2018 CONCACAF Champions League Thread

What is it with people accusing those with different views/opinions from their own of trolling?

Just say you disagree and come up with your own arguments. Accusing of trolling doesn't make you sound clever, quite the opposite

 

On Chivas taking TFC seriously

Meanwhile, in Tijuana Friday night, Chivas plotted a lineup that included four prospects whose roster numbers on their backs were 302, 208, 287 and 296. The result: A similar 3-0 loss to Xolos that surprised nobody given Guadalajara – like Toronto FC – hasn’t tried to hide the fact they’re all-in for CONCACAF glory.

 

wish I could agree. not sure how much not resting our starters against Necaxa speaks to Piojo's hubris, but he displayed an absolutely awful attitude before the first leg against TFC...





...saying MLS aspires to compete with our league, while we're busy matching up against european leagues, and incessantly complaining about referees both legs.

 

Watch the games before you come up with this dumbass analysis. Tijuana should have scored 5 at home and had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside. The Red Bulls got lucky in the first leg and were able to close it out easily in the second leg as a result. I'm a biased fan and I'm saying this. Do better.

I don't know what it is about this thread but my God it's bringing out some absolute morons.

 

Yeah you're right. The point of the game is to almost score 5 goals in one of the legs. That's how we determine the better teams. Gtfo of here, !!!!!

 

Just going to stroll in here and suggest people dial it back a bit.

Thanks!

 

The time-wasting in Toronto is going to be epic.

Chivas are the ultimate masters of the Dark Arts. They can reduce 90 minutes of game to 10 minutes of actual play.

You guys have no idea.

 

I was responding to

"do you think the champion of a top heavy league in Europe is going to average a 1ppg in their first 3?"

And I gave examples of Premier League teams that has stuttered at the start of their league campaign and gone on to win the title. So yes, it's quite possible

 

What's the injury situation at TFC?

On Friday MLS reported this ahead of the Colorado match:

OUT: D - Nick Hagglund (hamstring injury)
OUT: F - Jozy Altidore (foot injury)
QUESTIONABLE: D - Justin Morrow (calf strain)

 

Jozy Altidore is now "probable" according to Vanney. Bruised bone he said....regarding Jozy

I don't think they need Hagglund and surprisingly, Morgan has been doing the job to the point that he might have earned a 2nd look on the national team

 

He's a very angry man.

 

It’s actually quite nice to see. This competition actually matters to these teams. As we know, it wasn’t always like this. Sets up a no-excuses final. This is real, folks.

 

Being a whiny ninny-baby is probably a sure sign that an ego driven twit like Herrera did take it seriously.

 

Mother Nature messing with Mexican teams again. Fore casted high of 40 and low of 36. And a bit of rain.

It's been raining a lot in toronto area last week and this weekend.

 

About time we truly make it hard on visitors to beat us at home. If only Montreal had use Stade Saputo instead of Olympic stadium when they played America, the results could have been different

 

Yup. That might play into Chivas’ hands a bit.

 

But wait, I was told a wet turf speeds the game up!

 

Lets be real. The motivation for Chivas not to be the first Mexican team to lose is much greater than the motivation for TFC to be the first MLS team to win

If that makes sense.

 

Well to be fair, this thread should now be moved to the Ultralight Canadian Championship thread (or is it the Anway CC?)

Will we see a sellout at BMO field? I know conditions are imperfect, but I would think an MLS Cup would sellout under any circumstances...

 

Raptors are playing at the same time. Not sure...
