[El Buki]

La Confederación Sudamericana de Futbol (CSF) admitió este jueves la presencia de dos equipos de México y otro de Centroamérica en la próxima edición de la Copa Sudamericana, anunció el presidente del organismo, Nicolás Leoz.

"En la Copa Sudamericana (torneo del segundo semestre del año) participarán dos equipos mexicanos más uno de la Concacaf", afirmó Leoz tras una reunión ejecutiva realizada en Asunción, al explicar que la tercera plaza deberá definir el organismo que rige el futbol en Centroamérica.

very interesting...

[Rusty_Shackleford]

is the "más uno de la Concacaf" the runner up of the CCC, or will they choose a team from central america?

[G D L]

very interesting...

on the conmebol site it specifically says that it will be a Costa Rican team...

Además, se resolvió la incorporación de equipos de la CONCACAF -dos clubes de México y uno de Costa Rica- por lo que la Copa Sudamericana tendrá un nuevo atractivo...

Maybe they are doing this just for one reason> they assume that Pumas is gonna win the CCC, so Saprissa will be the invited team. I wanna see if they change their rules after the CCC is decided

This is very interesting. I hope that the Mexicans and the Central America team(Costa Rican team maybe) does well and shows that soccer is also played well in the Concacaf region.

maybe

but im thinking perhaps they saw how good costa rican clubs have done in the CCC recently. im sure that has something to do with it

it might not even be saprissa, could be whoever is the league champion this year(forgive me if that is indeed saprissa...i dont follow the tico league that much).

at least it's not an mls team, you have that to be happy about.

happy, not really....i rather have a good organized CCC., anyway i feel copasuramericana should be only for southamerican teams.
If someday they decide to invite us to Libertadores, it would be very different, i'll love to see Saprissa playing the libertadores, but i am not very excited about the Nissansouthamericana

copa sudamericana for south america but not the libertadores?...if we see it that way concacaf teams shouldn't be playing neither of them..we should be glad teams are starting to get invited to this tournaments...

Correct neither of them
But i consider Libertadores as a better tournament

[G D L]

so since Pumas lost, will it be 3 mexicans in sudamericana? whom?

[MoRado]

Seems that Heredia will be the cr'n representative, no alajuela, no Saprissa, this could be the stupidiest thing ever of the CR'n fed.

well, i just heard in foX sports that Saprissa has the first invitation, if we decline, alajuela would have it, and if they decline, it would be heredia

I just hope Saprisssa goes

[MoRado]

Just got informed in the Saprissa forum that this team will represent Concacaf

Deportivo Saprissa -> Costa Rica
Pumas -> México
América -> México

I'll love to play Pumas again

[CheveLoco]

well America won this season and they are playing well so i think they derserve to be there..but not Pumas again please, that team is not gonna do anything good and it's gonna be another big disappointment...

Congrats. Hope you do well...

[MoRado]

Congrats. Hope you do well...

Well nothing is official yet, i am watching the sudamericana team draw in FoX sports and they said, a concacaf team, they did not mention Saprissa or any other costarican team, so we'll just have to wait

[rafamd]

lamentablemente esto no es del todo cierto, todavia no se sabe nada, como siempre la concacaf nos jugo muy sucio la conmebol paso la invitacion de saprissa a la concacaf y estos debian ratificarla pero no lo hicieron, ahora parece que puede ser cualquiera.

Now Saprissa is not going because the concacaf idiots are saying that Saprissa is going to the world cup, so they rather send a team from guatemala or honduras, this guys are just too stupid, Conmebol invited Saprissa, and we obiously accepted, but we cant go because concacaf doesn't want it.
