    Tigres and Santos have already qualified. Does anyone know what will happen if these two are in the finals again? Who will take the remaining spots?

    I'm guessing both semi-finalists make it? Bahahaha....yet again, that wouldn't be fair to last season's semi-finalists...hmm....

    We don't have a set answer yet, but the precedent from Central America suggests that the top two finishers in the full-year table among the four losing semifinalists only would get the remaining spots.

    Another strange consequence of a Tigres-Santos repeat final is that Santos would automatically get Mexico's other top seed, whether or not they win.

    Apparently the year the Dynamo are playing, El Salvador gets 3 spots as opposed to two. Belize has gotten a place taken away.

    i just want to compliment you on your translation. that's some skills you got.

    i cringe when i see a google translate on here or when some SSL (Spanish as a Second Language) dude that speaks 'moch' botches the meaning. lol.

    those are some serious teams. we must make the quarters!

    I could have done a better job. I never had "formal" Spanish lessons when it comes to reading and writing. My parents didn't even teach me. I had to kind of get it on my own. They spoke nothing but Spanish so that really helped. I try to do what I can.

    For the record Google Translate says,

    It has actually improved. I use it for Portuguese and when there's a weird word in French I was never introduced to...lol

    holy Kaka!

    i thought the second leg of Santos-Tigres semi-final was just a formality since Santos was going home with a 1-1 aggregate, but Tigres just scored in the 6th minute. 84 minutes of pure attacking "should" follow.

    yup.

    watching on the usual site (direct red <=== en espanol).

    Santos attacking with 9*, Tigres defending with 11. LOL.

    *which means they're some open spaces to exploit if a ball can be poked through.

    Tigres are looking too strong today.

    I saw a Voit football like the one they use, but with orange and white panels. It was a Mexican Primera Division match that was using it. I definantely need to get it.

    tied again on the aggregate 3 - 3. Santos tied it with goals in the 87th and 89th. they advance if it stands.

    Tigres just got Montreal-Impacted. i've said it before, Darwin Quintero for Dynamo DP.

    Quintero would be amazing. Could we realistically get him?

    logistical question-which sleeve does the CCL patch go on-I always thought it was the one with the flag but then I found pics of Toronto with their Canadian flags still on the sleeve.
    I picked up some CCL patches and don't want to put them on the wrong sleeve-didn't we used to put them on the left (American flag) sleeve when we were in it before?

    No. I'm waiting to get my 2012 jersey. Can't decide what name to put on it.
