-------------------- It's full of delicious Mexican candy!When Europe's UEFA Champions League plays its midweek games - the world stops and takes notice. When CONCACAF Champions League gets under way - some dude named Jose might just turn up his transistor radio. Yes, this part of the world's young premier club championship has yet to capture the imagination like an Inter Milan v Barcelona would - but it's ours and we should enjoy it more. For the casual fan, more used to the UEFA brand, here are some handy differences to learn about the CONCACAF version...
11. The trophy is actually a bon-bon filled golden piñata
10. Eastern European gambling syndicates surprisingly uninterested
9. UEFA's tourney sorely misses the "Nick Garcia" factor
8. Instead of massive Heineken sponsorship - The Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man" gets to play for the club of his choice
7. Twinrix injections are mandatory
6. Same famous operatic theme song - just more maracas
5. Less Cristiano Ronaldo - more Joe Public
4. Higher percentage of matches called off due to "civil war"
3. 100% more Belize!
2. Final literally watched by dozens worldwide
1. Pesos! Pesos! Pesos!
"When I do play futbol, I choose... Cruz Azul"
