Good.
Also, the same three teams that were given a shot at the Concacaf League (and a backdoor into the Concacaf Champions League). The byes are one thing, and the better teams could prevail through that (and they did). But restricting the Concacaf League qualifying to just those same three was unnecessary and blatant favouritism. Picking three darling clubs based on the dates that paperwork was signed is a joke.

To be honest, I like the narrative of Forge being the league's so-called marquee franchise and Cavalry crapping on it for them. The league needs rivalries and supporters who are annoyed about stuff. Makes for engaged supporters.
