Possum Jenkins, what say you? Will Union be able to carry all of United States of America on their backs?

Or will Club América (and México) be too much for them?

@Possum Jenkins

America has to be the heavy favorite, man.

They're 2nd in the Mexican league table and are having a great year. If the Union were playing a mid-table or lower team (like Leon), they'd have a better shot.

Which is a shame because these same-country finals are boring.

No matter what happens this year, Philadelphia Union have already done so well. They should be really happy about going so far.

Also, Club América are way, WAY older than Philadelphia Union (obviously).

Club América are over 100 years old. They started in the year 1916.

Philadelphia Union started in the year 2010.

Club América 4-0 Philadelphia Union

Club América eliminated Philadelphia Union.

It seemed like Club América were always in control of this series. I was rooting for Union (and I still am), but they were really outclassed in this series.

Club América advance to the Final of the Champions League.

In this series, Club Monterrey had way too much firepower for Cruz Azul. There were times when it seemed like Club Monterrey could score at will.

This year, the clubs from México showed their amazing power (once again).

Philadelphia Union had some wonderful performances in this edition of the Champions League. However, they didn't do enough to eliminate Club América.

No matter what the results are, I'll always be really excited to watch every single edition of the Champions League.
