Philly are good enough to go very deep.

Agreed - the semis are in October so an in form Philly vs. Club America in preseason form is a good possibility.
Chandler Bing is doing some job behind the Philly bench
Curtin outcoached Heinze & Heinze didn't like it.
Meanwhile, ATL fans are all "But you can't do that" about CONCACAF dark arts - just two years removed from Tata Martino using them constantly.
It will prob be an all Mexican final
For all of our “failure” against Cruz Azul; what MLS team has beaten a Mexican side in this tournament? Just TFC! And we did it with about one half of a DP in our lineup (Altidore for 75 minutes in one game)....
So far no one has “overachieved“ yet in my opinion - if Portland loses, we will be the only one to do so with Philly being gifted a nice non-Mexican draw to the Semis...

4 months in LigaMx is a loooong time.
We are talking games in October.
I only watched the highlights but the two CA goals last night, from the run of play, were well defended but unstoppable.
Philly needs what we need to beat these teams, a bit of luck, to be healthy and at their best, and to catch them at least once on an off night.

Club America was also holding on to their dear life under Portland pressure for a lot of 2nd half in Azteca.
Any Mexican team can turn on turbo mode to crush an MLS team. But I really think Philly can take on this CA team.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
