Merging the Americas?: Using DC United's participation in the Copa America tournament as a launch, Frank Dell'Apa forecasts that the improving American football environment may lead to a merger of CONMEBOL and CONCACAF and sooner than that the participation of MLS sides in Western Hemisphere equivalent of Champions League.

Money and reasonably strong and durable American football programs will drive a merger that gets Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and the US into a single region. If not for World Cups, at least for something like a Champions League.
