I literally have no idea where he was going with the statement he made. It didn't make too much sense to me.

Oh, and Real Madrid, too.

I don't think anyone is claiming this was an epic win for MLS. Not getting embarassed was the real goal. I don't think there is anything wrong with saying they are "arguably" the best. Yes, you're listing other teams that all could also be considered "arguably" the best. What are the announcers supposed to do?
Not hype the matchup?

The commish said 14 teams by 2008 at halftime, so I expect there will just be one larger conference next year before being evened out in 2008. I'd love to see them move to just one table eventually, but i'm not sure it'll ever happen in the US.
