Not just - Impact can compete as well, if they qualify. 25 minutes ago, Ams1984 said: We have a version of Europa, it’s called the Concacaf League, this is different. Very much like the Europa League, with the lower teams going into it. The top six teams from the Concacaf League go onto the Champions League. The Concacaf League is more like a qualifier for the Champions League. 2 hours ago, Watchmen said: Like a square peg in a round hole. I suppose one way they can do it, is start Voyageurs Cups a bit earlier, and stick to US Open dates, which gives 5 clear weeks. Ending the double-legged matches could help that - which are one thing when there's only 4 teams in the tournament - but could be 15 next season.

CanadianSoccerFan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Leagues Cup is run by MLS and Liga MX. It's not run by CONCACAF. Ironically these leagues whined that CCL should not take place in the 2nd half of the year. Yet they turn around and do just that with their own competition because they can control it and keep all the money for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leagues Cup is too absurd to have a parallel. The idea is that the best teams from MLS excluding the Champions League teams play a tournament against the best teams in Mexico excluding the Champions League teams play a meaningless tournament in an effort to grab cash from fans.

Toronto Ruffrider Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This reminds me of the old SuperLiga tournament held between MLS and Liga MX teams around ten years ago, except lamer because it won't have the best teams from either league in it. Honestly, given all of the issues regarding fixture congestion and what not, we don't need tournaments such as these. If the time exists to hold meaningless tournaments, then the same time also exists to throw in additional matches in the Canadian Championship, as an example.

Kent Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It’s almost concerning that they still haven’t 100% ruled out a new team for 2020. Assuming of course he isn’t thinking about a Fury revival so quickly. Presumably they aren’t since I gather they are in the process of refunding season ticket holders.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The CanPL press release about the Fury did state that the door remains open, so from a CanPL perspective that probably still makes Ottawa a viable eighth market for 2020. Given there's potential scope for litigation on what has happened there, it could just be a case of going through the motions on what they need to be seen to do. The time to announce any 2021 expansion sides would be early May at the 2020 CSA AGM, if normal protocol is followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, the Europa League had teams from more than two leagues. Quote The Leagues Cup is an annual association football competition between clubs from Major League Soccer and Liga MX in North America. It debuted in July 2019 with four teams participating from each league. The first edition was a single-elimination tournament hosted in the United States with a final played in Las Vegas on September 18, 2019.(Wikipedia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The REM line is to have a stop at Edouard Montpetit and the CEPSM at 1500 seats MAY work for a CPL team and with the REM train maybe bring in spectators from the West Island and the northern parts of Montreal around the Blue Line. BUT I know the Bunbury team will end up in Laval. And Clanahan has stated that Quebec could have 3 teams in the CPL : Greater Montreal, Quebec City and ?????????(Sherbrooke??)
