Starting the thread, where the 2010 CFU Champions Cup thread left of... Follow up: 1st leg results: Islanders 4-1 LA Galaxy Santos 1-0 Jabloteh Joe Public 2-2 Brujas Warner: "I repeat... I really screwed up this one...."
Brujas is by far the easiest of the three teams. In fact given how poorly they've done in their first two league games, they are probably the worst team in the whole tournament (ok maybe San Francisco would give them a run for their money). It's not Warner's fault the Galaxy decided to die sometime during the month of July. He dutifully did his job...that is he gave Joe Public the easiest match he possibly could have...and guess what? Joe Public will probably go through to the group stage once again.
Joe Public 4-2 Brujas final in the return leg Congratulations to Joe Public! Let the Islanders and Joe Public make the Caribbean proud in the groups stage. We need to make a case to get a direct spot for the Caribbean into the Group Stages of future CCL tournaments for the CFU Champion. It also will give the CFU final an added value for the teams competing for the cup. What has Guatemala and Panama done in the tournament to deserve direct spots into the groups stage? One of those direct spots should be reallocated to the Caribbean.
+1 on everything you stated here. CFU definitely needs an automatic spot in tha group stages. Congrats to JP and Islanders on qualifying for tha group stages. Time to start beating MLS teams on tha regular.
Through five out of six Group Stage games, Joe Public has 1 point which is the fewest points of the 16 Group Stage clubs, while Puerto Rico Islanders are in second with 8 points. They will win the group if they win at Olimpia but will finish third and be eliminated if Toluca wins and Puerto Rico Islanders don't.
