Pumas is a team to avoid. Maybe we can get a match against Puerto Rico, Velez would be torn.
Animals Eaten:
pig, cow, lamb, moose, chicken, quail, kudu, ostrich, kangaroo, octopus, alligator, rabbit, shark, springbok, goat, bison, boar, caterpillars, turkey, fish, lobster, crab, oyster, prawn, antelope, camel, eel, squid
I thought I remembered reading in another Champions League thread that we're one of the seeded teams for the preliminary round and therefore wouldn't have to face one of the big boys i.e. Pumas, Cruz Azul, Alajualense or any of the other MLS teams.
that could be the case, I haven't read as much as I would have liked on the tourney. I think we can beat one of the island teams in a first round game.

Only 2 of the MLS teams are seeded to the group round (Houston and DC), the other 2 (NER and Chivas) play in the preliminary round.Originally Posted by Canary Canuck
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Yup, knew that already. Just didn't feel like looking up which 2 teams were the ones in the prelim
I’ve read in the BS CCL thread that the qualifying teams are being put into two pots (A&B). The MLS teams, the Mexican teams, the Costa Rican team, and the Honduran team cannot be drawn against each other. Here’s the quote from the thread:
http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=698614&page=3Something to mention from the Canadian Championship match between the Montreal Impact and Toronto FC on May 27. During the Broadcast it was stated that for the preliminary round draw, the 16 teams will be places into two pots for the draw.
Pot A: Mexico3, MExico4, USA3, USA4, Canada, Honduras2, Costa rica2, Panama1
Pot B: Guatamala2, El Salvador 2, Panama 2, Belize, Nicaragua, CFU 1, 2, 3,
With Pot A being drawn against Pot B, the toughest opposition we can face are probably the Guatemalan or El Salvadorian sides.
Here’s the teams already qualified:
United States
Houston Dynamo*
DC United*
New England Revolution
Chivas USA
Mexico
Atlante FC*
UNAM Pumas
Santos Leguna
Cruz Azul
Costa Rica
Deportivo Saprissa
LD Alajuelense

CD Luis Angel Firpo
CD FAS

Puerto Rico Islanders
Why, do we get to play all the qualifying games at home?
No, but we've already won 1 game away from home, 3 of 4 wins will/should be good enough.
ya cause we all know we dont do well on the road......i think he is confident we will qualify is because we happened to win are fist game vs Montreal in Montreal. But really will still gotta beat Vancouver away, and tho we are very tough to beat at home.....you never know!
i think the easiets teams to play against would be teams from Belize, Panama and Nicaragua and the toughest comming from Mexico, USA and Honduaras.
Road trip to the Carribean.
Mexico it is
I think a few people already mentioned that getting Atlante of Cancun in the group stage would be the best road trip ever!
The two Costa Rican teams would be tough, but a great road trip.
Agreed. I'd say Saprissa would be quite the experience. That place is a cauldron and a half! I'm just psyched for this tournament
