Congrats to Chivas. They have now won the very first (1962) and last (2018) CONCACAF Champions Cup/League. MLS fans may be thinking they have been waiting for a long time to reclaim the CONCACAF throne (close to two decades) but Chivas fans have been waiting for over five decades! I look forward to watching Chivas in Abu Dhabi. Well done to Toronto as well on an overall very impressive CCL run. The 2019 CCL is certainly shaping up to be an interesting one.
It was kind of strange optics with empty seats in the stadium and thousands watching on a big screen outside.
I never said they were being replaced It's possible the tickets may have been ridiculously priced leading to a lot of people watching outside on the giant screen.
I knew he was going to miss after he put the ball it move before he kicked it, but yeah looked like he did it intentionally.
Funny how everyone forgets that Osorio missed TFC's second PK..............but hey, Bradley's miss cost them the CCL Title and all. Gotta push the anti-american player narrative. Surprised nobody has said that he'd have made that PK if he was still playing in Europe.........
No one's forgetting. Osorio looked like he was going to puke as he waited to shoot. Osorio, however, did not send the deciding penalty into orbit. Bradley did. John Terry wasn't the only player to miss in the 2008 Champions League final either, but he's the only one people remember because he ********ed it up so badly.
A few more CCLs like that and I can see this competition really get popular. Lots of tense games. Toronto is the real deal. This finish reminded me a lot of the 2016 MLS cup final. They didn't finish quite strong enough but you can see the team has the quality to get to the final again. They still have DTAM to spend and an academy that can deliver better so they could be improved.
This would be a good troll response, but if serious than you have to realize that they've existed all of 1 year.
It's kind of a joke that they are the best team. They are doing things differently though, with younger South American players, and a world class coach. So people are excited about them.
If FIFA are able to secure the rumored USD 3 billion per edition it will survive just fine. But with 12 UEFA clubs it will mainly be a European showcase tournament. As for CONCACAF I would expect some kind of qualifying event for the four annual CCL winners to claim the two allocated CWC spots. Also, expect the two remaining CWC's after 2018 in the current format to go to Qatar to compensate for the Confederations Cup.
