Wow, good heads-up sid. Would love to see the Puerto Rico Islanders take on a Mexican team.

[El_PoToSiNo]

What happens if Pachuca wins the Apertura??? since thay are already takinga spot does runner up take the Apertura spot?

[El Guero Naco]

If I remember correctly from when Pumas won twice, they will just hand it to one of the teams that Pachuca would have beaten in the finals.

No worries about that anymore (cough-chivas-cough). As I mentioned in the chivas concacaf thread, potential semifinal matchups (Pachuca-Houston, Chivas-DC United) also coincide with a doble jornada in Mexico (jornada 10 maybe?). Great to see the amazing job at scheduling continues to be the same.

[sidspaceman]

I don't think either of the MLS teams will be moving onto the second round. Also the double jornada might not be a problem because the Mexican teams usually don't field full strength teams until the final.

I always hope they do, just so they get crushed by mexican teams in the semi´s

If an MLS team was to go against an MFL squad in the CCC.,would it be the first time teams from these two leagues played each other in a tourney,or have they come across in a pitch before?

[sidspaceman]

Nope and MLS sides have been getting destroyed with scores of 5-0, 6-0 and so on since they moved to a home and away format.
