Are you implying that Santos and Monterrey are better than The Greatest Football Club in the history of the sport; Seattle Sounders FC??? OMG! I'm shocked that such ignorance exists!
I've heard that the Sounders play the beautiful game while the other MLS teams are dirty and play thug ball.
Seattle, LA, or Heredi-whateverthey'reinCostaRicaandthat'dbeakillerSpringBreaktrip. I don't want no part of no Liga MX teams until semis. Although Herediano won't be a cake-walk either the way they handled RSL.
Hey, I don't see where the law says you can't be a superclub or THE CLUB in the U.S. even if you can't get past the first weekend of the MLS playoffs.
A player that the mighty Seattle Sounders didn't think good enough to play for them, Hercules Gomez, just scored a golazo for the 1-0 win for Santos over Toronto.
There was only one Superclub ever in MLS-the Metrostars (or so Alexi said). Hell, they are the MLS side to win a prestigious European Cup (La Manga).
After tonight's games (wins by Seattle, Santos, and Tigres), would I be correct in saying that we can now finish no higher than 6th and will definitely play either Monterrey, Santos, or Seattle? My tired brain may not have calculated that right this late at night, but that's the way it looks to me.
You are correct sir. Although the chances of Houston dropping to 8th seed are not very high. The Gals would have to at least tie and Xelaju would have to win at Guadalajara. Bruce Arena will likely field a reserve side, and Xelaju can advance with a 2-1 loss if I'm reading the standings correctly.
We need LA to lose and for Chivas to win. We'd end up in sixth and Seattle in third. That's our most favorable matchup, I think.
Tigres destroying alajuelense was bad for us. Would have only needed one result tomorrow instead of both. I'm thinking we play santos. ******** it, we have to beat one of the big Mexican teams if we're gonna win it all anyway.
How dare you, sir, disgrace the great and mighty Red Bulls by not mentioning their second European trophy! The most coveted of European trophies: Emirates Cup!

Updated Quarterfinal standings after games of 10/24: 1. Monterrey 12pts (+15gd) 2. Santos 12pts (+12gd) 3. Seattle 12pts (+7gd) 4. Herediano 10pts (+3gd) 5. UANL Tigres 8pts (+9gd) 6. Houston 8pts (+6gd) 7. Los Angeles 7pts (+7gd) 8. Xelaju 7pts (+2gd) Teams in red still have games to play.
LA and Chivas probably win which will make the standing (and seeding for next round) 1. Monterrey 2. Santos 3. Seattle 4. LA 5. Herediano 6. Houston 7. Tigres 8. Chivas If this happens I guess we will play Seattle next round for home and away. It also will probably be a MLS / MSL matchup in both of semifinal series games. Good for TV.
I don't think that's right. You have Houston above Tigres. They are level on points and Tigres has a better g.d. If LA and Chivas win the table will look like this: 1. Monterrey 12pts (+15gd) 2. Santos 12pts (+12gd) 3. Seattle 12pts (+7gd) 4. Los Angeles 10pts (+7gd) 5. Herediano 10pts (+3gd) 6. UANL Tigres 8pts (+9gd) 7. Houston 8pts (+6gd) 8. Guadalajara 7pts (+2gd) We would play Santos.
