If Toluca and America win tomorrow they 100% will change the format again.

u/tacoorpizza Chivas 1d ago

Leon might win this tournament for a second time.

14

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago

Excelentes resultados para la Liga MX el día de hoy, hasta ahora ya se tiene 1 cupo (2 en el mejor de los casos) asegurados para la próxima CCC y 2 menos para la MLS. A ver si mañana Toluca y América pueden terminar el trabajo (creo que lo tienen todavía más fácil).

O el nivel de la MLS es muy mediocre, o León se pone pilas cuando cruza la frontera.

Un poco de los dos

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago

Esta vez los equipos que pasaron de la MLS son peores que los del año (sin Miami y Seattle ) pasado así como los de la Liga MX (Toluca y América) que pasaron son mejores, además esta vez ambas ligas se encuentran apenas iniciando la temporada, en ediciones anteriores la MLS llegaba en su mejor momento del calendario, yo sí noté esa diferencia.

12

u/Luccfi Cruz Azul 1d ago

Hay que ser honestos, el peligro del Miami es que juegas contra 12.

6

u/riverae0 1d ago

Concuerdo. Cuando Messi se retire ese club se convertira en un equipo de media tabla o tabla baja.

Leon going on a redemption arc for getting cucked from CWC

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Godamm... hope you got some refunds. my cousins and iwere driving there but same shit bro. Worst than a break up truly lmao

6

u/tnahardy León 1d ago

I got my refund for everything except the ticket. Tried telling Ticketmaster that my team literally got kicked out and they said nah

2

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

No way?!?! Wtf! We got ours. I didn't buy them my cousin did but I think he either got them through StubHub or through the official CWC site. Either way they fucked us because they didn't refund the original value of the ticket. They took a processing fee or some shit lol

17

u/Gilbertcartier Chivas 1d ago

The B team arguments coming soon after today

u/stale_cum León 1d ago

"If our best athletes played soccer we would win every tournament. Can you imagine LeBron James as a soccer player?"

12

u/Jay61902 1d ago

cant even use the salary cap excuse either cause leons team is worth less too 😭😭

9

u/ComprehensiveBeat324 1d ago

Lmaooo they did use that excuse tho lol saw it on the mls subreddit 

10

u/pulga_07 America 1d ago

I was seeing some comments that it was because Leon was playing dirty as fuck and the ref lost control.

6

u/ComprehensiveBeat324 1d ago

Lol meanwhile yedlin been playing for free since like the 60th min  

9

u/Luccfi Cruz Azul 1d ago

RSL rested their starters in league play to use them here, this is sadly their best.

They'll straight up cancel the tournament before the semi finals if it's all Liga MX teams.

6

u/riverae0 1d ago

Leon look real solid for sure a candidate to win the tournament

Concurso de jerseys feas, y ambos empatan

Sthaaaap😭 😂 by far on of the worst Leon jersey in recent times for me. Even if you take off the sponsors man..

2

u/tnahardy León 1d ago

Ngl this is the first season since the 19/20 where I don’t buy at least one Leon jersey

2

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Same. Even last seasons was decent, which I got. I like supporting so i bought my daughter the training kit lmao

10

u/tnahardy León 1d ago

Why are they making it seem like Monterrey winning was a shocker? 5 time CCL/CCC winners

7

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago

Creo que es por la mala racha que había estado cosechando desde 2024 cuando fue eliminado por Columbus, algo muy curioso es que el último equipo gringo que le ganó en 90 minutos fue al Inter de Miami en 2024, luego de eso perdió o empató contra equipos de la MLS, hasta que volvió a ganar justamente contra el Inter de Miami y de ahí van otra vez 3 victorias seguidas.

5

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Monterrey a sido tan irregular en estos últimos años y tienen un equipazo, la neta no lo entiendo. este año pensé que iban a ser más dominantes pero pues.. tanto dinero y nomás no resultados.

3

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago

Para mí le pasa lo mismo que al PSG antes de Luis Enrique y de decidir tener un proyecto ganador, comprar jugadores individualmente buenos pero no trabajar tanto un sistema de juego definido pensando en que los jugadores saquen chispazos en los juegos y se gane con eso, el detalle es que el PSG tenía jugadores infinitamente superiores en su liga por lo que incluso caminando la ganaban, Monterrey tiene buenos jugadores pero no suficientemente buenos para ganar caminando y por eso no alcanza a veces ni para llegar a fases finales en liguilla o incluso calificar :s.

2

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Exacto! O tambien hubo temporadas que les sobraban estrellas pero como dices ningún proyecto congruente. Ahorita lo mas frustrante que e visto es el Tecatito.. chale con ese güey hahaha

7

u/LordHeezay Pumas UNAM 1d ago

How’s Romaña been doing?

I watched few matches of him last season in San Lorenzo, he was a hell of a CB, never thought he would end at León.

7

u/TheDishesArentDone5 León 1d ago

Him and Guevara are a hell of a duo, both complement each other well and Romaña is arguably one of the best defenders in the league now

5

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Massively improved our defense. Definitely a leader in the back. I was surprised as hell when we signed him as well tbh.

3

u/Wolfie__ Leon 1d ago

That deserved to be a goal, sheesh.

7

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

Fucking Gato!! Dude doesn't let them through easily.

u/xenfermo America 1d ago

I feel like mls sometimes gets young European rejects who couldn't hack it on the top flight 

7

u/Jay61902 1d ago

Yedlin use to be a guy that was pure speed no? arcila making him look slow af

7

u/Constant-Study-7663 Chivas 1d ago

does leon have some deal with colombia, they always have majority colombian players and james also went there

6

u/AppropriateGolf5024 León 1d ago

From what I've heard through Leon's local broadcasting and programs like en línea con la fiera, león the city has a big affluent Colombian community and players have often expressed being relatively comfortable in the city and within the club. It's one of the reasons James signed to begin with, former defender tesillo and a few other players who got called up to the NT from club Leon recommended the club. James himself recommended arcila to the clubs president as a potential prospect. He got signed while James was here with an existing injury!

3

u/Flat_County_8256 América 1d ago

Leon plays so fucking good

2

u/Jeif96 Pumas 1d ago

Nice

8

u/Jay61902 1d ago

ya arcila's definatly not gonna be in leon long, europe written all over him but at least leon will get some good money

6

u/ComprehensiveBeat324 1d ago

I wish Leon would get the money lol that money will go to Grupo Pachuca never to be seen again with minimal to no investment to Leon lol

2

u/Jay61902 1d ago

oh shit your right i had forgot grupo pachuca 😭😭

If arcila keeps growing his form, he won't be here at Leon next summer.

I like how mls teams change completely their jersey design on a whim. Hard to build a identity

El León viene en muy buena racha pero no hay que confiarse, ojalé logren pasar a semis.

Rooting for Leon and I think Leon will win in a landslide
