Great goal to level. Really hoping the Timbers can get another. They look like the better team.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I, for one, would be happy to draw Obscure Guatemalan Team in the QFs instead of the reigning Supporters' Shield champions (or, God forbid, UNAM.)

I have some bad news for you: Dallas isn't fuckin up anymore. On the other hand, UNAM still have to win tonight to make it through to the next round (they will definitely win tonight, though).

I think Pumas can get through with a draw - they have the tiebreaker over Progreso - but if they have to go through I want them to win (since a win means they get the 5 seed and whoever wins your group will most likely get the 8 seed (the goal-difference tiebreakers against Saprissa/NYRB do not favour either of you even if this game has a winner).

Luckily for me Pumas are going to win.

excuse me I think you'll find my bad team is the easiest draw (and somehow the top seed because the rest of our group was somehow EVEN WORSE and let us run up a perfect group record)

UNAM massacred W Connection after I went to bed, and now the quarterfinal matchups are set:



I think that if Vancouver and Dallas win it would guarantee and MLS team in the finals, since they would play each other in the semis due to seeding. Ok this is not correct for some reason. The winner of Vancouver/NYRB will play the winner of UNAM/Tigres, and the winner of Dallas/Arabe Unido plays the winner of Pachuca/Saprissa.

I don't want any CR team to win it. I hate Saprissa, dislike LDA, Cartagines won't make it any time soon and I think it's hilarious that Herediano are the only one of the "big four" who haven't won this. Any other team in this joke league is very unlikely to make it, but if they do I will be happy if they do well, not the big four though.

No, I supported my local team Municipal Goicoechea when I was young but they were relegated to the second and then third division and finally folded like 15 years ago.

I trained (but never played) in their u17 squad but got kicked out for being late to practice and getting caught smoking outside the stadium, basically for being a dumbass teenager.

MLS teams have only won the CCL twice, and that was before it was a league format. Before the 2008-09 season, it was an eight-team knockout tournament, and even then one of the MLS teams that won never played a game against a Mexican team. Apart from the '98 Black-and-Red, there have been no good American teams ever.

No MLS team has ever won the CCL, because before 08 it was called the Champion's Cup! And as you rightly point out, the Champion's Cup was not a league, but a tournament.

CONCACAF Champions League format to change, so that the US, Mexico, and Canada go directly to a knockout stage.

e: Also, the qualifying stage is a tournament as well. Not much of a League, now, is it?

Wow, that actually all seems really cool and good, except for the February - May schedule since MLS teams will still be in preseason mode for part of it. Even March - June would have been way better. But overall it's a huge improvement, I think.

I like the new format. Hopefully a CR team wins phase one a few times and they give us another spot on phase two.
