2020 Concacaf Champions League
- Thread starter danger
- Start date
Six years in, I’m still waiting for just one player who scores in big games.
I just watched the relevant portions. CCL refs are such corrupt crap, and I’ve never seen Club America not act like garbage. Are they the most hated team in Mexico? I’m so glad LAFC beat them. Good for Vela.

Was hoping for an LAFC v Olimpia final, but hoping LAFC punish Tigres and get revenge for us and all of MLS vs Liga MX sides and a big FU to CONCACAF refs...
Also if LAFC wins they will have defeated 4 straight LIGA MX teams.

This tournament is such a joke. It's run horribly, there's very little prize money, and it tends to screw up the teams that participate. I honestly think CCL isn't worth the trouble. If we get in, great. Fun to face teams from Mexico and see how good we really are. But I care about it a fraction of the amount I care about MLS games. There needs to be a better way.
They are trying to create a new image for CCL. But until they can provide a higher standard of refereeing, require VAR, and generally, just make it more worthwhile as an international competition, it won't be seen as anything more than a half ass tournament trying to be like UEFA.
I think CCL could become something special but only if concacaf gets their shit together. I care about it if we're in it, but not as much if we aren't.
I'd rather win MLS CUP, USOC, and/or supporter's shield.
CONCACAF leadership is short-sighted. They don't want to invest in a tournament that "only" benefits MLS and LigaMX teams, seemingly not realizing that if they promoted it properly they could be sitting on a bigger revenue generator. Instead, I'm sure MLS and LigaMX will push to shorten and de-emphasize CCL even more in the future in favor of the Leagues Cup.
After an MLS/LigaMX merger, I can see a future where CONCACAF League consists of teams from non-merger leagues like CPL, USL, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Then the CONCACAF League winner faces the LigaNA Cup winner in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. A one-game CCL.
EDIT: Or North and Central America join up with CONMEBOL and the Caribbean Football Union is on their own.

He's gonna have to up his disguise game if he wants to remain on the sideline.
LAFC hoped to appeal Atuesta's red card suspension for the CCL final. "However, it is unclear if Concacaf have a formal appeal process for the continental tournament, making the process more complicated."
I didn't think I could think less of CONCACAF

America was 3rd in the Apetura and then got upset in the playoff. Then lost to an MLS team when up a goal and a man. Plus, Herrera started a physical altercation with an opposing coach, was red carded, and then violated the rules by communicating with his team in the second half.
Now, I don’t know which of those things are more likely to get you fired at that Club, but one of them has to be.

This thing is presumably a professional soccer competition? I've seen high school sports managed better than this. I hope NYCFC never has to take part again. It's more of a pain than it's worth.
