The only way I see this working is if the MLS gets only one slot for their champion and the other top teams get slotted into the CCL, a little along the lines of what Mexico does. The best MLS team might account itself well, or at least not get embarrassed.
Maybe this is more official than before, but the suggestion of MLS teams to the Copa Libertadores is noting new.
Fair enough, thanks.Originally Posted by Pachuco
I wasn't being sarcastic by the way, I'm just not that familiar with the soccer in that region.
Well hold on a minute. What if TFC went around the MLS and CONCACAF.
What if the NCC would determine which Canadian club went to the Libertadores. The NCC is the only way we get a shot into CONCACAF so why not drop the CONCACAF for Libertadores. Plus, with Vancouver coming into MLS next year and MTL in 2012 it's not like they would be getting a bunch of hacks to kick around. MTL went all the way to the quaterfinals (I think) and TFC held it's own against Mexican clubs so why not.
Just a thought.
Fixed.
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
dont necessarily agree with alot you say but we definitely agree on this.
we arent in conmebol, so we shouldnt participate
I'm absolutely, 100% against this idea. What's the point of having two separate confederations if all the clubs (not to mention even national sides) are just going to jump into each others' tournaments? How many of you would be in favour of African or Asian clubs playing the UEFA CL? Probably none . . . so why does this make sense?
As Exiled says, we need to focus on improving CONCACAF, improving our region, instead of pissing on it when it's down. The biggest problem with CONCACAF right now is Jack Warner -- if we can actually get more people to care about CONCACAF by bringing more attention to it via things like the CCL, then maybe, finally, enough light will be shed on Warner's activities that he'll somehow get deposed. But aside from that, clubs should be kept in their own confederation, nuff said. I would even stop the Mexican clubs already competing in CONMEBOL -- I think FIFA should step in and forbid it (and I've been saying that for years).
Not to mention the insane amount of travel already brought up.
If they drop Superliga and have the teams filtered to Libertadores I would allow for it.
Good, grief ... there would be less travel involved for Toronto if we placed in the UEFA Champions League!
this
No shit, if we are going to travel that far might as well go for glory.
guys think off toronto in january toronto in february toronto early april, snow minus 8to 28 just not feasable for fans, grass, stadium safety laws, travel, you can have the best teams in world throw in thes factors it will be a failure support wise, fans cant make midweek games in summer on time think off the winter, with sqaud sizes we have injurys in the close season whould kill us for start off mls season, no brainer as far as i can see
Agreed. Garber will never go for it anyway. Maybe from this idea a new trans-conthnental SuperLiga will be born.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Gentlemen,we cant even make the MLS playoffs.ah nevermind playing against BOCA JUNIORS,RIVER PLATE.....and all those bigger name clubs...come on realstically speaking
This isn't about TFC, it's about MLS.
a tourney that starts in Jan vs some of the best teams in South America. well, I suppose you get a lot out of pre season training this way
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
In total agreement.
And before all you Latino football lovers go crazy just remember this would mean you would be enjoying SA futbol at the expense of TFC.
That's right, if TFC made it to this tournament it would only be a friendly for them that would wear them out for their real opportunity to go forward in the world club championship, the CCL. Like all the Mexican teams that have been invited for $$$ but not club championship spots.
Am I insulting the quality of play in the tournament? No. Do I think it would be folly to compete in an additional friendly tournament that means nothing to us? Absolutely.
Oh and fuck Superliga.
