    Only Salt Lake and Columbus.

    Toronto helps Montreal since they belong to Canada.

    Your anti Sounders bias is so blatant in these neutral type threads:p
    Your hate makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    Too bad TFC couldn't hold on for a win vs. RSL, if they had, all 4 groups would be VERY interesting going down to the last matchday.

    With Seattle and RSL at home, and Columbus at Joe Public, the USA could have a productive last matchday.

    The only place RSL is going to have a productive last matchday against Cruz Azul is at the box office and at the concession stand.

    My prediction is that at least 75% of the crowd will be cheering for the Maquina.

    RSL has a road game in Colorado the Saturday after the Cruz Azul game. And RSL may still be chasing the Supporter's Shield and a higher playoff spot.

    Concacaf Champions League is a bunch of "fixed" matches...Where the rich teams especially from USA and Canada pay the poor teams from Central America to drop games.

    That just fits perfectly CSA way of doing things in terms of forming their Teams,especially their Men's squads.

    LOL, dude you need to work on your trolling. There isn't enough incentive for anyone to be paying bribes to drop matches.

    Which is why there have been 4 Central American teams in the quarterfinals, and 3 from the US and Canada combined. Get outta my thread. :cool:

    Do you do any weighting based on the year? Or does each tournament weigh equally in the total? And if you don't, do you think that you should?

    Your troll-fu is weak.

    If we were so good at bribery, our domestic league would not have been won by a team from a state that is ranked 45th in per capita income.

    A team that's ranked 39th in unemployment would not have the best regular season record.

    You can see from ArsenalMetro's table in Post 79 of this topic that the three seasons are weighted equally and added. UEFA uses five years and weights them equally.
    Cruz Azul has been consistent enough to have more coefficient points than the two champions, Atlante and Pachuca, combined.

    Each tournament is officially equal, but in my head, I consider the last two the most important.

    Well, for one, even if you are right, that's 25% more than was cheering for them in Mexico, where only a mind-boggling collapse kept them from wining.

    And LA can clinch the Shield this week-end with a win (or a draw and an RSL loss, or an RSL loss). RSL can clinch second with a win at home over FCD.

    I think RSL will be locked into second by the time this game comes around.

    Well, with Colorado's win over LA, it means an RSL win in their final match, would, I believe, force LA to beat Dallas (no easy task) to win the SS.

    I think they'll rest up midweek.

    LA-RSL for SS is pretty simple.

    If they end up even on points, RSL wins the tiebreaker (goal differential). LA is one point ahead; with a win they are assured of the SS.

    RSL wins any superior result (RSL wins & LA ties; or RSL ties and LA loses).

    LA wins any equal result (both tie, both win, both lose).

    Also, Sapri- er, Costa Rica's finally proven itself to not be the worst of the Central American leagues with 2 CCL spots.

    Interesting note: If Salt Lake and Columbus get drawn against one another in the quarters, the United States coefficient will necessarily pass that of the CFU.

    Also, it is impossible for the US to pass Canada to move into third, even if RSL and Columbus win every match they're in for the rest of the tournament.

    The key is in individual quality of players being developed by those leagues.Everything else has to do with wealth and money.

    Interesting. It will be even more interesting to see how CONCACAF rationalizes keeping the US where it is for allocations. Because what you have shows that the US shouldn't get any more slots than Canada, Honduras and the CFU.

    If you round most of the coefficients, you can get to 24 teams this way:

    Mexico 5
    Honduras, Canada 3
    CFU, US, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica 2
    El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize 1

    Not that I think that's likely.

    Alright, I had to wait for the group stage to end before I could give my coefficients. Again, this appears to be what CONCACAF is using to determine slots for feds that drop out, it's not my personal choice for what should be used. So, direct all criticism to Jack Warner. ;)

    You can click on the button in those quotes to go back to those posts, there is more detailed info in them. I just didn't want to quote both entire posts because they are long.

    Well, here we go....

    2010-11
    Pts/Teams
    Mex 6/4*
    CR 2/2*
    USA 3/4*
    Carib 2/3
    Hon 2/3*
    ES 1/2
    Can 0/1
    Guat 0/2
    Panama 0/3

    Total
    Pts/Teams
    Mex 31/12*
    Carib 9/9
    Hon 6/7*
    Can 2/3
    Panama 4/7
    USA 6/12*
    CR 2/7*
    ES 1/6
    Guat 1/6
    Bel 0/1
    Nic 0/1

    There are still seven points to be won. Feds with * still have teams remaining.

    The US teams need to perform very well if they want to justify 4 slots. We'll see if CONCACAF has the balls to reduce slots for the US and CR and give them to other high performers like Honduras, the Caribbean, Canada, and Panama. It may not be an issue if Nicaragua and Belize continue to have issues with competing.


    Again, if you click on the posts that I quoted you can see that I have shown that the replacement teams that CONCACAF has chosen so far have fit exactly with these coefficients. So, VioletCrown, they are likely to base their slots on the rankings above.

    Well for the USA, you can look at the Attendance thread to see why the USA gets 4 spots and Canada gets 1. meaning MLS 5.

    My guess is CONCACAF weighs performance and attendance. Even if they don't admit it.

    Of course they do. It's not a guess. We know they have in the past.

    But let's see what they do now that they've had three years of the new format. Let's see if they live up to the promise of more integrity and putting the competition first. I'm not holding my breath.

    They may luck out if the remaining US teams do well then they could legitimately let the US keep 3 or 4 slots.

    Can't compare leagues when salary of one player in one could be a total budget for entire club in another one.
