Wondolwowski putting SJ up over MTL. If this score stands, every game in the group will have gone 1-0 to the home team. (Though I hope SJ piles it on.) America/Sporting San Miguelito currently 0-0.
Result so far Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Real Esteli America 3-0 Sporting San Miguelito San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 Montreal Impact
So theres no more FSC to show the games , and the fox1 isnt showing CCL it doesnt seem, or am i missing something?
Los Angeles was on Fox Sports 2 yesterday. Univision doesn't show games but Univision Deportes does. Univision Deportes showed Caledonia-Toluca. Telefutura changed names to UniMas.
Not yet officially, but I'm not about to drop money on Comunicaciones scoring four goals at the Nemesio Diez.
Group 5 table is rather amusing at the moment (well, to me at least) P W D L F A GS PTS1. Montreal 4 2 0 2 3 4 -1 6 (CAN NOT PROGRESS) ----------------------------------------- 2. Heredia 3 2 0 1 2 2 0 6 (Win or Draw to progress) 3. San Jose 3 1 0 2 3 2 +1 3 (Needs win to progress) Montreal over Heredia based on head-to-head (2-1) How often do you see a table where the team on top can not progress to the next stage?! [sorry, the table looks crap, cant get the column to align]
My mistake: if Comunicaciones win by two, they can jump Toluca on aggregate. Otherwise, a one-goal victory would do for the cremas if they score at least three goals (to grab the advantage on away-goals).
America and Chivas the only 2 liga MX teams eliminated in the groups of the CCL. So much for the "big two"
Why did you have to jinx Toluca? After you claimed Monterrey was going to get 3rd place at the FIFA CWC they started playing like shit. Just don't say anything nice about TJ or Blue cross. They don't need your bad luck.
Last night I was thinking that Heredia had more of a chance to qualify than Alajuelense because they were playing at home. However, I think I was looking at it the wrong way. The team with the advantage is always the team that only needs to preserve the result. Heredia needed a win, Alajuense only needed to keep goals out. Last year, Chivas and Real Salt Lake crashed because of this problem also.
When comparing Team X who is at home and needs a win to Team Y who is away and needs a draw, keep in mind that the scenarios would fit together if the teams were playing each other. Every game results in: A. A home win or B. An away win or draw but never both Therefore to evaluate which team is in the better position I would look at what percent of all games are home wins. Here are the results for some leagues: EPL 2012-2013: 166 home wins (43.7%) MLS 2013 so far: 159 home wins (50.8%) Mexican Clausura 2013: 72 home wins (47.1%) The mean of the three percentages is 47.2% If the probability of a home win is less than 50%, then the team that is away and needs a draw is in better shape like you said, but the percentages are near even.
Do you have those numbers for champion's league games? Seems like home field advantage is more pronounced in continental play.
2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League: 25 home wins out of 46 (54.3%) 2013-14 UEFA Champions League: 58 home wins out of 136 (42.6%)
So it looks like Cruz Azul will visit the San Jose Earthquakes on March 11 or 12. Cruz Azul being Team 1 and San Jose being Team 8 according to the tournament regulations.
