    Thumbs down MLS has no clue how their clubs do in CCL!

    check out this arcticle posted on mlssoccer.com they indicate that TFC bowed out against Honduran powerhouse Motagua?!!!

    Didnt we beat them? Didnt we beat Cruz Azul in the group stage? WTF this pisses me off...

    and are we not in the CCL for the 3rd time? not 2nd?!!!

    We were in the preliminary round that year we lost to Puerto Rico so I think that counts. No excuse for the other stuff though.

    First of all he should be saying this our third straight year since he believes we lost in the prelims last year to Motagua (we lost in the same round the previous year to Puerto Rico). Therefore to even say this is our second straight year means he is including preliminaries as a CCL appearance. Therefore it should say it's our third straight appearance.

    Second, bowing out to Motagua last year would imply that we were eliminated which we were not. We won 1-0 at home and tied 2-2 away.

    When it comes to summarizing the history of 3 MLS teams in a tournament that is now going into it's fourth year (one where no more than 24 teams play in) this guy seems to be really clueless. It's one thing to be knowingly ignorant and hence choose not to mentiont TFC but, to actually publish false facts just takes away all credibility from any journalist.
