    Does this say that ESPN will be showing at least 64 of the 76 CCL games? If so, that's really good news.

    Doesn't really matter as we don't get ESPN up here anyway. I'm just glad there will be torrents, streams, or at least highlights of the games.

    So who will televise this thing here in the US? It's a lose lose situation either way, Raúl Lavabaños for Fox Sports or Pablo Ramírez for Univisión.

    The Canadian Representive was determined last night.

    Montreal Impact of the USL-1 division one the round robin tournment between them, Toronto and Vancoiver and will play a qualification match in the CCL

    Big blow for Toronto who thought they would coast right into this thing.

    While it certainly is a big blow for Toronto I don't know of anyone who thought they would coast right through the tournament. They were the favourites by virtue of being the only MLS team but no one expected a cake walk.

    They did for sure, just read some of their players comments about USL before and during the tournement. They pretty much all but thought their place in the CCL was a foregone conclusion.
