Kent Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 First round Pacific I think should have a realistic chance of winning. It gets a lot tougher in the 2nd round if they make it there though. They potentially would have to play a Costa Rican team in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds. In the other half of the draw, Olimpia is probably the only team at the level of the Costa Rican teams. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The round of 16 schedule is out, if we get past Waterhouse we play Herediano at home on 16 August, return leg the following Tuesday in Costa Rica. https://www.concacaf.com/en/concacaf-league/article/concacaf-announces-2022-scotiabank-concacaf-league-round-of-16-schedule/ johnyb, narduch and ted 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Aaaaand things off to a bumpy start for PFC. Flight to Toronto this evening was delayed until (maybe) 6:00 am tomorrow. Not sure what that does to the connection to Kingston (Jamaica). narduch and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule #1 do not fly thru Toronto Never thought I'd see the day that I'd rather fly thru the US rather than Toronto Very excited for this.. I think if Pacific can make a run it will do wonders to enhance their profile Edited July 24, 2022 by SpursFlu johnyb and ted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why our Saturday game in Winnipeg hasn't been rescheduled is mind boggling.

Don't think it is an exagerration to say that Pacific has drawn the hardest rival left. Should be an excellent test, but I'd say our odds with Herediano must be lower than they would be for any other rival, except perhaps the other CR team, Alajuelense.

Herediano seems to have started the new Costa Rica season pretty hot too. Perhaps only the Honduran teams would be worse (Olimpia, Motagua). Even if Pacific advance they will get a Costa Rican or Honduran team in the quarter finals. Which should also be tough. Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An advantage is that though the playoff race could be tight, they don't have to obsess with winning the regular season. So far, to be sure, their results in busy weeks with travel for Concacaf have not been bad, but we'll see if that holds up. True, CR teams also have multiple phase leagues, so they are in a similar situation. If we get past Herediano, we play the return game at home in the next round. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and not just for this round, for the remainder of the bracket, barring upsets. Big underdogs for this matchup, but Pacific has a chance. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I just updated my spreadsheet that tracks the CONCACAF Club Index (but I have no idea how it will be used going forward, even less so than normal, so I won't bother updating the thread I have on it) and I noticed a couple things. 1. There are 2 teams named Alianza in the competition this year. They could meet in the quarter-finals, which would be fun. One is from Panama, and the other from El Salvador. 2. Verdes from Belize drew both games in the first round. Club teams from Belize had lost every game in CONCACAF competition for 6 years before that. Their last positive results were way back in 2015-16 Champions League when there was a 3 team group stage (they actually tied a Mexican team and beat a Panamanian team, both at home). 3. Whoever made the table for CONCACAF Club Index points on Wikipedia made a bunch of mistakes (unless the CONCACAF document that is linked to the Wikipedia entry has changed since).
