Superliga 2010: Resi noti i roster delle otto squadre

La quarta edizione della Superliga è ormai prossima al debutto, il torneo in cui si confrontano i team della Major League Soccer e quelli della Liga Messicana. Si partirà il 14 luglio con le otto formazioni partecipanti suddivise su due gironi di quattro equamente suddivisi tra americane e messicane.

La MLS ha eletto le sue rappresentanti in: Chicago Fire, New England Revolution, Chivas Usa, e Houston Dynamo, ciò in considerazione della classifica della regular season con esclusione dei team qualificati alla Concacaf Champions League

Dal Messico arriveranno Monarcas Morelia, Pachuca, Puebla FC e Pumas UNAM, anche qui avendo escluso le prossime partecipanti alla CCL e tenendo conto della classifica dei tornei di Apertura e Clausura 2009.

Le squadre sono state divise in due gironi, e le migliori poi s'incrocieranno nelle semifinali:
Gruppo A: Chivas Usa, Houston Dynamo, Pachuca, Puebla;
Gruppo B: Chicago Fire, Monarcas Morelia, New England Revolution, Unam Pumas;
