Cheeta Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Not bad for Valour. Home then away until the end of June then it all gets doubled up for the remainder. Much bet balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally like to see them switch the North Star Shield to recognize the regular season champion and have the new cup recognize the playoff champion. I know there had been some talk here of giving the latter a name in keeping with the other awards - maybe the Borealis Cup? narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you parse this article, it amounts to: any other method of qualifying for the CCL taking precedence over the Voyageurs Cup. So if the VC winner also qualified through the CPL, MLS, or the Leagues Cup, then their spot from the VC would go to the VC runner up. https://www.si.com/soccer/2022/06/01/concacaf-champions-league-2024-qualification-format-criteria narduch, m-g-williams, Ivan and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 ...things will get interesting if the VC runner up also manages to do that. ...The “higher-ranked” semifinalist, based on unspecified criteria, will earn the berth if the two finalists have qualified via MLS, the Leagues Cup or the Canadian Premier League...

Kingston Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 A lot of oddball scenarios are technically possible because there are so many possible ways for Canadian teams to qualify for the CCL. It seems unlikely to me that we'll have to go very far down those different rabbit holes, but I'd be delighted for us to have the "problem" of sorting out the order of precedence because so many Canadian teams qualified.

Nearly every professional sports team in North America "loses" money (including the CPL), and unless you're an owner it shouldn't bother you all that much.

Context, meaning that losing money doesn't necessarily means that clubs or the league are about to go bankrupt - which is popular with some posters here. Best example is Valour. Despite the organization being profitable as a whole despite the club itself losing money, you'll see "they are about to lose patience with this club" kind of comment.

I think it shows that it's very difficult for Canadian MLS teams to succeed. There are so many variables that Canadian MLS teams have to deal with compared to their American counterparts. None of which work in their favor And then yes, in people's wildest fantasies those 3 teams would play in the CPL Edited February 2, 2023 by SpursFlu Bbeto and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
