Chivas-America Clasico in Copa MX just what tournament needs

Over to you, Chivas.

Club America fulfilled its duty, knocking off manager Ricardo La Volpe's former charges 3-2 in a Copa MX quarterfinal. Chivas takes on second-division Alebrijes de Oaxaca on Wednesday, and with a win the Guadalajara side would set up a Clasico Nacional in the semifinal.

That kind of game, one that would draw attention across North America as Mexico's two most successful and popular teams clash, is exactly what the Copa MX needs. Calling the tournament a bore since it returned in 2012 is an insult to the comparatively riveting activities of waiting at the DMV and watching grass grow.
