For 15 years, clubs from Liga MX ran the CCL, not only winning every year, but also fielding the runner-up 10 of those years. Last year was different. For the first time in two decades, the crown of North America, Central America, and Caribbean soccer was held by a Major League Soccer team. It's time to dream again, as the Concacaf Champions League is BACK for the last year in its current format before it merges with the CONCACAF League.

All times Eastern for the Round of 16 (and all other rounds, probably)

LEG 1

March 7
Violette vs. Austin - 6PM (FS1)
Alianza vs. Philadelphia Union - 8PM (FS1)
Tigres UANL vs. Orlando City - 10PM (FS2)

March 8
Tauro vs. León - 6PM (FS2)
Olimpia vs. Atlas - 8PM (FS2)
Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Real España - 10PM (Fox Soccer Plus)

March 9
Motagua vs. Pachuca - 8PM (FS2)
Alajuelense vs. Los Angeles FC - 10PM (FS2)

LEG 2

March 14
Austin vs. Violette - 8PM (FS2)
Philadelphia Union vs. Alianza - 8PM (Fox Soccer Plus)
Atlas vs. Olimpia - 10:15PM (FS2)

March 15
Real España vs. Vancouver Whitecaps - 6PM (FS2)
Orlando City vs. Tigres UANL - 8:15PM (FS2)
Los Angeles FC vs. Alajuelense - 10:30PM (FS2)

March 16

MLS has some fairly strong teams in it this go, its on paper a stronger crop than last season (3/5 missed the playoffs in mls 2022, which cause and effect maybe but hey). Philadelphia and LAFC both are capable of winning it, and Orlando and Austin are capable of runs also. Vancouver exists, I guess.

I checked earlier and Austin were -1667 favorites, and Violette were something like +40000 to win by 3 or more

i thought about betting it but couldn't even find any evidence violette has played a competitive match since last may

"making GBS threads your pants in an away leg in CCL" means that Austin is officially a Real MLS Team now.

e: Found a really lovely video of the own goal. What in the everloving gently caress? :psyduck:

gignac just got red carded

e: looking at the replay i think it's a bullshit red card

e2: yeah, downgraded to a yellow. surprised schlegel didn't get a yellow as well but i guess you can't add cards after the fact?? i don't know what exactly VAR can and can't do

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Stupid admin/procedural question:

In competitions like this where goal difference matters, if you forfeit a game, how many goals do you concede on paper? I.E. How much do you lose by?

Forfeits are recorded as 3-0.

e: Since that would leave Violette/Austin level on GD, I'd imagine CONCACAF would use their God powers to say "Austin advances so we don't have to deal with this from Violette again"

I don't think I've ever seen a game with as many stretchers brought onto the field. They had to bring in a backup at one point.

They've gone 1-0, 0-0 and 1-1 in MLS play, and 0-0 in the first leg vs. Tigres.

If somehow they do come back in the next ~15 minutes to win this the outfield players should probably donate their game checks to Gallese for keeping it 1-0.

And loving FOX bumps the game off of FS2 (edit: for a baseball game that's already airing on FS1) as I hit post, so I can't watch anymore :argh:
