who if I'm not mistaken have the same owners? If Chivas winning over Chivas USA means 5X more profits, then would that owner try to make that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSamurai Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Can't answer, but Chivas Vs. Chivas would be awesome. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_AM_CANADIAN Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 How about the president of CONCACAF owning a team, ala Jack Warner with Joe Public FC? That shouldn't be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb of Mtl Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 CONCACAF is probably the worst sporting organization in the world. CONCACAF should translate to bulls**t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bxl Boy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'd love a groupe with Chivas / Chivas USA and Joe Public I'm sure we can find a fourth team to make it more Concacafesque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else in the world do you have a three-team round-robin tournament in the middle of the club's regular seasons (in foreign championships) to determine the national champion? That's as CONCACAF as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
