Seattle traditionally has not taken this seriously. They have the easiest trip to the Semis.

Hopefully Montréal doesn't ruin the Canadian coefficient. Rooting for Club León.
Is anyone planning on showing it in Canada? OneSoccer perhaps?

Let's hope TSN show the Impact games at least. They never seem to show Impact MLS games...
The top half of the draw looks easier (only one Mexican club and weaker MLS clubs).
Is there a country coefficient? Do we benefit if Impact win it?
Rooting for the Sounders. I have a ton of respect for that organization.

TSN 5 at 8 for the Impact game tomorrow.
Will be interesting to see what XI TH puts out.
So far in the first half, Cruz Azul hasn't done squat against Portmore United.
So I turn on the Portmore Cruz Azul game.
2 guys down injured, small team winning - lots of people on the pitch, a stretcher & 6 minutes of extra time.
I LOVE ME SOME CCL
And there is the CCL we all know
Portmore just got CONCACAF'd
LAFC with the 3 keepers in the 18 trick
English language LigaMx commentators on the LAFC game - quite good.
Watched the first 15 minutes of LAFC, they were cringe worthy level bad. Big time rust you can tell this is there first real competitive game of the year. Also No Ateusta and they just traded there starting CB.
Few things of note.
1) Portmore v Azul was CONCACAF in its purest form. Underdogs go up. Crazy amounts of extra time. Game flips in said extra time. Game played on cow pasture. Ticks every box.
2) LAFC traded Zimmerman right before this tie because?
3) LAFC travelling support is impressive. Kudos to them.
4) Not an observation but a thought - I hope MLS teams get obliterated as a sign that going cheap with the new CBA can maintain the gap with Liga MX
5) TFC should be here. I love my team but my goodness how did we let the limp act waste a spot like this.
Atlanta got the result, LAFC looked like they did against us back in the fall.
Nothing beats CCL experience for dealing with CCL.
Pre-game show on nTSN5 at 7.30.
I hate, hate, hate the CONCACAF 1-minute highlights for these games.
Not that Montreal is really good but Saprissa's defence has been bad.
Montreal getting into the quarters is useful to us as it means the Canadian co efficient can't drop the 2021 Canadian team down in the rankings.
Yea good for us If you believe we will be able to retain Canadian championship . I am very concerned about the health of our top players ! This has a chance to go south very fast with Jozy sure to be injured, Piatti who already is being treated with kid gloves as management already stating they will rest him about 30% of matches and Bradley who is gone for 4 months.
My friends at the pub are wondering if the Piatti signing was just the club appeasing the fan base who missed out on signing a bigger name?
Impact were the Impact of last year - great first 20 minutes - can't hold a lead.
Hate to say it but Impact played fairly well. Kept their shape for the most part but exhaustion did them in in the end.
