And what about the MLS ? If, let's say the Chicago Fire, wins the championship, are they considered WORLD champs ?
Heh...reminds me of a British comedian doing a stand-up show in NY:

"SO! Well done, America! You're the only super power left now! All the other's've lost it! We had it, but then we lost by saying "Oh, do you think so?" towards the end of the empire. On top of that, you're also world champions at baseball! You beat all those other countries, like...um...ah....them!"

It was a lot funnier watching the show
