Tempete just won the league it is not allowed that should have been Baltmore and Cavaly's chance but they were eliminated ...remember the baltimore tragedie.....tempete will have it chance next spring
Guys this is the sure route for our players to get contracts in the MLS, Mexican League and beyond. This opportunity comes every single year.
If Baltimore can't step up and defeat Jamaica and Trinidad on the League level, our players don't deserve to be looked at. The CONCACAF Cup Champion gets to play in the FIFA Club World Cup against the likes of Manchester United, Barcelona...
