PhillyJawn-guy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Facts are facts: Canada has CONSISTENTLY performed better than the USA year after year despite getting only 1 spot and not being seeded. While the US gets as many spots as Mexico despite being several levels worse and I feel like 4 US spots are a waste of space since the US MLS teams don't do squat in the CCL and most of the time they get hilariously awful results and that's not only vs Mexico, but CA and even Caribbean teams (remember NE Rev losing 4-0 to Trinidad's Joe Public). The Canadian teams, in contrast get decent results vs Liga MX sides and even making semi's and finals more often than the US. And going by results Canada is clearly superior to the US in the CCL since Canadian teams beat US ones more often than US have done so vs Liga MX. Therefore Canada should get 2 or 3 spots and the USA only 2 and the seeded (Pot 1) teams should look like this: 4 MEX, 1 CAN, 1 CR, 1 USA, 1 HON/PAN And as CPL grows in the future Canada should get 4 spots as right now the CPL is the only hope of breaking Liga MX's domination. The only reason the CCL is so one-sided because spots are not allocated properly and the underachieving and useless USA gets too many spots while more deserving countries like Canada and Costa Rica don't get enough. So who else agrees? Canada > USA in CCL and CPL > MLS in CCL soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Initial B Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I might have agreed with you 12 years ago, but the average MLS team skill has increased exponentially from those days. let's see how the new format pans out before upending the apple cart again.

grasshopper1917 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The USA has over 300 million people to our 35 million. They have 21 MLS teams to our 3. An American team has won MLS every year except when TFC won 2 years ago..... As much as I hate to say it I think it would be absurd to advocate Canadian clubs should get as many spots as American clubs at this juncture.

Except spots in the CCL are not and should not be given based on population and how big the league is. Canada should get more spots than the USA due to better performances and decent results with just 1 spot and with CPL Canada will have more than 3 teams of CCL quality. In CCL, Canada made the final 2 times, USA only 1. Canada made the semi's 3 times, same as US. Number of times: CAN eliminated MEX = 3 CAN eliminated US = 5 US eliminate MEX = 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What I don't like about the way you post, @PhillyJawn-guy is that every single one begs the question, forces the argument, and is tendentious. Without exception. I understand there are times when that could be a useful rhetorical device, and as a form of humour fairly good. You have zero sense of humour so I assume it is a little rhetorical trick you've latched onto, because somehow you convinced yourself that being, as one person is called here a complete homer, is a good role to play. It's not, it is really irritating and, on top of things, it is treating us as stupid. If you always post this way and start threads like this, it is, like Missy says to young Sheldon, dumbass.

Particularly if he has his hand on the electrocution button. But sometimes the button can be hard to press, so it could be unlikely. We'll just have to wait and see...

PhillyJawn-guy Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 OK, back to topic: maybe not MORE spots, but Canada should have the same number as the US considering given the results Canada is under-represented in CCL and the US way over-represented. I'd prefer Canada to get 3, but 2 should happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
