December 21th is the draw for groups and who Leon will play in the pre Elimination round.

Feeling real good about our Mexican teams chances in this tournament.

South Americans will have to travel:
All the way north to Tijuana and then play in a synthetic field
Or face the high elevation in Toluca
Or head to Leon with a stadium that will be sold out all the time

Yea, i agree

All 3 teams are in great form, unlike bunch of other times when you get teams like san luis or some other team in crappy form

Hopefully they can carry their current form to south america

1 Good thing about Leon, if they make it to the later rounds they could barrow some of the better Pachuca players.

That's a great point. The fake turf didn't really help Chivas at all though.

Group 1

Barcelona
Nacional de Uruguay
Boca Juniors
Toluca


Group 5

Corinthians
San Jose de Oruro
Millonarios
Club Tijuana


Leon vs Deportes Iquique repechaje

Leon vs. Iquique should be pretty good.

Grupo Pachuca takes International competition very seriously, so I am confident Leon will make the group.

rooting for Toluca/Xolos to make it the farthest but I hope Leon do well too.

True, but Mexico teams have to travel more frequently. Ever been on a 10 hour flight? Every other week is 10 hour flight I believe. It is very hard for Mexico teams.

The whole thing so far..

At what time; is it gonna be on television?

Lets just worry about these teams bringing there 1st teams

Err... Is this 2010? They only played the final at Omnilife, since it hadn't been built till the match against Inter. Last year they got eliminated in the group stages with their fake turf and all.

20:45 ET

foxsports for me

Good game so far.

0 -1 Iquique

I think Leon will at least level it.

What's with Marquez being on the bench? Was he subbed out because he committed an error that lead to conceding the goal? Just started watching...

They were saying injury... He called for the sub.

links motherfockers or Baysic's your slime of the forever...

Wasn't able to see how they conceded the goal, but it looks like he's out with a hamstring injury.

From what I saw, Leon pretty much dominated, yet are losing 1 - 0. Deportes Iquique playing good defense, but they have to run out of gas sometime.

D. Iquique #10 is pretty good.
