Do you like Mexican soccer? Well, good news! The CONCACAF Champions League is back, and is almost a guarantee for an all-Mexican finals (5 out of 6 so far). This also marks the 50th competition CONCACAF has put on, and a Mexican team has won 30 of the past 49. If Benito Juárez was its own nation, it would have just as many titles as Costa Rica, the nation with the second most Champions League victories. Teams are divided into groups who play round robin with each other. The team with the most amount of points moves on to the knockout round, which is seeded based on those very points. Group 1 Municipal (Guatemala) Pachuca (Mexico) Real España (Honduras) Group 2 Real Estelí (Nicaragua) Saprissa (Costa Rica) Sporting Kansas City (USA) Group 3 FAS (El Salvador) Montreal Impact (Canada) New York Red Bulls (USA) Group 4 D.C. United (USA) Tauro (Panama) Waterhouse (Jamaica) Group 5 Alpha United (Guyana) Olimpia (Honduras) Portland Timbers (USA) Group 6 Alajuelense (Costa Rica) Chorrillo (Panama) Cruz Azul (Mexico) Group 7 Isidro Metapán (El Salvador) León (Mexico) Group 8 América (Mexico) Comunicaciones (Guatemala) Puerto Rico Bayamón FC (Puerto Rico) US television rights belong to Fox Sports, so expect the games on Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and Fox Soccer Plus for all games involving US teams and maybe a few others. The Univision family of networks will probably show most of the rest of the games. There's also Fox Soccer 2Go, which will carry every game. Canadian television rights belong to Rogers, so Montreal games will be on the Sportsnet family of networks. I don't know about other matches, but I'd imagine there's a way to watch them. Group stage lasts from August to October; knockout stage is in the Spring. Official Website Easiest to navigate schedule Edward Mass fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Aug 13, 2014 |

Alajuelense are being terrible lately so they will most likely fail. Saprissa have been playing well and might make it out of the group but gently caress them. This cup's format sucks and it's designed to get rid of the non-mexican non-mls teams ASAP. Should be 6 groups of 4 imo.

MLS is too random to ever do anything in this. Portland had one of the best records to get into this tournament and now they're complete poo poo.

CONCAF is pretty dumb for the MLS, due to how it breaks down the team qualifying for the tourney is going to be pretty significantly changed by the time you get around to the knockout rounds. At least DC has improved quite a bit from last year so they might not be poo poo... and I bet Portland is out before the knockouts.

Alajuelense got a good result, 1-1 away at Cruz Azul Today the purples are losing in Nicaragua lol Also what the hell Alan Kardek's corpse is playing for Estelí e: lmao legit goal not called for Saprissa because CONCACAF is too poor for goal line technology Simone Poodoin fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Aug 7, 2014 |

I watched Comunicaciones vs Bayamon yesterday, Comunicaciones were quite poo poo in front of goal and still won 5-0. América's youth team will loving wreck them. Simone Poodoin fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Aug 9, 2014 |

Belmopan Bandits have been kicked out of the competition for being too poo poo even for CONCACAF. Herediano will take their place, Leon and Meatpan will probably be kinda mad for losing their punching bag.

That's gotta be odd to tell Metapan. "Oh, by the way, that match you have in 9 days? We've changed the nation you're going to."

"Hey, even though Bayamón started off on the very wrong foot, they had a pretty good second half! They held off América, and even managed to score a goal! And now that the game is ending in 20 seconds, I doubt anything will happen score-wise." *América scores a goal with ten seconds to spare. Score is now 6-1* "Welp. Back to business."

After the World Cup, I started watching MLS again and thought, "wow, the refereeing is just awful." Now, after watching MLS for a while, I watch CCL and think "wow, MLS refereeing isn't nearly half this bad."

I'm quite relieved to see we were not the only ones to tie against Real Esteli. On the other hand, that says a lot about our group

DCU is playing a mostly reserve side in front of like 2,000 people in RFK, sigh. Wish we had ownership that cared about marketing these games. That said Waterhouse or whatever isn't exactly a draw.

We booed Eddie in the lineup announcements. He scored a goal. He can still gently caress off and I don't even care that I pissed off the guy in an EJ jersey in front of me. DC's reserves, mainly the same team that lost to Rochester, are making Waterhouse look like clowns.
