Well at least the Reds will be getting an early start in that Mexico City elevation of 2,250 meters. Spoke with a few of the guys who did not dress this evening on the concourse and the Reds are heading down on Thursday. This should let them acclimate and be ready for next Tuesday. Plus America does have a road game this weekend in league play at Necaxa.

I actually find this a bit fascinating. I mean, I've never heard of anything like this before. I wonder if this had been planned a while in advance, or if they suspect something fishy might have been going on and so wanted to bring in a total outsider ...?

I feel bad for whatever Asian teams have to suffer through CONCACAF refereeing

I am definitely curious to see if there is visible difference in style with the ref in our next game and how that might affect the tempo.

I can't understand. Does anybody know enough Spanish to give us the gist of the discussion? It sounded like a more serious and less heated discussion compared to the Tigres post-mortem. All I could pick up is I think they admire Giovinco and maybe that Herrera shouldn't have said that stuff about Mexico looking to Europe than MLS?

I was wondering the same thing. It is a big stadium but will people show up for this game to try to make it intimidating for TFC? For the quarterfinal Tauro game at Azteca when I looked at the highlights it looked fairly empty with large covers on alot of the sections. Maybe a bunch of people were on the TV camera side. Didn't look too intimidating to me. Tigres stadium looked way more intimidating.

They got 66K and 56K in the Azteca for the first legs against Herediano in the semis and Montreal in the finals, respectively, in 2015. Both games on a Wednesday.

TFC have a lot more star power than Montreal or Herediano did.

btw in the semis that year, America got beat away at Herediano 3-0 in the first leg.... then waxed the Costa Ricans 6-0 in the second leg at the Azteca.

They won't sell the place out, btw they reduced capacity during recent renos and it seats 87,000 now. I was there last June for the Bradley goal in the MEX/USA World Cup qualifier. That was quite the atmosphere, but i will say that as crazy and intense as it was you don't get the bags of piss being thrown that we all like to talk about.

Its intimidating yes, its such a massive and impressive stadium even when empty. I'd guess 40,000-50,000 for next weeks game. I'd also guess we are ready to not let the atmosphere intimidate, Tigres was/is a better, louder and more intense atmosphere. If we can somehow score first, like Bradley did in that USA game then it would be absolutely massive.

The last time I heard something similar to this happening was way back in 1993 when CONCACAF brought in a UEFA German referee to officiate the Canada-Mexico WCQ at Varsity. The winner would win the qualifying group and advance directly to USA '94, and CONCACAF felt that there was no referee available within the confederation with the experience to handle such an important match.

The key is to go to Mexico City and not park the bus. We need to be aggressive with our counter attacks and try to get a goal. If that happens they'll have to score 4 to win the game, and that's going to be hard with us playing just as fast as them and we know how dangerous we can be on the counter. It's going to be a BIG night for Vanney with tactics being the dominating factor.

Agreed. We play at our best when we are using our assets to their full potential - and that means offense.

Yeah I'm not worried about the atmosphere. Our guys don't get intimidated. The altitude, though, is a bitch. But with us spending preseason in Mexico City and flying out Thursday to get acclimated we'll be as prepared as we can be.

I didn't watch the 2nd leg against Tigres until the very end, and when I turned it on Gignac got the PK.
Although Jozy scored against Columbus in the East final second leg the moment I got to the bar where I met Techno, and Jozy did it again 10 minutes after I arrived at the Cup watch party at Home & Away (here in Calgary).

Someone is really doing their home work. I haven't anticipated a game this much for ages. Last season in the MLS it was an expectation to win. No team in the world walks into Azteca and expecting to get a win never mind an easy one.

I was there two years ago for a game. It's a huge and intimidating place with a great atmosphere. But, to me the altitude will be a much bigger factor than the stadium. I run marathons. I was there for two weeks, and a normal easy run that I would just be cruising through here had huffing and puffing in Mexico City. It's a really big difference. I don't think being there since yesterday will make much difference to acclimation, at least in terms of physiological adaptations, and certainly any benefit of the earlier training will be long gone. A really important factor will be how well we can conserve.

El Diego
04-06-2018, 11:11 AM
I'm really not too sure what to make of the Azteca itself. Most of what we think of it is from the Mexican NT playing there. Who knows how it is with Club America playing there. By this I mean that when you look at Mexico's dominant record there, if they played those same teams in other Mexican stadiums I think Mexico would have a similar record because they are just a strong team. CA honestly did not seem super strong to me (relative to my expectations and Tigres, who are noticeably better). On a neutral pitch I think TFC wins 4, 4 draws, and CA wins 2.

Now, I do believe that the conditions are a real worry that can equalize things, and I'm not saying CA are a bad team by any means. But I think it is very doable for TFC.

Pachuca is a little over an hour drive to Mexico City. I’m sure the CA faithful can make the drive to pester the club if they wanted to. That said I’m interested to know what kind of security (if any) we’ve hired to curb these distractions leading up to Tuesday. Another thing I’ve been looking at are the ticket prices for this match. Current “cheap seats” are priced at 80 pesos ($5.60CAD). Seeing reports (unconfirmed) they will be dropped further to fill the building. As reference CA’s highest attended match this year is ~55,000

That preparation for both altitude and opponent has not stopped since the season began. In recent weeks, Toronto FC has been training with masks that simulate the altitude they will face on Tuesday. They also apparently have an outstanding amount of video on Club América, something that they’ve already likely taken advantage of in their home victory.

Even if we lose out, this ccl ride has been worth it, i have watched MLS closely this season and not one team comes close to scaring me or is on our level. Just being honest, not arrogant. Look around, not one dominant team in MLS . NYFC ? pfft ...not buying it. Reddit made a big deal over Sporting Kansas start and win over the Galaxy, we will wipe the floor with them as far as i can see. Trying to be unbiased but TFC really is a cut above, talent, style of play, etc...just better. Rest of league playing catch up.

Mexico City weather forecast:

It looks like a 90% chance of rain with 5-10mm expected. Almost like Toronto last week, but 19 degrees :)

Seems the odds makers are heavily favoring America

At William Hill they have
CA 64%
X 21%
TFC 15%

But when you allow TFC a 1 goal handicap, then the odds flatten out to
CA 39%
X 19%
TFC 42%

This puts it at a minimum 61% chance of seeing TFC advance.

We have to give it our all! It's important that we acknowledge the fact that we already have a 3-1 advantage going into this game! And, we have to play their style of game meaning they are in Mexico, and we have already played they're except we played a different team. Thus, we have to acknowledge the fact that, we have the ability to win, and be the best, because we are the best in the United States and Canada. We need to maintain our composure, and go in with the attitude, that we are the best, and that we won't take them lightly, simply because we love them, but we need to show them, that we are a strong Canadian side, and that we can get the job done.

I have a very nervous energy about this game. One that I haven't had since the ECF leg 2 game against the L'Impact 2 years ago. It is almost like a nervous tension. I think it is due to realizing we are possible 90 minutes from the final. If we score tonight I am confident we will go through. We cannot afford to sit back and absorb wave after wave, that is not our style. We need to dictate the pace of the game and make their backline as uncomfortable as possible.I don't think the pressure will get to the team. When you look down the roster, this team is filled with big game guys. VDW played in the WC final vs Spain, Bradley, Altidore and Vazquez are all very familiar with the Azteca, Seba has seen big crowds with his time at Juve, Mavinga has played in front of 90,000 multiple times. If they can keep guys like Delgado, Oso, Morgan and Bono calm and focused I like our chances. Win, Lose or Draw I am proud of the showing this team has had. With that being said, Lets win this fucking game!!!

I re-watched the first leg today to get primed. Didn't see it on TV previously since I was at the stadium on game day. Gave a good perspective on how good our passing was...most of the time. It looked really good. If we can cut out most of those bad passes in our third of the field it will go a long way to limiting their chances. Most of their chances came off those bad passes. Hopefully a better quality pitch is going to help that tonight. I can't concentrate at work. Is it game time yet?

Good


Non CONCACAF ref who likely wont put up with pantomime bullshit from Club America
They played on the weekend and picked up a key injury - we didn't
Scoring a single goal away (not outside the realm of possibility) makes it very tough for America to go through
Club America Azteca is not the El Tri Azteca

Bad

The Azetca is still a VERY imposing place to play
Altitude/pollution
America are still a great team
History


I'm thinking the good and bad kind of balance each each side of the ledger out.

Whatever happens I think that the Reds showing so well in this tournament this year considering they have had far and away the toughest task of any of the 16 competing clubs ahead of them when the tournament started speaks to the quality of the club both on and off the field. If this journey ends tonight, or goes on to the final next week we all should be very proud of our club to do what they have already done.

Hope they play hard, leave their lungs on the field and somehow find a way to have the good outweigh the bad.

Playing a little dangerously but holding the wave after wave. Not sure we can keep that up and 2nd half will get dirty ..guaranteed.

How many fucking best 11 starters we must play without?
Absolutely impossible task for TFC playing without 4 of their best 4 players? (Vazquez, Mavinga, Morrow, Altidore)
Hell no...

We couldn't have been more injury bitten to our most important players in this fucking season start... but still...

Now only one question remains:
Can TFC go the next 48 minutes (+3 will be added for sure...) without being scored on 4 times?

PS: I am fully expecting at least one of Osorio, Seba, Bradley, VDW to go down with an injury in the next 48 minutes.
Because this is the fucking way this fucking start of season has been going.

PS2:
- Great refereeing so far, with a CONCACAF referee would have been for sure 1-1 right now.
- Ibarguen seems to me America's most dangerous player by far.

PS4: Horribly bad streams tonight, it seems too many are based on go90.com, which is a big steaming pile of shit, the stream is more offline than runnning.

First row sports link number 3 is withing for me.

The announcers suck though. Seen like they know nothing about either team. So much dear air instead of the banter/information the usual commentators give.

You can thank Gilberto. Couldn't find the broad side of a cow's ass with a banjo when he was on the field but he did put in a good word for us on this so...

We need a better reference point up top. Really miss Altidore and not understanding what Rickets is offering here.

Auro is becoming my fav. He is only 22. The slide tackle and keeping ball in play vs tigres was world class and then waiving his finger Letting everyone know it wasn't out.i yearn for the day to have mavinga, auro, and VDW play consistently together
