CD Arabe Unido vs Real Salt Lake (Wed September 22, 2010 @ 8pm)

[Carefree]

^^^ That is, assuming we win both our games...

Everyone seems to be taking for granted that Cruz Azul is a sure thing, and that RSL is the team to beat. Well, right now RSL is top of the group, and I think they have a very good chance of beating CA at home. The miracle we need if for Arabe to somehow get a point in Mexico and second place is ours.

Depends on what team they choose to field against CA.
They ARE the best team in this group hands down.
The rest? Pretty even
I still like our chances of getting 2nd though.

We can get max points at home, if we beat Salt Lake, we can compensate some of that goal difference, and obviously have to beat Arabe Unido. I bet that last game is going to be reminescent of the match against Puerto Rico last year. Cruz Azul are unstoppable when trying, and they are really going to be pressured to win in Salt Lake, its not that far-fetched.

Very true. I'm just a little nervous about RSL at home. We'll have to really get behind the team, and hopefully they'll show up and give all they have to win the game.

Next Tuesday is the more important game as we have to beat the best team who are not gonna lay back just yet.
In our favour RSL will be tired from traveling so all the more reason to step on their fucking throat early and often.

We'll probably win next week, and keep people excited for renewals, and then when we play the last game after the renewal deadline, it will be business as usual...which means...well you know...

LOL I went to atdhe.net looking for a working stream thinking the game started @ 10PM then saw this thread with all the scoring updates.

[king dave]

RSL host Colorado Saturday and have 2 and a half days til they play here.
They will be tired and really pissed off if we go fucking mental on them.
KD.

If we could get nascarguy in an immigration/customs uniform at PIA when RSL arrives, he could really, really get the team pissed with immigration questions and delay their arrivalLOL.

We have to beat Arabe Unido and RSL at home. Cruz Azul MUST beat RSL away - or we're out. RSL is now with 9 points, but a better goal difference than us. I don't like our chances, but obviously we'll have to go for the second spot with all that we have to give.

We're in if any of the following happen:

We win both home games and:

(1) Arabe takes a point in Mexico (almost impossible)
(2) We beat RSL by enough to reverse the goal difference (after the "Miracle in Montreal," anything is possible. RSL's priority is the league).
(3) Cruz Azul beats RSL at home (difficult, but not impossible).

Our odds aren't great, but we're alive.

beat RSL at home....is a tough task...we will need our full team..not lineups we had in our 2 prievious CL games....

If we beat San JOSE on saturday....i think we'll throw the CL away and go full throttle to make the playoffs...hope not....but it seems thats the way the team looks to be heading..

if we beat RSL...only thing we have going for us..They play CRUZ in the final game...no push over by any means...

Its hard to take when your team takes 4 of 6 points against Mexigan giants...and still most likely wont get out of the group!

(2) If we beat RSL 3-0 at home, then we tie on head to head goal diff, and advance on head to head road goals.

(3) If RSL wins at home, Cruz will have 10 points, like us, and we hold the tie breaker on them (4 points earned to 1). Either team can win that last match.
