And easier for the Euros to play in - considering that the MLSers won't be
up to speed, this will be vital.  (then again, we play Mexico four days
earlier in Mexico - how much traveling to we want to do?)

I like it.  KC is also a good choice.  Then again, if Chicago is going to
get a game this round (and no reason to think they shouldn't), this would be
a good choice.

Mmmmm - Dallas, HDC are also good choices here - maybe not as strong a "HFA"
as Denver might be, but how good is the crowd going to be?

This is a no brainer.

No Frisco?  I think not.  Hunt paid for the SSS - we get a WCQ.  Period.

My thoughts echo Dan's - G in Boston, CR in City (although Portland is also
a good choice), Mexico in C-bus, T&T in HDC and Panama in Dallas.
