2019 CONCACAF Champions League Thread

The Toluca fans were applauding Russell as he was subbed off.

And there are the ole chants for SKC.

 

Did Busio make the 18?

 

I love Mexican soccer fans. Really. I do. I hate the teams they support, but they're alright by me.

Now they olés come for SKC and the ******** goal kicks for their own keeper.

They don't take shit from their teams.

 

The fans have turned. Damn

 

No

 

That is freaking hilarious. Props to them for having a sense of humor in a beatdown.

 

Same 18 as last week except for that single change. Croizet in the 18 instead of Busio.

 

Do we realize what happened all within a 30 second period? Toluca fans OLEd their own team, booed when the ref apparently missed a corner for KC and gave their own team a goal kick, and then yelled THAT WORD to their own keeper taking the goal kick. I mean, wow!

 

That, however, was not a good offsides call.

 

Also less discreet ones. Like changing up the structure of the tournament itself to ensure you get the results you want. And apparently what CONCACAF wants is just as many LMX v MLS series as they can possibly get, so I also doubt that they're gonna go ask the ref to fix games to thwart that outcome.

 

Kind of funny... Univision announcers have absolutely no interest in pronouncing the SKC names correctly

 

Kelyn Rowe coming on to play in the first away Champions League game of his career. Being able to sub him in for either Gutierrez or Espinoza is going to be huge this year.

 

Volume UP for this one. ⬆️🔊

Turned the knife in Toluca's back.

Totally brutal.

 

Warshaw noticed this last week, but SKC are again playing in a 3-4-3 with Besler-Fontas-Zusi as the back 3, with Sinovic playing much higher up the field.

And it nearly results in another goal as Salloi nails one off the post.

 

That's okay. Max Bretos never could pronounce SKC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin's name correctly back when Kerry was with the USMNT.

 

This must be how Drago felt

 

I think the same of Salloi. If everyone stays healthy, I think SKC could be really good this year.

 

Hurtado can do that?

 

WOW, Hurtado almost had a golazo

 

What the hell, you can't play San Zusi like that!

 

Ok, how does the ref not give a yellow for that outright kick to the leg of Zusi a couple minutes back? I know the game is over, but damn.

 

Talking about how this is the worst loss for a Mexican team against a MLS team now ...

 

Announcers saying 500+ passes from the Blue Barcelona tonight

 

Could be a reference that both Ilie and Fontas are former Barca B players.
