Tigres and Pachuca are strong clubs. But with LAFC and Union on the MLS side, I don't know. The Union didn't lose one single player during the off season. LAFC lost some key players. We'll see...
Great video!! The only clubs I could think of winning the title would be Tigres, Pachuca, LAFC, and Union. Although my theory would be Pachuca vs LAFC (liga mx champ vs mls champ) but they're also other good teams as well. It's very hard to predict but I'm excited to see who gets to be champions! I'm hoping LAFC or another mls club to win this year!!
@@Anthony.LaRosa No problem. And true, but did you see Austin FC game. I expect them to win easily, idk what just happened. It's quite an embarrassment for our league tbh. But hopefully they get a comeback at home!
@@official_jaybg Very shocking. But, I do believe they will have a good chance at the comeback. With more of their first team and a home atmosphere, they’re not out yet!
@@Anthony.LaRosa as i was watching the way i was thinking on your prediction on Austin, i know they're not going to play like these next game but 3 goals against is 3 goals , unbelievable
Since LAFC have now played their first regular season game, I think I can confidently say that Philly has the best chance of making a deep CCL run this year. LAFC still has a solid chance, don't get me wrong, but they came dangerously close to blowing a 3-goal lead in their second half against the Timbers. That kind of performance isn't what you want to bring against Alajuelense. But as long as one MLS team makes it to the finals, I'll be happy.
@@edsal5528 That's a good question! I didn't watch that game live, I just finished combing the highlights. And from that, I think it says more about Miami improving than it does Philly declining. Taylor's off-the-bench goal was phenomenal, and Callender made some critical saves. Definitely not the result Philly fans would have liked, but they also had a dominant 4-1 win over Columbus in week 1, so I wouldn't worry about them *too* much.
@@SoundsideSherry Philly had multiple opportunities to score, Miami just had two absolutely fantastic golazos to seal the deal. We didn't convert on the chances we had. For the second game of the season though I'm not super worried. I agree with your assessment of LAFC, though. No Gareth Bale this year to "Bale" you out (pun intended lol). I was at the final in LA last year supporting the Union and I knew when I saw him get subbed on in extra time we were in trouble.
I'm not really informed about this competition right now because where I live there isn't much info about CONCACAF in general But if there isn't, they should add a Group Stage for more clubs to get in the tournament and as a result make it more competitive As well as give the current champion's a place in the next edition Also I kinda have the feeling that Pachuca is gonna win this
I’m a Orlando City fan but I don’t think so we will win a CONCACAF cup since our attacking system is weak. We aren’t LAFC or Galaxy they spend millions on player like Bale and chicharito .
To be honest, it's a toss up right now. LAFC did lose a couple of key players from last season but they still look dangerous with the start of this season. The Union looked great on their first match but lost to Miami. Their strength is that they have every player from last season. I will lean more towards the Union taking it from the MLS side.
It's a shame the Whitecaps have such a bad coach. The team has some good individual players, but Vanni isn't capable of putting, and keeping, it all together.
Bro as a Jamaican that lives on the island this format of the CCL is very stupid and catered to usa and Mexico and to a lesser extent canada to be successful. Think they should implement the euafa champions league format with early qualification rounds where smaller clubs frm smaller countries can compete to try get into the CCL group stages and having the winners qualify automatically and having 3rd place teams frm each group drop to the CONCACAF leave and re instating the CONCACAF league tournament and implement the europa league format. I think the concacaf league was more competitive than CCL based on if big teams are their smaller teams will upset them and it was to me in my eyes a more levelled playing field, frm Canada down to French Guyana we watch “real champions league” and were accustomed to that format and every confederation uses that format and it’s always entreating while the CCL is just a dick measuring contest with the us and mexico 🤦🏽♂️. Us and Mexico gets 5 or 6 spots while everyone else gets 1 or and the Cfu that has the most representation gets 1 spot how fair is that ???
It fair because the best carribean teams can't even beat the worst mls/liga mx. It would be so boring to watch carribean teams equal to second division teams no offense.
@@edsal5528 no offence to you but watching these David vs Goliath matchups is kinda (for me) an essential part of big international club competitions like this

I'm a Pumas fan and i laughed when you called us a powerhouse. I'm glad someone thinks so lol
Only an American who doesn’t watch liga mx would say this (I’m a pumas fan too)
Going by history… sure. It’s possible. They are certainly very historic and popular.
But as of the last decade? Nope.
Pobres Pumas alv :(
@@Tonynotsoprano Agreed. As a UNAM fan, i really don't consider them a "powerhouse"
He probably said that because they made final last year
I'm not too versed in Liga MX, so I'll take note that they're not a powerhouse! They have the name recognition though!
Great breakdown!!! Been looking for content like this
Absolutely 💯...👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Would love OCSC to get through but a tough ask, still not convinced that Oscar has what it takes to get the most from our attack
DALE DALE DALE 🖤 & 💛
Let's push to be the 2nd MLS team to win this!
Good video, never really payed attention to the CCL before but want to get into it now. Very informative vid.
Tigres and Pachuca are strong clubs. But with LAFC and Union on the MLS side, I don't know. The Union didn't lose one single player during the off season. LAFC lost some key players. We'll see...
I’m an Austin fan and I hope we make it far
I hope y’all make it far coming from a Dynamo fan. Can’t wait to go see one of y’all’s game. I love yalls kit
It would be amazing to see them take out some Liga MX opposition!
@@Anthony.LaRosa for sure man. So we can show how much the MLS has grown
@@Anthony.LaRosa couldn't beat a team from Haiti 💀
You could've just said "on the attack for Orlando, there is none" and just saved some time
Facu Torres ?
In due time!

Absolutely! You never know what’s going to happen! Can’t believe what I’m seeing in this Austin/Violette match!
@@Anthony.LaRosa as i was watching the way i was thinking on your prediction on Austin, i know they're not going to play like these next game but 3 goals against is 3 goals , unbelievable
@@Anthony.LaRosa what I like about these cup is that the other clubs play their best , they all want to beat the MLS teams and La Liga MX teams
'may be the strongest non mexican or american club'
Olimpia says otherwise 💪🦁
Edit: damn it we chocked 😔
Jajaja we saw that in Gdl
How can Seattle not be qualified when they one last year? Unbelievable.
I agree. Winners should auto qualify!
Alianza would have better chances if not for the really important injuries and the horrible state of the pitch. I'm still hopeful for a win at home
Awesome to know! I try my best to find information about the Central American clubs but it’s a bit difficult. Wishing you the best!
The biggest team in Central América is CD Olimpia, and about Real España the killer is Ramiro Rocca.
I'm a fire fan, but I've got Philly taking it this year.
I would love a MLS CUP rematch on CONCACAF CL
We should play the Libertardores
Travel would make this infeasible, been saying it forever
I think Lafc is looking good
What about the podcast with Danny?
It was a lot of work last year, and it never really grew. We both loved it, but figured it was best to focus on our other content!
Nobody predicted a dog running onto the field, stealing the ball.

I will take dangerously close with backups in over a straight blowout with starters against Miami lmao
Don't understand how the winners don't automatically qualify! just doesn't make sense
Cause they didn't qualify
Should the LA RAM get qualification for the 23 super bowl because they won the super bowl in 22? No, you still need to qualify to enter.
@@theonlydiego1 this isn’t American football….. It’s normal football
@@theonlydiego1 super bowl is the final of the league, not qualification to a Global event. if it was Global event then yes they would get in.
@@NoName-rq6bg straight to the point I like
part 2 please
I hope anybody but Tigres gets crowned champion jajaja
My club OCSC will try to stop them but no guarantee
Here in Brazil we love Tigres because of their victory on Palmeiras 😂
Well let's see what happens.
Mario Antonio???
3er game Olimpia vs Philadelpia Olimpia Win ⚽️

Also I kinda have the feeling that Pachuca is gonna win this
Pretty sure they're expanding and adding a group stage next year, I'm with you on that
No group stage yet, but they're looking at expanding! Also, the champions should auto qualify 100%
I’m a Orlando City fan but I don’t think so we will win a CONCACAF cup since our attacking system is weak. We aren’t LAFC or Galaxy they spend millions on player like Bale and chicharito .
Or Orlando City only cares about making the owners filthy richy rich
I think you guys have some good pieces, but a few more things need to develop
Austin took the hard L. 🫥
If MLS takes it again it'll be Philly imo. I'm betting it's going back to Liga MX though.
To be honest, it's a toss up right now. LAFC did lose a couple of key players from last season but they still look dangerous with the start of this season. The Union looked great on their first match but lost to Miami. Their strength is that they have every player from last season. I will lean more towards the Union taking it from the MLS side.
Yeah I’m not positive that we’ll get it again. But, I think with how the bracket is, we have a good chance to at least make the final
Viollette winning 2-0 at halftime
3-0😂
lmao
If tigres is able to beat Pachuca, tigres will win it. If not, Pachuca wins it
With LAFC and Union on the other side. That's going to be a challenge for either Tigres or Pachuca.
That what it feels like
They should atleast put in 1 or 2 teams from the Canadian Premier league cause the Canadian Championship is always won by a Canadian MLS team
I agree, and I'm hoping that comes soon when the tournament expands! Loved seeing Forge play in it last year
It's a shame the Whitecaps have such a bad coach. The team has some good individual players, but Vanni isn't capable of putting, and keeping, it all together.
