Well today CONCACAF announced the group stage draws for the 2010/2011 Champions league:

RSL will be in Group A, facing Arabe Unido of Panama, the winner of Cruz Azul of Mexico vs. San Francisco also of Panama, and the winner of whoever ends up representing Canada vs. Motagua of Honduras.

Those preliminary matches will start between July 27th and 29th with the first legs, and complete a week later. The group stage starts August 17th with each team in a group facing the other teams in both home and away matches.

So we could see RSL vs. Toronto or Vancouver as one of the matches (hmm I wonder if this would work with a Seattle road trip if Vancouver wins?). Either way based on the teams that are in our group RSL should be able to advance out of this group as one of the top two teams.

I’ve been waiting and hoping since november that we might draw an opponent that played in a city worthwhile of my summer vacation. I think Colon Panama just might be the place.

Vancouver

Not only a great city, but you can probably get all kinds of winter Olympic stuff at huge close out discounts.
