Perhaps this has been talked about before, but it baffles me that Canadian clubs don't atleast have a chance to play in CCC qualifiers.

Is the fact that Canada doesn't have a recognized first division the reason they don't get any clubs in the competition? Even if that is the case, if clubs from St. Lucia, Suriname, Netherlands Antilles, St. Martin, Guyana and god knows what other little islands get a shot to play in CCC qualifiers, you would think some format would be devised to give the Toronto, Montreal or Vancuver a chance to play in a qualifier if not the other clubs from Canada.

Has this ever been discussed? Any chance in the future for Canadian clubs to play in qualifiers?

I apoligize if this has been discussed.

Cheers.

If we had a first division, perhaps they might want to participate in the CCC. If we had a Canadian Open Cup, perhaps the winner would be able to participate in the CCC. Another stumbling block is money. The Vancouver 86ers were drawn against a team from Bermuda in the late 80s I think (Krammerhead might be able to correct me), but I believe they pulled out because they couldn't afford it.

It was 1992. Vancouver pulled out before the first leg.

The Whitecaps could represent in the CCC. Wait... the club is on life support at the moment. We don't know yet if they will pull the plug on them.

The Impact would go. But Landry and Co. woudl like use it as a tool to promote Quebec independence.

Oh what a quandry.

[Krammerhead]

The Whitecaps are not on life support at the moment. What most people fail to realize is they don't exist at the moment. Nobody works for the team, all staff have been let go. With no owner, staff or players there is not a team.

Ridiculous. The Impact "as a tool" is more touristic than political as it falls under the Minister of Tourism and hasn't been used AT ALL to promote any kind of political cause, but as usual you have your head firmly up your ass.

The only "tool" around here is DoyleG with his ridiculous statements.

Hey come on guys. We all know that if the Montreal Impact pled in the CCC that would immediately split the country up.

LOL!

Quite wasting your breath. It's obvious these guys can't take a joke.
