I watched the game on Sunday night, Toluca is NOT the best team to send to the CCC. They won because 2 Monterrey players were gone. Anyone can win if the opposition is 2 men down and the score is tied.
Toluca are the masters of the home and away series. they have 5 championships in the last 12 years i believe
I'm going to go with New England... Usually, MLS teams stink at this competition due to A) the timing of the whole thing, coming in our off-season and B) the fact the the teams represented are often gutted after salary cap issues. However, this time the Revolution will be pretty much intact and will have more of its key players in match shape due to so many getting called in to the National team camp and subsequent friendly matches in January and February.
they wont beat alajuela trust me...alajuela is pretty strong ... i wanna see a Carlos Hernandez goal those r beautiful
I see your optimism has returned... In my opinion both MLS teams will struggle to get past the first round. At best one of them will make the semis, but it ends there.
what the Hell Ill say my team. everyone laughed at my job when i told them LA was gonna win it back in 2001. Ill Let all the pompous MFL Fans laugh here too. If by some wierd way we win ill do all the laughing cheers
I cant wait till the purple monster eats all of u.... Heres some of our girls who will cheer us on....
Well, i don't know if i would call it optimisim. I think NE will go out in the first round and LA because of a couple things will have a coinflip chance of beating Saprissa. LA is about the only MLS side that i think could do anything in a knock out compotition. They have a pretty decent track record in the CCC and if this would start latter like say in April i would give them the same odds as the Costa Rican teams to win it. Still, i would be shocked if America doesn't win.
I wouldn't say it like that, but NE is at a severe disadvantage in this match because they will not get a true home game. alajuela is pretty decent, they won the CCC in 2004, but barely got by San Jose in the first round 3-2. In fact alajuela was very lucky to not have lost 4-0 or 5-0 in that return leg at Spartan because SJ was all up in their ass that game. I like LA's chances over NE because LA is a proven tournement team.
Your right, for some reason i thought they won 2-0 in that leg. Might be thinking of the Fire game against Saprissa that was 3-2.
but we don't have to alajuela is stronger than any mls team i do think LA has a chance of beating saprissa, but only if landy cakes plays, and if hartman loses weight, and if saprissa ends up selling their best players
