There has been talk of some sort of pan-american competition for a while now, but nothing has ever materialised. I would be very surprised if US teams would be invited as the logistics are too great. Add in, that Mexican teams rarely took the competition too seriously as they couldn't enter the CWC through this route and they had their own Libertadores - same would hold for US teams.

As of now the two teams I have been impressed by most have been Cerro Porteno and Internacional (that will cheer up bluetonic :D). The problem, though, is the upcoming transfer window. Most clubs could lose key players just as the knockout stage is about to begin. That being the case I'd say a Brazilian club would be favourite this year.

I will add, I haven't seen a lot of the other Brazilian teams so the above is more of an (un)educated guess.

Interesting. Just another demonstration of just how different the economics of the fans are so different in South America.
