Not so sure about that anymore, Dallas Cup has been losing the prestige over the years. We no longer have powerhouses from Brazil, Argentina, Europe, nowadays only 2nd tier or even lower from such countries are interested. One or two ok International sides are coming, the rest is pure garbage. Look all the Dallas Cup brackets, a bunch of rec teams that we never heard about it, plus agents teams "Sport Consultants", plus the Mexican clubs from always (Tigres, Monterey) and a few 2nd or 4th division teams from South America. The brackets at Galaxy Cup are lame indeed, however only the 04's and 03's seems to have better level clubs than the entire Dallas Cup this year.
Regardless of age group or your opinion, how many teams do you believe if given a choice to attend Dallas Cup versus LAG Cup, they would pick LAG Cup over Dallas Cup?
Did you look at all ages or just 03~04?
Man U, Red Bull Brazil, Liverpool and so on in other ages.

.....some of the best teams in the nation are playing in OC this weekend, not Dallas, especially on 04, 03 brackets.
It is hosted by LAG but LAGSB tourney director is part of the group managing it.I thought this tournament was hosted by LA Galaxy...but it is hosted by LAG South Bay.. that explains why they couldn’t bring top teams in most age groups..
Red Bull Brasil is from the 4th division and Vitoria from the 2nd. Where are the Brazilian Corinthians, Santos, Sao Paulo, Flamengo, or Argentinian Boca and River? In only one age in Galaxy we have Porto, Manchester, Swansea, Mexican teams and MLS Academies other than Galaxy (In Dallas there are Dallas FC this, Dallas FC that, 4 Dallas teams on the same bracket playing vs AC Brea, Fullerton Rangers, Sport Consultants...come on. Today clubs and parents will play Dallas Cup because of the propaganda, like Surf Cup, not because of the quality of the tournament. But doesn't mean Dallas is better. Things are changing despite the propaganda, some of the best teams in the nation are playing in OC this weekend, not Dallas, especially on 04, 03 brackets.
