United States Of America - Soccer fans across the country called out for the formation of a nationwide Intra-League cup competition after watching the exciting Canadian Championship game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Pacific FC.

“We could model it after the Canadian Championship and have teams from different leagues play in it,” stated one soccer fan from El Paso.

“It could be the biggest thing in the United States…. like March Madness but with amateur teams taking on professional teams,” stated a soccer fan from Chicago.

Sources indicate that fans across the nation started a petition to the governing bodies of the game to try to bring them to the table to negotiate for a cup tournament that would showcase all the levels of soccer in the United States.

“Can you imagine the Seattle Sounders having to travel to Madison to take on Forward Madison in front of a packed stadium,” stated one anonymous league source. “It’s BRILLIANT! We could have all of this compressed into a tight time frame like the NCAA basketball tournament! People would tune in to watch the giant killers take on the professional teams in front of their own home crowds!”

For their part, the television networks indicated their tepid interest in the idea with ESPN stating that they had a third tier streaming option that would allow people to view 39% of the games if they also sign up for a $400 television service that live streams Skip Bayless into their home at all times.
