Right, but most leagues have all of their teams in their county.  It's kind of weird to have MLS teams in Canada.  Like if the EPL had one Scottish team, I imagine that club would always qualify for UEFA Champions League as the Scottish rep.  I would assume it would be league based, not country the team happens to be located in based.
epl has had a few welsh clubs before. in fact the efl has several welsh and scottish teams currently, though all below epl level. and some in reverse for those countries too. and in 08, cardiff city played in the fa cup final which comes with uefa qualification. they changed the rules to allow for welsh teams to qualify through the efl. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/cardiff_city/7350681.stm
and if i'm reading that correctly, cardiff could also have qualified for uefa through welsh competitions as well.

what would have been interesting to see is if this team had managed to win the french cup, and thus qualify for europa cup. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59277738

quick synopsis: all french teams are eligible for french cup, including territories overseas. this team from tahiti made it to a round that saw them play a team located in france. 20000 mile round trip. they lost 2-0.

The Conference semifinals are set, one of which will be competing against Thanksgiving Dinner in the worst time slot imaginable. Orlando and Seattle were eliminated on Tue.

Both Conference Champions lose right out of the gate, setting up an unlikely pair of Conference Finals.

Seeds 2 and 4 in the East, 4 and 7 in the West.

Is it arbitrary who winds up playing for the Canadian clubs, considering it's all the same league?  Do they have first shot at eligible Canadians?
BTW, FWIW, I did read that the Canadian MLS teams are each required to start three Canadian players throughout the Canadian Tournament.

2022 Concacaf Champions League 

Gets underway on Feb 15, and we have a bracket. A bracket that you'll have to open in a new tab so that you can zoom in and read it, but a bracket nonetheless. 






But before that is the 2021 Fifa Club World Cup with the 2021 Champions League winners from each continent Feb 3-12.

concacaf wcq kicks back up this week. usmnt has 3 games, must have at least 6 points from this round. 7+ preferred, but canada playing really well so far this cycle could be hard to get result there.

6 points leaves us with needing only 3 from final round to have a 90%+ chance of auto qualifying and a 100% chance to at least be in the playoff.

7 points leaves us needing only 4 points from final round to have a 99%+ chance to auto qualify.

9 points puts us at the 90/100% chance mentioned above before final round, and leaves us needing only 4 points to 100% auto qualify.

1-4 points and we'll need at least 6 points in final round.

0 points and we'll need all 9 from final round to have hope.

Well, it was frustrating, but mainly because El Salvador did not play like a team that needed 3 to keep any slight hopes alive.  Couple of late injuries are of concern, and now we have to go play on artificial turf in freezing conditions.

Costa Rica beating Panama did put a bit of a gap between the top 3 and #4.  Flipped result would have kept the top 4 teams within a 2 point window, but an 8 point gap from #4 to #5.  Would put the USA is a great spot to at least make the playoff, but not an ideal spot to get one of the three automatic spots.

Big game Sunday.  Find a way to get 3 points there, with the last game of this window at home against last place Honduras, and you should be in great shape.

That last window is not where you want to NEED points for sure.
