Group predictions

yes, Concacaf does have issues, but if LA does not win then Alaju and Morelia tie with 12 points.

Head to head is the tie breaker.

They both won a game by one goal so 2 - 2 over all, but Alaju scored in Morelia so they win by the away goal rule.

 

Los Angeles won the group.

 

How does LA finish atop Morelia?

H2H is even and Morelia has more away goals, goals scored, and a better goal differential?

 

So 4 mexican teams
2 US teams
1 canadian team
1 team from El Salvador

 

I hope LA in fact tops group A, that will at least guaranteed a non-mexican team in the semifinals. Otherwise, we would (most likely) end up with an all mexican semifinals and the feeling will be just like a "jornada doble"...

 

La does finish first

So in the almost 4 years in the CCL era, Cruz Azul, Santos, and Pumas has been in it and none has won it yet

watch Morelia or Monterrey will win

 

question for ya, who has been the player of the tournament so far?

 

I would wait at least to the final... we have barely see 1 or 2 games from the mexican teams with their starters (or most of them).

With the level of play of the group stages... even Pikolin looks like a crack

 

Remember (I get this wrong also) that because 3 teams were tied for first the H2H involves all 3 teams, I think there is a post under the group A thread (what ever group LA/Morelia were in) that explains this.

Because of this:

So we have:

Alajuelense 1 - 0 LA Galaxy
Alajuelense 1 - 0 Morelia
LA Galaxy 2 - 0 Alajuelense
LA Galaxy 2 - 1 Morelia
Morelia 2 - 1 Alajuelense
Morelia 2 - 1 LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy 6 pts +1
Morelia 6 pts 0
Alajuelense 6 pts -1

Creepy, but well...

Yeah because if you went strictly head to head, Morelia beats LA, but loses to Alajuelense and LA beats Alajuelense.

And you'd still have a 3 way tie.
