How many of the teams that are in the 2011-12 CCL have stadiums that hold a bigger capacity than 56,000? I ask because I also want Montreal Impacts attendance record broken. Pumas is the only mexican team that can break it. C.U. holds 75, 000 people. With Tucca Ferreti no longer coaching Pumas maybe they will take it more seriously and get the public more involved.
If Toronto qualifies and makes the quarterfinals, we'll get 60,000 in the Rogers Centre. Other than that we'll use BMO.
Seattle. 67K http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwest_Field Pumas 63K http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadil%C3%ADmpico_Universitario Toronto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Centre
If Vancouver makes it, by the time the quarter finals roll around wont BC Place be completed? I think that will be around 55K.
I'm kinda surprised Costa Rica didn't get it. Honduras about to do work this time around. Olimpia and Motagua to be in the Preliminary stages. I have a strong feeling that someone is going to be upsetted by these 2. Possibly an MLS team or FMF team.
Costa Rica's been awful in this tournament compared to Honduras. My coefficient puts Honduras second among all participants, Costa Rica's sixth.
So what time is the drawing going to happen? Or will it be one of those deals like the Gold Cup where they post the info at a certain time?
^ That's what we got...4 hours later after the 11 AM Deadline SMH. Anyways : CONCACAF Champions League Preliminary Round First Leg: July 26-28 Second Leg: August 2-4 (Teams on left host first leg) Motagua (HON) vs. Municipal (GUA) Mexican Clausura runner-up (Morelia or Pumas) vs. Caribbean club championship runner-up Isidro Metapan (SLV) vs. Caribbean club champion Santos Laguna (MEX) vs. Olimpia (HON) Alianza (SLV) vs. FC Dallas (USA) Canadian champion (Vancouver or Toronto) vs. Nicaragua qualifier (Real Esteli or Walter Ferreti) San Francisco (PAN) vs. Seattle Sounders (USA) Herediano (CRC) vs. Caribbean club championship third-place finisher More details can be found, here.
Puerto Rico Islanders and Tempête FC qualified for the preliminary round. The 3rd place will be determined on May 27 between Alpha United FC and Defence Force FC.
Glad to see Haiti get in. Hopefully they beat PR so the Islanders can knock off Morelia in the prelims.
If PR did beat Morelia, then i think it would set up a re-match with LA. I would definately want to see that one.
Well I don't see a bad game in group A. That is of course if Monarcas beat the Caribean team. Group C should have some good ones also. Which group is the one with the worst looking games B orD
CCL experts, you may now update your groups. Faña scored 2 goals in a.e.t. to lead the PR Islanders to repeat as CFU Club Champions in a 3-1 victory over Tempete.
I effing love Seattle but I find the idea of Sounders having to trek through the jungles of Guyana to Alpha United's tiny 3k seater of a ramshackle stadium kind of hilarious. I'm sure some players will come back with malaria. Dont drink the cool aid! Actually, I kid. A.U. have a sweet-ass 15k stadium built in 07. Its alot better then what San Jose or DC have; however, yeah Sea will be f**ked if they have to travel all the way to Guyana should those Alpha dogs get passed some el salvadoran team in the qualifier. Also, after what Haiti has gone through I hope Tempete makes a deep run in Concacaf CL
