North Meets South - Cross Border Competition Announced

The Fire and Club America have agreed to hold an annual home-and-home competition between the two clubs for a-yet-to-be-named cup. The games would be at Toyota Park (obviously) and Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. No rules yet on tie breakers, etc.

Bonus Game Anyone!

I think this is a fantastic idea! Certainly, for us it is. Will it be as popular in Mexico once Temo retires or leaves Chicago, um, probably not. But, who knows how long Temo will stay and who will replace him.

Now the only questions is, what will we name the Cup? We already compete for the Brimstone Cup with FC Dallas (made more sense when they were called the Dallas Burn). What's a good name for a cup between Club America and the Chicago Fire? (ps - Club America are "The Eagles" or "Las Aguilas")

Copa America
Copa del Norte
The Green Card Cup
Two Eagles Cup
Copa de las Aguilas
The New World Cup

Got any ideas? Post them in the comments section...
