2019 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League thread (México vs. USA and USA vs. Panamá)

[Crash Lance]

A new edition of the Scotiabank Champions League is upon us.

For all of the clubs in the continent of North America, this is the single most important tournament. The winner is definitely the best club in the entire continent.

All of the teams in CONCACAF want to win this title so that they can enter the FIFA Club World Cup which takes place every December.

The Round of 16 starts in February 2019. This year, the Round of 16 consists of four clubs from México, four clubs from USA, two clubs from Costa Rica, one club from Honduras, one club from Canada, one club from El Salvador, one club from Panamá, one club from Guatemala, and one club from República Dominicana (Dominican Republic). Remember, every club has a 2-match series (home and away).

In all seriousness, my instincts tell me that this year will be very good for the clubs in United States of America.

After all, anything is possible.
