Watching red bulls , and BWP scores , nice to see a well coached team play strong this early in the season . Where can we find a good coach , yes I said it . We so deserve a pro . Houston won as well last night . Another well coached team . Own goal from his kick actually .

SKC spanking Toluca 3-0 at home.
“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
Anybody have a stream for any of the CCL games tonight?
Don't know about you guys but I'm rooting hard for anyone not MLS. Especially Atlanta.
currently 3-1.

Just a reminder that the Atlanta return leg is not in their usual stadium. (not available due to a monster dirt bike thing or something)
All its going to take is 1 away goal & we all know Atlanta can ship goals.
*******
Some of the most vocal ATL supporters already on the "well we didn't REALLY take this seriously" excuse.
Meanwhile Houston New York and KC all , well coached btw are making MLS proud . And good on them I have nothing against Atlanta they have a top notch tactical coach and it will be interesting to see how well they perform this year . Since the only exciting soccer we will see this year is from the opposition , we should support the successful clubs .

I'm curious who are you looking to get respect from? Mexico respects the league much more than they did just 5 years ago, TFC helped with that last year no doubt and some other runs MLS teams have made i'm sure have. Quality of players in the league have helped. I dont know, personally I don't want any MLS team to win except TFC, especially if they are going to be the first to win CCL.
Atlanta after losing in Costa Rica against Herediano 3-1 comes back and easily disposes Heridiano 4-0 at home to advance to the quarterfinals.
Please correct me if im wrong however after the 1st round of Concacaf, all MLS teams advanced except TFC
So TFC wins MLS Cup 2017 and in 2018 doesn’t even make the playoffs almost has one of the worst regular season of all teams in the MLS in 2018, TFC makes it all the way to the CONCACAF Champions League Final and loses on PKS in the final and in 2019 crashes out and gets embarrassed to a team from the Panamanian league in the first round incredible but so TFC lol just embarrassing!
I was thinking about this and I think I found a little bit of a solution for MLS teams to be able to compete in the league as well as CONCACAF.
For teams in the CL, have them play each other in league play for the first month of the season as much as possible. That way they can virtually both play B teams against each other) and no one is giving up points for free. With 5 teams in CL, it leaves one team out per week, but at least you can say that 4 of your first 5 games will be against teams competing in Champions League (or at least were supposed to be in the CL). It isn't perfect, but it at least should help. The only thing now is it leaves a team like Toronto who didn't advance to have an advantage by playing teams that are still in CONCACAF, but that only affects a game or two
Red bulls got tfc’d tonight ....out run , and missed their best chances . Santos sharp and on the ball , Red Bulls tired and surprised by the mid season form of Santos . Was hoping for better ....2-0, tough hill to climb . Hopefully the same doesn’t hold true for other MLS hopefuls or the Concacaf push is simply too many obstacles for MLS teams ...at seasons start .

Well it looks like the next two MLS teams are gone without much of a fight....Santos and Tigres are likely home winners after both winning 2-0 on the road.....let's see if Atlanta can step up and beat Monterrey or at least stay competitive and get an away goal tomorrow night....KC beating Independiente (despite our horrific performance) will prove nothing to me until they beat a top Mexican team home and away ---- I am still not convinced anyone could have done what TFC did last year in terms of the gauntlet of teams they had to play for the last three rounds and perform as highly as we did.....obviously if Atlanta or KC make it to the Finals, it will clearly not be as difficult a road as we had to do....if NYRB could beat Santos then Tigres then Monterrey that's the kind of gauntlet we had to do and they won't likely make it past the first real "hurdle"......I think we will look back on that 2017 TFC run from March 2017 through April 2018 as one of the best of all time --- I still don't think Atlanta or NYRB of 2018-2019 are as good as that team and will accomplish as much.....
Tigres want this one bad - their disappointment last year was palpable & they knew they blew it in the 1st away leg.
I think we might be the last MLS team to be not taken seriously in CCL for awhile.
