What does it mean for the rest of the tournament ? Winner of Guastatoya or Alajuelense gets a straight path to the semis and essentially guarantee a berth into Champions League ? How much as Forge's chances improved of qualifying for the Champions League given that there are now essentially 7 teams left in QF ? Unlike last year, there is no playoff from losing QF to play for the last 2 berths, it is based on standings with usual tiebreakers. Good point about the 7 QF now. Thought they were doing the play in game again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yup, a good point, but I'm not going to worry about it for at least another 4 hours and 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trois Reds Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Alajuelense must be kicking themselves. They lost to the last placed team in Guatemala. Guastatoya has one win in all comps this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) For a minute I was thinking we could know if Forge qualify for the Champions League by the end of tonight. But then I realized that points gained in the quarter finals will go towards the ranking of the top 6 teams as well. We will have to be a bit more patient, but these would be good results for Forge. Real Esteli win Universitario draw Motagua Plaza Amador win Santa Lucia win Alianza win Those results would have all those teams on 3 points or less, with Forge on 4 points so far. Draws in any of those games or a win for either Universitario or Motagua would have the advancing team tied with Forge on points. Losses for the teams I am hoping win, would mean Forge is behind the team that won... if that makes sense. P.S.

But with lack of open dates and playing this late into 2021... I am still waiting to see if CONCACAF will change the rules of standings or in competition in general for qualifying the best 6, but doesn't look likely and will maintain status quo. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge need to finish ahead of Marathon in the 'table' of results from the Round of 16 forward. Currently they are 1 point up on Marathon. So any win against Santos will see them through to Champions League, even if they don't advance. If Forge ties they can still advance if Marathon ties or loses their next match. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_CONCACAF_League The top 6 teams advance. gator, Kent and Jedi Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Some other quirks are that Saprissa and Santos have qualified for Champions League no matter what happens in their return matches. Marathon also plays after Forge. So if Forge do not win Marathon will know what they need to do to advance. gator and Jedi Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The schedule and travel for Forge are ridiculous, squad depth will really be put to the test and as they opinied on OneSoccer it makes finishing first in CPL that much more important for Forge! Browne has been called for Panama so he will miss some key matches, I think the squad we see in the home leg of the Concacaf semi final will be dependent on whether Forge are in the CPL final on the Saturday after! ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Comunicacions won their first CONCACAF League title last night, and the first win for Guatemala as well. Now Guatemala (once), Costa Rica (three times), and Honduras (once) have all won the title. Motagua lost in the final for the 3rd time! They lead all teams in finals appearances, but have no championship to show for it yet. Saprissa is the only other team to make it to the finals twice in the competition's 5 year history. Saprissa have 1 win and 1 loss in their 2 finals appearances. No teams have won it all twice. Comunicacions was actually the first finalist that isn't from Honduras or Costa Rica.
