dyslexic nam Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 After the experience in Vancouver, this is a great development. This will keep him in the striker pool for the Nats and force guys like Ugbo and (hopefully) Jebbo to up their game. Competition for spots is always healthy and having Cav still competing at a high level is good news for everyone.

InglewoodJack Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Going to take this time to ask the most pressing question: how does Liga MX actually work? There are two, completely independent seasons each year, each which holds no bearing on the other, and no relegations at all? Why to all of that?

They used to have pro/rel but the big clubs decided (I presume) it was more lucrative to have a closed league similar to the American model. Very happy to see Cavallini landing on his feet here.

Joe MacCarthy Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The Estadio Caliente Xoloitzcuintles is a multi-use stadium in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, that is mostly used for football matches. The stadium hosts home matches for the football club Club Tijuana, who play in Liga MX, Mexico's top league. Estadio Caliente is also the home of the gridiron football team, Galgos de Tijuana, that competes in the LFA. The stadium was opened in November 2007, according to schedule. The stadium originally had a capacity of 13,333. Work on the stadium still continues today. The stadium will have a final capacity of 33,333 once completed. The construction of the stadium was planned in two parts. The first part finished the ground and lower sections of the stadium. In the second phase, the stadium's capacity was increased. As of 2022, the stadium is still under construction. Location Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico Capacity 27,333 Field size 103 × 68 meters Surface Artificial turf (Due to hot springs under stadium floor that impede grass growth) Construction Broke ground August 2006 Opened November 11, 2007 Construction cost USD 30 million Obinna and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like the MLB set up they had in 1981 where my Expos were deprived of a World Series birth because of a late homer in a game that shouldn't have taken place in the first place. Therefore, bad system IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have a "Super Cup" match between the Apertura and Clausera champions. Playoffs for top 8 teams; 1v8, 2v7, etc. tiebreak goes to the higher seed (ie. no BS penalties) EDIT: the playoffs were the reason why CONCACAF used to schedule the CCL to end ridiculously early as in April. It was so that the Final would not conflict with the Mexican playoffs. Edited February 2, 2023 by Metro narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, bad system IMO. You are blowing my mind right now. I didn't know what you were talking about so I looked up the 1981 standings. I had no idea there was any sort of split season. I see now it was due to a player strike, but still, I had no idea. That was only maybe 6 or 7 years before I started having some awareness of MLB.

Gian-Luca Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm not sure why Game 5 of the NLCS in 1981 shouldn't have taken place though....is it because Cincinnati and St. Louis had the best record in each division if you combine the two "halves" of the season? Even if they had gone with best overall record over the split seasons, that still wouldn't have helped the Expos. In any case, the four teams who qualified for the playoffs by virtue of leading the division at the time of the strike had nothing to play for in the second half of the season so naturally their intensity would drop and their records would plummet accordingly, which is what happened.
