4 things: 1. Good win for Tigres 2. LAFC depend way too much on Vela to the point that it is a much lesser team without him. 3. This was not neutral territory. This was an LAFC home field advantage despite playing in Orlando. 4. Refereeing was horrible and was waiting for someone on Tigres to get a compound fracture before calling a foul. *I haven’t seen a replay but I think LAFC’s only goal was offsides
I don't know, three decades? Don't think the drought will last that long, but the main question now is if MLS will get one before becoming a "top league" in 2022.
And since the poll is still open I just voted "yes"! 2000 LA Galaxy 2001 Club America (Giants Cup*) 2002 Pachuca 2003 Toluca 2004 Alajuelense 2005 Saprissa 2006 Club America 2007 Pachuca 2008 Pachuca 2009 Atlante 2010 Pachuca 2011 Monterrey 2012 Monterrey 2013 Monterrey 2014 Cruz Azul 2015 Club America 2016 Club America 2017 Pachuca 2018 Chivas 2019 Monterrey 2020 Tigres UANL *no Champions Cup that year
Footage from the last time a MLS team could call itself champions of CONCACAF: And yes, Univision got it wrong. It was the 2000 final (played in January 2001)
LAFC had everything in their favor from their win against Club Leon to the the final. 1. vs Club Leon without Mena or Campbell 2. Home advantage playing in the USA the entire CCL tournament and with all of their arsenal (players etc.) and no home/away legs (massive, massive advantage to the USA teams) 3. vs Cruz Azul: with no coach, demoralized and without Chuy Corona or Cabecita Rodriguez. A GIFT goal when Vela dives and stretches his leg out to touch Jurado (Cruz Azul’s GK) 4. vs Club America with no coach, no Henry Martin and their run should have stopped there if not for basic errors by Cáceres 5. vs Tigres: referee on their side (ref was waiting for someone on Tigres side to get a compound fracture before issuing a yellow card to LAFC), offside goal, home advantage Talk about all the stars being lined up and STILL Tigres is a good team. LAFC is not a decent team without Carlos Véla. They depend way too much on him.
Oh and also. How convenient that it switches to a one game winner advances after Club Leon. If the format is implemented in a fair and consistent manner, then LAFC is out after the 2-0 loss to Club León.
CONCACAF Champions cup and CONCACAF Champions League titles : Mexico - 35 Costa Rica - 6 USA - 2 It’s pretty close.
We gonna just ignore the gift PK the ref gave Cruz Azul, and the clear penalty he ignored against Tigres? CONCACAF gonna CONCACAF.
Nah. How convenient that the format gets changed to 1 game and winner advances. Retroactively apply the rule changes in a fair and consistent manner and LAFC is out after the 2-0 loss to Club León.
The worldwide pandemic is a hoax engineered by the Chinese the Democrats the Rothchilds NASA the reverse vampires CONCACAF to rig a tournament in favor of MLS teams. We're through the looking glass, people.
Bump. We are at year 21. Will Seattle break the curse against Pumas? 2000 LA Galaxy 2001 Club America (Giants Cup*) 2002 Pachuca 2003 Toluca 2004 Alajuelense 2005 Saprissa 2006 Club America 2007 Pachuca 2008 Pachuca 2009 Atlante 2010 Pachuca 2011 Monterrey 2012 Monterrey 2013 Monterrey 2014 Cruz Azul 2015 Club America 2016 Club America 2017 Pachuca 2018 Chivas 2019 Monterrey 2020 Tigres UANL 2021 Monterrey 2022 ??? *no Champions Cup that year

Congrats to Seattle. Will it be a one-off or an indicator of more to come? What's the latest "gap" measurement?
No club outside Mexico, USA, and Costa Rica won it since Honduras' Olimpia in 1988. No club outside Mexico, USA, Canada, and Costa Rica reached the Final since Olimpia lost to Los Angeles Galaxy in 2000. No club from the Caribbean won it since Defence Force in 1985, and no club from the Caribbean reached the Final since Police in 1991. Both of them are in Trinidad and Tobago.
