Aug 3 MLS and CCL games

[Yohan]

Wednesday, Aug 3
MLS
SKC - RSL 8:30 pm ET
CHI - PHI 9 pm ET
POR - LAG 10:30 pm ET

CCL
FCD - Allianza 8 pm ET
SEA - San Francisco 10 pm ET

[Yohan]

SKC vs RSL game should be interesting as SKC is one of hottest teams right now. Keep an eye on FCD vs Allianza game as FCD is leaving 1-0 on aggregate, and the winner of this game will join TFC for CCL group stage

[habstfc]

Seattle has to win tonight correct?

[kodiakTFC]

Seattle has to win tonight correct?

Seattle is down 1-0 on aggregate. They need to win and be careful of the other team potting a goal.

[rocker]

I'm gonna watch that Dallas game tonight, mainly because we may have to face this Allianza (unlikely, but still). Plus it's good to watch Dallas more closely in case they do indeed make our group. Normally when they play us, I'm watching us more than them, if you know what i mean.

It'll also be interesting to see if there's an appearance by Maicon Santos.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

yeah im curious to see how he fits in to their team

[menefreghista]

I don't think Santos can play, as the rosters would have to be set before the round started.

I do think he can play in the group stage though.

Who would people prefer TFC to play in the group stage? An MLS side that is familiar? Or a central american side that might require long travel and bad stadium conditions? I'm leaning towards Dallas.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

depends on how shit the central american side is tbh.
I do think we can overcome a shit team in a loud stadium with shitty reffing.
Tougher to beat a great team in front of noone with shitty reffing

[rocker]

Closest travel and good conditions is best, i think, so that would be Dallas.

But if Allianza isn't that good, it would be safer to play them... cuz you'll get an easier home opponent.

[TFC1154ever]

Watch the highlights of the dallas game, there not shit at all. They should of won that game 3-0. I would rather dallas.

[kodiakTFC]

I'd rather play Dallas, I know their good but they'll have some crazy match congestion and have their priorities on MLS.

[Oldtimer]

Correct.




I do think he can play in the group stage though.


Close, he can be added in the Championship Stage (quarter-finals).

Anyone have a link for FC Dallas vs Alianza FC?

Dallas temp at 8pm tonight - 35c

[Canada72]

Just saw this post on bigsoccer, looks like a hot one in Dallas

"I just read on the FC Dallas site that all of the shady West side will be General Admission and all of the sunny East side will be closed for Wednesday's game."

thanks OT

[Yohan]

hrm. no Santos in starting line up for FCD. probably due to squad registration rule

[tfcleeds]

^Nope, he won't be playing tonight.

[Oldtimer]

dive by Dallas player... he knows how to CONCACAF.

[Yohan]

lol. sounds like there's 5 guys in FCD supporters section

[Redpunkfiddle]

Mics sound like they are pinned to some dallas guy's lapel. Really gotta scrape to find the sound from this lot.

[ag futbol]

lol. sounds like there's 5 guys in FCD supporters section
They have made a thread to address our concerns in this area ... lol

Wow. It's completely empty at Pizza Hut Park.

[Oldtimer]

Dallas looking dangerous.

The 3 guys chanting are trying very hard... too hard.

[Oldtimer]

Wow. It's completely empty at Pizza Hut Park.

They closed off one side of the stadium due to sun and heat.

[Dbl_D]

we get more fans at an academy match

edit: i stand corrected with the pan after the goal ;)

[Oldtimer]

AFC > Esteli

[Oldtimer]

FCD scores... we can pretty well count them in our group.

[Oldtimer]

RSL/KC match much better attended.

[Redpunkfiddle]

Injury to "Jackson" looks like it may keep him out of our match in a few weeks.

[Yohan]

Roger Espinoza puts up SKC 1-0 against RSL. Rimando should have been a little better

[Yohan]

Twat Bunbury pounces on a rebound to put SKC up 2-0

[TFCREDNWHITE]

Update on the Dallas game?

[Couchy81]

Update on the Dallas game?

1-0 FCD 55th min

[Brooker]

haha almost 2-0. what a give away. or an amazing pass.

[redcard]

wow didnt dallas offer tickets for $5 for this match? and they have 2 fans in the stadium!!!

i guess when you under value a match people think its a worthless match to go to!

[Yohan]

Roger Espinoza sent off for a pretty stupid tackle from behind on the Hippy. RSL should be stroking the ball around better...

[TFCRegina]

In dallas's case, they could charge normal prices. 2 fans would still show up.

As mentioned a couple of times above: not many people watching in Dallas, but more than you would think based on the broadcast. Everybody in the stadium is sitting on the camera side:

i read that but still for $5 tickets I would expect a significant amount of bums in those seats and i doubt there was more than 2000 in the entire stadium.

[Yohan]

mid week game, 110 degree heat, long drive outside the city, against some random CA team... in texas... lol

Wow, that's the total number? That's bad, I agree.

Fernandez header gives Seattle a 1-0 lead (1-1 agg)

God I hate that marching band so much.

He's starting to pay off as a good signing for Seattle. Wonder when TFC is going to pick up some good SA talent...

[MartinUtd]

Yeah he looked dangerous early on. I wouldn't hold out for TFC getting any South American's though. We seem to be even more Europe/MLS oriented with the current staff.

Don't really care personally where TFC get their talent, as long as they are quality players. Although I do think Central America is under-scouted.

[TFC USA]

What a fucking goal.

1-0 Portland.

[Yohan]

What a fucking goal.

1-0 Portland.
I rate Chabala too... versatile fullback... he's going to be a solid MLSer

[pekduck]

link to LAG vs PTFC anyone?

[TFC USA]

2-0 Portland and my nipples are hard.

Too bad they'll blow it and it'll end up 6-2 LA>

[Yohan]

Man, this game is nuts. Spencer must have really lit a fire on their asses after TFC game

[pekduck]

thanks!

[LesH]

Oh man, both the Seattle and Portland feeds are incomparably better than I had yesterday for TFC.
Is it just me or others too in same situation?

[MartinUtd]

Just realized it's the same Roberto Brown playing for San Fran that was at the Impact recently.

[MartinUtd]

LOL.. Jaqua misses a sitter, rebound goes to Montero who puts it straight at the keeper.

[LesH]

LOL, shocking how many chances Seattle is missing, just in 10 minutes since I'm watching.

[MartinUtd]

Veetle is always among the best feeds. It's just luck of the draw if someone is streaming TFC on there.

[TFC USA]

Seattle needs a Koevermans type of player :D

[MartinUtd]

1-0 FT (1-1 agg)

So we're off to extra time. I think I'll check out that Portland game for a bit.

[ManUtd4ever]

Seattle had so many chances to bury SF in the dying minutes of regulation. If the match goes to penalty kicks, they might regret it.

[Yohan]

3-0 Portland. Eric Brunner with a header off a corner

I'd say Kenny Cooper is also having a good game

[Strikers]

Just got home and now watching the Seattle game.

Also checked out the highlights of the Dallas Alianza game. Was unaware that Dallas had a stadium ban against them.:hump::D

[MarkoftheDrink]

LA getting worked in PDX. 3-0 now.

Lol @ the announcer who said LA has the best back four in MLS. De La Garza and Franklin have looked like shit.

[Strikers]

Goal Seattle,

[MarkoftheDrink]

Seattle scores. 2-1 on agg from Jaqua.

[ManUtd4ever]

There it is. 2-1 Seattle.

[MartinUtd]

I missed the goals in both games while flipping between them. So fuck it I'm going to bed.

[Strikers]

Great save by the San Fransico keeper to keep it 2 -1

[ManUtd4ever]

Incredible save by the SF keeper on the FK...

[Strikers]

First part of extra time done, only 15 mins left to go.

[ManUtd4ever]

LA getting worked in PDX. 3-0 now.

Lol @ the announcer who said LA has the best back four in MLS. De La Garza and Franklin have looked like shit.

TFC's draw in Portland seems like a better result now. :D

[Brooker]

Keller is such a cunt.

[Strikers]

Wow can't believe Seattle stooping that low with the time wasting what a disgrace.

[Yohan]

3-0 final. hopefully a statement game for portland

[Huyton]

And Seattle goes through, winning 2-0 on the night.

[Strikers]

Game Over Seatlle are in the group stage

[ManUtd4ever]

Well done Seattle. The SF keeper was phenomenal tonight.

Ya gotta luv this Portland club, and their supporters, not just the Timber Army, there can't be that many of them.
Kicking the kings of MLS 3-0
Full stadium on a Wednesday night.
People lined up since 10:30am to get seats. (they have gen admission ?) if so great idea.
Were missing that passion at BMO, not from RPB, U-SEC, or NEE.
But fan support in general, shit team for 5 yrs. or not.
Watching this game tonight and last Saturday's brought back the passion of year 1, when we never won or scored too often, but BMO was always a full house and fans from all sections made a lot of noise for our new club.

Good on ya Portland.

:drum::flare::scarf::flare::drum:

[ManUtd4ever]

All five MLS clubs are in the group stage for the first time in CCL history.

[reggie]

anybody watch the barca chivas (mex) game 4 to 1 chivas,2 fucking cracker goals from #8 on chivas..

[MartinUtd]

anybody watch the barca chivas (mex) game 4 to 1 chivas,2 fucking cracker goals from #8 on chivas..

I clicked on a link that said Barcelona vs Chivas last night and I got some AC Milan match from back when Ronaldinho was on the team :(

[Detroit_TFC]

That second Marcos Fabian goal is magic. Check it out on YouTube or whereever. The ball seems to just hang in midair for the kick. As good a goal as you'll see this year.

I'm finding lots of reasons lately to start following the Mexican Primera more closely.
