11/12 CCL: CF Monterrey - Santos Laguna (FINAL) [R]

This final looks even, both teams are looking great, I'm going to go with Monterrey to win it again.

This will be epic. 2 potent offenses will collide. The Goal Scientist vs The Sucker. Herc vs Aldo. Oswald vs Johnathan. A rematch from 2010, which was for a Group Stage berth in this CCL. And now this tie is to determine a quarterfinal berth for the CWC.

The other Mex teams will want these 2 to tire out so they can be soft in the playoffs. It will be interesting.

When was the last CCC/L Final that featured the actual 2 best teams in the region? It wasn't last year. Or 2010 or 2009. I don't think Saprissa was among the top 2 in 2008. Maybe 2007 when Guad and Pach collided?

Santos will roll...

I don't know if Santos will roll but they can win this. I like the fact they have the second leg at home.

The best final of the CCL era.

Monterrey still favorites though

I think Tigres is better than Santos man

Thats cheap for such a good game.

Hey you get a better beer deal @ Santos 17.50 vs 25.00

Everything's more expensive in Monterrey.

Baloy forgot what he just bought, I wonder what the wife will say.

Banter with Enrique Borja

Santos resting some guys vs. America:

@clubsantoslagun: Becerra, Galindo, Crosas, Ochoa, Ludueña, Ibáñez, Salinas, Hoyos, Mares, Morales y C. Ramírez

TV diagram as Ramirez forward w/Ochoa.

Goals on Sunday (FSC) will have a small segment on the Concacaf Final, I guess that they do cover some English language games, so I guess I should not be surprised.

Yes they did. Suazo came in as late sub.

Pretty good on FSC, Barca-Chelsea replay then Santos-Monterrey for the CCL final.

The way Barcelona is playing I am sure they won 4-0

lol. Bunkerball never works! Losing strategy every time!

This thread is quiet, I'm assuming everyone's busy getting the chips and dips ready for the big game.

Is Peralta hurt or is he out w/yellow card accumulation or something?

Lineups from @clubsantoslagun:

Monterrey: Orozco, Basanta, Meza, Chávez, Mier, Pérez, Zavala, Reyna, Suazo, Cardozo y de Nigris

@clubsantoslagun: Sánchez, Estrada, Baloy, Galindo, Mares, C. Ramírez, Crosas, Rodríguez, Suárez, Quintero y Gómez

In other news, Blue Cross is up 2 - 1; I do hear El Nacional is playing with lots of cantera players.

Pretty decent game so far.

Still 0 - 0
