2021 CONCACAF League and 2022 Champions League

MLS4RSL BAAYYBBEE!!!!

 

Pumas lose to Saprissa and the Sounders. Not doing Liga MX proud.

 

Should have gone for the Comb... Not Even that they can do well

 

Lodeiro and Ruidiaz both being in or near tears is lovely to see.

 

Common thread: Garth Lagerway built that RSL team and this Seattle team.

 

I think Marshawn Lynch and Ken Griffey Jr. are happy.

 

ESPN app just stopped streaming without showing the trophy presentation ..... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

I hate you

 

I hope that the Club World Cup is televised in the US.

 

Which presentation? The CCL is on FS1.

 

Well, first you have to hope that it happens for 2022.

 

With the weird World Cup 2022 schedule, when and where will the Club World Cup be played?

 

My pick is Edmonton in February.

 

Supposedly February. No idea where.

 

I am in Medellín.. only the ESPN app was broadcasting it. (I don't have cable) just the ESPN app (Star+ is called here)

 

Now can we join Copa Libertadores since I always hear that MLS should win CCL first? Oh wait, it doesn't matter if MLS wins 5 or 1 or 0. It never mattered. I wonder what's next when someone brings up if MLS should join Copa Libertadores or not.

(I know, I know....the distance is too much and unfortunately we will never see it)

 

The alternative is FIFA launch the expanded (32-team) Club World Cup in 2025 and the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 CCL winners qualify for that.

Wasn’t Infantino supposed to be in Seattle? Did nobody ask him?

 

Is now the time to remind people that DC United is responsible for all this nonsense? Yep, it was us, at home, that lost to Seattle in the US Open Cup final in 2009, for Seattle's very first piece of silverware in their MLS iteration. And yes, I was AT that game as well. Ugh. I am sick.

 

This won't make some of our long-time Mexican fans here happy, but right now you could easily argue that American soccer is ahead of Mexican soccer. The CCL trophy, Nations League trophy, and Gold Cup all reside in the U.S. now. Plus Mexico hasn't beat the U.S. head-to-head any time recently, while the U.S. has won 3 of the last 4 competitive matches.

(Now I don't think the U.S. has caught and passed Mexico, but the gap is smaller than a lot of people want to admit)

 

So does this mean Leagues Cup is the real tournament this year?

 

Or.. hear me out here.. it was the Sounders that are responsible for the excellence since they joined the league.

*patpat*

 

It all went downhill when they got rid of pro/rel.

 

Lagerway is being interviewed on the MLS youtube channel.
