The answer is:

DC United.

Not possible - we don't get drawn against any teams in the same pot.

Best draw is to get NYRB. No team in pot 3 should be a threat

Interesting to look at all the possibilities in there. Don't want to get too far ahead of myself though by looking at it too hard. First things first....let's kick some ass tonight!

It's tremendously bad. The older format was so much better.

What possibilities? Thres only 4 possible pot A teams can be grouped with. Its either one of the 2 strongest Mexican teams (Pachuca, Leon) or MLS Cup champs SKC or Supporter Shield winners NY RedBulls.

Teams in Pot 3 are all pretty much fodder, so hopefully get Puerto Rico or something because its closer flight and less stressful travel.

You know that the Canadian team is going to be going against the Mexican champion. It's the TFC way.

As for the format, I'm fine with it as it means that teams have to play fewer games. Do you really want TFC to play two extra fixtures in the middle of a playoff race?

Mexican Champ or SKC. That's what the Amway Champ will get.

Joe Kool

I still don't get why US and Mexican teams can't play each other in the first round. The only reason I can see is to get the US teams the better chance to make it further while flipping the bird to the rest of us. So much for keeping it fair by drawing out of the pots. Also, they should be able to have groups within the same association. Let the Mexicans or Americans knock their own teams out if that is the luck of the draw. It is like rigging the draw with the illusion they are doing it fairly. Maximizing TV ratings I am sure plays a part too. The almighty dollar. Maybe I am totally wrong and missing something. Just my opinion.

Hell yeah I want those two extra games. I've never had so much fun at a TFC match than I have at the CONCACAF CL.

Just drew NYRB from pot 1. Best chance for us to advance to knock out stage (well, when we win the V Cup)

Not a guaranteed 6 points with FAS. Hopefully the Red Bulls are the ones that slip up vs. them.

NY are the weakest top seed so that's great for us (if we advance). DC got a great group too. Portland will have insane travel but should get through. Saprissa are a good side, but SKC are a strong team and take the CCL seriously. With only 4 group games one slip up can be costly.

Wasn't there another format where it was the same? 2 formats ago? I could be thinking of an international team tournament...

I think you're mistaken.

It was the 4 team groups prior to this one, for a few years. Then it was the Champions Cup or whatever, I think that was just a knockout.

Must've been a tourney with Canada then.

Doesn't this format prevent a qualifier round we had to go through once?

Actually, I wasn't thinking about us, I was thinking about the clubs themselves. I'm sure coaches and players are happier with fewer games.

Yup. We used to have the 2 leg playoff vs teams like the Islanders or whatever. Who I unfortunately remember cause we lost to them, lol.

No way they couldn't have redesigned it without that preliminary stage, but maintained a 4x4 group stage.

Yeah, I am all about this. I rate playoffs second to CONCACAF. I love these games.

Me too, this is by far the more exciting tournament pitted against the best in the region.
