TFC will be drawn against a team in pot b. Avoiding Herediano and Saprissa would be nice
2018 CONCACAF Champions League
Pots have been determined. Here they are:
Pot One: Chivas (Mexico), Club America (Mexico), FC Dallas (USA), New York Red Bulls (USA), Seattle Sounders (USA), Tigres (Mexico), Tijuana (Mexico), Toronto FC (Canada)
Pot Two: Cibao FC (Dominican Republic), Colorado Rapids (USA), CS Herediano (Costa Rica), FC Motagua (Honduras), Olimpia (Honduras), Santa Tecla FC (El Salvador), Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica), Tauro FC (Panama)
Draw will take place December 18th at 7 PM. It’s a bracket draw, so our path to the final will be determined on the 18th. Who would you like in the round of 16 in late February?
Would it be bad to say I hope for the Rapids or a Caribbean team?
Or a Costa Rican team. I'd been planning on making a trip down with my seat mates for this round so it'd be nice to play in a country where I probably won't get kidnapped.Originally Posted by Initial B
The Costa Rican teams are the strongest in pot B tho.
Interesting how we got bumped to Pot A. Logically makes sense, but they've now pitted Colorado vs USA/MEX opposition which seemed to be what they didn't ever want to do.
I am really hoping for Colorado, I don't want to see how this team reacts to the treatment they would get from Central American players, fans and officiating after the debacle against NYRB.
CONCACAF created a coefficient system to determine seedings. Based on last 5 years performance.

why does canada only get 1 team we shoudl at least get 2
think we're lucky we got 1 and not .5 considering the qualification method
It must suck to be a rapids fan
I think this team can handle that and has been preparing for those games for a couple of years now.
Don't want the Rapids in February, thank you very much.
Round of 16: Feb. 20-22 and Feb, 27-March 1
Quarterfinals: March 6-8 and March 13-15
Semifinals: April 3-5 and April 10-12
Finals: April 17-19 and April 24-26
This tournament flies by.
A home match in February should be interesting!
If we get a central american team im gonna put money on Jozy getting a red
We're definitely gonna have to get some reinforcements to continue our strong form and seriously compete for this one
Good to see. An objective, non-corrupt means of determining the seedings. I guess we have to thank the Impact that Canada is seeded so high?
Nobody to fear in pot 2. Rapids, Saprissa and Herediano would be good to avoid though.
the draw will be about who we get in the QF and Semis aka non-mexican opposition!
Do any of you watch Liga Mx, I only catch the odd game, wondering how we would stack up against mexican teams
I'd like our chances against Xolos and Chivas. America and Tigres not so much.
I'd assume we'll be back at Rogers.
I dont think we ever play another game at Rogers ever...BMO is winterized, lets do it.
BMO field, Rogers is getting renovated,as far I remember something to do with lower level seats to be rotated toward home plate,no more football or soccer event at Rogers after that.
They've mentioned the general idea of looking into renovations for Rogers Centre sometime in the next few years that could include a possible new permanent rebuilding of the 100 level seating, but I think it's still in the stage of considering different concepts. Part of the concrete floor was removed in early 2016 for a baseball dirt infield, but the 100 level seating can still be shifted into the former football/soccer set-up (at least during the winter). It is being used in the middle of January 2018 for a Monster Truck event, with seats on Ticketmaster being sold in the south end 100 level sections that are covered up when the seats are rotated into the baseball configuration.
But I suppose it's possible they may no longer have the artificial turf for the non-baseball arrangement.

They've definitely laid out sod in the Skydome for international friendlies in the past. I want to say Man U played a game there maybe 8 years ago on temporarily rolled out grass.
Not saying they would do that for TFC (I would bet that they would not and just give us turf) but if the seating still allows the soccer pitch, then it seems like it is still possible to play at the dome.
I've heard a lot of TFC fans say that it isn't possible but has anyone at MLSE ever confirmed that? And the recent world Cup bid had the Rogers Centre listed, so to me it seems like it is still a possible site.

Not to overtake you but MLSE is not playing this game at the dome when our BMO Field is now winterized. It simply does not make economic sense. Feb. 22 at BMO Field will be more epic than not especially if it makes complete sense.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Manning has said these games will be at BMO.
