Crew take down mighty NYC




-------

Concacaf Leage 

The CPL team, Pacific out of Victoria BC, defeated the Jamaican team by a combined 6-0. The Belize team also won thier opening round game, for perhaps the first time since ELA started this thread. 

Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica all had their lone opening round team win, so they combine for 9 of the 16 remaining teams. They each had two teams with an opening round bye. 

The only other country with more than one team remaining is Guatemala, who went 1-1 in the opening round and they had one team with a first round bye, so they have two teams that are still alive. 

The Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Nicaragua each have one team that is still alive, but only because they each had a team with a first round bye. They went a combined 0-4 in their opening round match ups. 

The Concacaf League tournament will take a week off, but then they will play the round of 16 over the final two full weeks of August; one leg each week. That round is huge, as 6 of the 8 winners will get a Champions League bid. So it's basically a pure elimination round. Here's the bracket:

Concacaf League 

The first leg of the sweet 16 was last week, and the second leg is this week. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_CONCACAF_League#Round_of_16

The CPL team lost 1-0 on the road in the first leg, so they are still very much in this thing. 

The Belize team conversely lost 2-0 at home, so they are pretty much screwed. 

The DR team lost 1-0 at home, so they are behind the 8 ball. 

The Nicaraguan team won 1-0 on the road, so that's an underdog country in good shape. 

Several other match ups between several C American powerhouse countries eliminating each other. Six of the eight winners will earn Champions League bids.

US Open Cup

The USL was thwarted in their attempt to get a champions league bid for just the second time in their history. The 1999 Rochester Rhinos will be partying like the 72 Dolphins do whenever the last undefeated team goes down. Orlando wins 3-0. 

Once the second leg of the Concacaf League quarterfinal round wraps up next week, the entire 2023 champions league field will be set except for the final three US bids, which will go to the MLS Cup winner as well as the top team in each conference in the final regular season standings.

2023 Champions League

After the conclusion of the Concacaf League Quarterfinals the entire field is set except for the final three (out of four) USA spots. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_CONCACAF_Champions_League#Teams

The Mexican quartet has been set for a while now, with their top team that won both fall and spring championships making their Champions League debut. 

Canada has the Whitecaps, making their second ever appearance. 

The Caribbean's lone representation is the Haitian team that won their qualifying tournament. 

Honduras hogged three of the six Central American bids by advancing all three of their teams to the Concacaf League semifinals. Panama, Costa Rica and El Salvador are picking up the table scraps, with one team each. Costa Rica is the only one that survived the Concacaf League quarterfinal round. 

The USA already has Orlando through the US Open Cup. The other three are up for grabs. LA and Philly each own a 7 "point" lead atop their respective conference races, but there's a ways to go. Then the fourth and final USA bid will go the the MLS Cup winner (ideally).
