Anglo-American Men's Soccer Super Cup Trophy Idea.

Anglo-American Men's Soccer Super Cup Trophy Idea.

How about a competitive football / soccer trophy between the champions of the English Premier League, and Major League Soccer?

Major League soccer involves USA and Canadian club sides.

There could be a one or two-leg annual game between the champions of the English and MLS soccer leagues.

Then trophy could be a one leg final, swapping national location each year, or always being held in the USA or Canada, to grow soccer in the USA and Canada.

The USA, Canada, and England are massive football markets, and potential football superpowers, that mostly speak English, so this would be a good idea for a highly competitive passionate football trophy.

There could even be two, or four sides, from each country, or even all top division teams from each country in the trophy.

Maybe England could enter the leading English second tier, English Championship sides if EPL sides do not want to do it?

There could be a Super Cup formula of one team from each country or even all top tier teams in a knockout cup, or group stage trophy.

People will talk about travel, but look at the trips already done in UEFA trophies, and the Australian, Chinese, North American, Russian, and India sports leagues.

Plus in men’s rugby union, there are rugby union teams that compete in a league involving clubs from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, and South Africa.

So an Anglo-American Men's Soccer Super Cup could involve games like Manchester United v  LA Galaxy, Man City v New England Revolution, Liverpool v Inter Miami, Newcastle United v New Yrk City, or Aston Villa v Toronto.

It would take advantage of the intense historic connection between England, Canada, and the USA.

If England to not want to be involved then maybe Scotland could take part in a Scottish-American Cup with big teams like Glasgow Celtic, Aberdeen. Glasgow Rangers. Hibernian, Dundee United and Heart of Midlothian.

Or other countries could play a Super Cup with the club teams from the USA. Such as teams from Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Greece, China, Japan, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, France, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Mexico, or Canada.
