I stand corrected. Maybe TFC will play in Copa Libertadores there someday soon.

This will be the single biggest game an MLS club team has ever played, if we get the result. A Mexican team has never lost to an MLS team in the semis (or the Final, obviously)

The Azteca. The...

Accusing police of assault is more than schtick, it is a serious thing. Doing it falsely is a serious criminal offence.

Police have enough trouble at soccer games as it is, and a charge like that...

Almost no chance of this. The teams on the other side have a better record in the tournament overall. This is one reason why Vanney was upset about that late PK at Tigres.

If Chivas win or tie at...

I would bet money that they will go somewhere in the US (eg Denver) to get acclimated, then fly in the day before.

Spending multiple days in Mexico City is just inviting disruption.

Man if MLSE were ever going to subsidize an airplane or two for supporters, this is the game.

The Azteca. I can hardly believe it.

Interesting story about the Menez signing

*knocks wood*

I kind of wanted Seattle in the final. I think it would have been amusing to kick their sorry asses again.

But that's not what we are talking about.

There is a vast difference between, say, a club team in Costa Rica, and a club team in Panama.

An MLS team could lose to a Costa Rican team. It should...

This is getting silly. You are implying an accusation that no one is making. Which bothers me. So I guess I better come back in and point a couple of things out.

Panama produce excellent...

I remember that. They wore Juve kit.

Having a background in lower leagues is not the same thing as actually being in a lower league.
People should just click on the links and decide for themselves. This is my last post on this, I have...

C'mon. Get serious. Even the worst MLS team is in a different universe than a Panamanian team. No team in this league should ever lose to them without feeling shame.

Most of these guys are so...

How can Dallas go out to some Panamanian team?

Other than us, is any MLS team taking this tournament seriously?

FC Dallas qualified as both 2016 U.S. Open champion and Supporters' Shield winner, opening a berth for Colorado, the 2016 Supporters' Shield runners-up.

I love my team... but if I go to that Colorado game, it'll be last minute, and only if we have above average weather.

I have been freezing since the Seattle game!

The whole upper deck was $10 or something for the Galaxy game.

Both these Colorado games should be moved to a warm weather neutral site (Florida?).

I noticed that too. Svensson had something like tights on.

It's really about the magnitude of the event.

Cold weather games have always been around, but not when the potential/likelihood was for minus 10. It almost never gets that cold in England. Germany...

This isn't an explanation, this is just describing walruses thumping chests.

There is no interest that Concacaf should have in seeing these games played at a suboptimal time that reduces the gate....

Why on earth aren’t those Colorado games on weekend afternoons? It's fricking February...

There's no Mexican conflict, and no TV issue (these games will get tiny TV ratings)

Not even 7pm, but...

OK, we have to get through Colorado, but then Tigres at BMO in early March? Holy shit I can hardly wait.

Jeez, guys, this is great. Tigres are the best team in Mexico.

I don’t care when we play them, I just want to play them!

btw Monterrey is a relatively safe, fun away trip
