2011-12 CONCACAF Champions League qualifiers/news

All Mexican semifinal once again as a big F U to Concacaf for rigging the draws.

 

If they want all 4 can win the group, that would be a huge F.U. to Concacaf.

 

If the truly rigged the draws, why would you not think they will rig them again next year?

 

The rules right now is that 1st place teams will face second placed teams in the quarterfinals.

But you are right, concacaf could always change the rule after the group stage.

Now they get to lose to Real Esteli.

 

So Seattle vs. San Fransisco is the first game on the 26th, I did not know San Fran had a team, are they MLS?

















I know San Francisco Panama!

 

When´s this tourney gonna start? I want to continue seeing mexican teams lift trophies

 

CCL should do Apertura Clausura that would double the amount of trophies.






Or split the Mexican season into Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring tournaments, that way Mexico can have 4 champions per year.

 

San Francisco FC hopefully plays better this time..not like the previous times (horrible horrible)...shoot, I might even show up in Seattle game with my SF jersey (though i'm really an Arabe Unido fan, but it's a country thing u know, gotta rep my PTY)

 

actually, CCL should do like s. america tournaments, just take up half of a year. copa lib takes up just half of years, and the same is true of copa sud.
the 2nd half of the year for CCL would be better so as to have the winner in top form when going to the Club World cup. W/Tevez going to corinthians, and them not having made copa lib or copa sud this year, I'd say concacaf should offer them a couple of mil to participate in CCL...if it had been just half of year...there's always time to change it LA or Sea vs Tevez & company would not have been bad to watch...not at all.

 

they have good attacking football and their defense is decent to combat any MLS team from what I saw back last year.

 

Fox Soccer Channel is broadcasting all MLS team games in the preliminaries. But are any of the other games going to be on tv. I mean you'd think at least the games involving the Mexican teams would be on the idiots latrern. Anybody know about it?

 

nothing posted yet about a tv schedule on Concacaf's site.

there is a link (titled "Click Here for TV Schedule") at the following page:

http://www.concacafchampions.com/page/CL/Schedule/0,,12856,00.html

but that link currently leads to the generic dates/calendar pdf file.

at some point (perhaps not until some point within the last week of July), Concacaf may update that link to be the tv schedule. (last season, that link would be a pdf file listing full tv coverage options throughout the Concacaf region.)

likely the Univision family of networks will carry some games (on TeleFutura and/or Galavision). look for updates here: http://futbol.univision.com/horarios-por-tv/

 

I´m obviously reffering to international trophies

 

You may be able to get them on http://www.concacaftv.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Home

 

Myp2p.eu has both the Seattle and Toronto games listed but the link won't be available until 1500GMT on game day.

 

thanks Neals. Toronto and Whitecaps streams are very very hard to find. Maybe it deals w/them being in canada, not sure why but big thanks.

 

San Francisco 1 - 0 Seattle final.
