Red Bulls In 2016-2017 CONCACAF Champions League [R]

EvanJ · May 30, 2016

The Red Bulls will play Alianza of El Salvador and Antigua of Guatemala. The Red Bulls avoided more successful clubs in Pot 2 like Vancouver, Olimpia, Arabe Union, Deportivo Saprissa, and Herediano. Vote in the poll on how you think the Red Bulls will do.

I see RBNY winning their two homes games and winning one and losing one on the road.

I want to agree here. This is tough though. I will be curious to see how JM forms his squad for these matches.

http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/06/29/201617-concacaf-champions-league-schedule-announced has the schedule:

Wednesday August 3: Home to Antigua CFC of Guatemala at 8:00 P.M.
Tuesday August 16: at Alianza of El Salvador at 10:00 P.M.
Matchday 3 off while Alianza of El Salvador hosts Antigua CFC of Guatemala on Tuesday August 23 at 8:00 P.M.
Thursday September 15: Home to Alianza of El Salvador at 8:00 P.M.
Tuesday September 27: at Antigua CFC of Guatemala at 8:00 P.M.
Matchday 6 off while Antigua CFC of Guatemala hosts Alianza of El Salvador on Tuesday October 18 at 10:00 P.M.

The Red Bulls have one of their two away games late at 10:00 P.M. The August 3 game will be while the Yankees are playing the Mets, and the September 15 and September 27 games will be while the Yankees are playing the Red Sox. If the Red Bulls have not clinched or been eliminated before Matchday 6, it will be a late night seeing how the Antigua CFC vs. Alianza game ends. In 2014-2015, the Red Bulls had the first two matchdays off. This time every club plays two of the first three matchdays and two of the last three matchdays. Alianza has both of their home games before both of their away games.

The Red Bulls start the CCL in 6 days and there has not been an announcement of TV for that game.

Good performance last night. Really liked the way our young guys played. Watching a game on Facebook was strange though.

Was this game televised? The only channel that I found covering it was galavision and it was listed in the on-screen guide but it was not shown during the time slot indicated.

Fox channels stopped showing the CONCACAF Champions League, so the only TV is in Spanish, and the Red Bulls won't be on live TV if they're playing at the same time as a Liga MX club. This game was not televised in Spanish because a Copa MX game was chosen over it. I had the same thing as you with the guide listing the game that wasn't shown. I think all of the CONCACAF Champions League are shown online through Facebook, but I don't know any details and I haven't tried to watch any games that way. People in the MLS: News & Analysis forum could probably tell you more. The Red Bulls have two Group Stage games left (I don't know if they will be on TV in Spanish or not), and if they make the Knockout Rounds I'm expecting all of those games to be shown live in Spanish.

Highlights for the game in ES? Thanks!

Its on Univision Deportes if you get it, and they're actually playing it live this time instead of at 2AM where they spoiled the score in the ticker... Absolutely hate when sports networks are so lazy that they spoil their own events.

Fifa to suspend Guatemala teams over 'political interference'

Not sure how this will affect the CCL.

The winner of this game moves on . If game ends 0-0 RB move on if it ends 1-1 they draw one of the teams from a hat , if it ends 2-2 or higher Alianza moves on

Looking forward to the match tonight. I got to see Alianza play about 13 years ago in the Salvadoran league final in the national stadium. Was in town for a friends wedding and he bought tickets for everyone who made the trip (most of us were soccer players). 20 gringos showing up caught some attention and we were interviewed for local radio at half time. Great atmosphere, cheap and plentiful beer. We all bought scarves and knock-off shirts and the fans treated us great, especially after they won. High fives and hugs everywhere.

Kljestan was subbed on in the 62nd minute and scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute.

Woodrow · Sep 16, 2016

Well, they left it until the very end, but they pulled off a deserved win. After multiple opportunities to score that went wasted or were denied by desperate Alianza defending, some of the starters subbed on a helped turn the tide. Sacha may be proving himself the one indispensable Red Bull. There's a clear drop off from him to any other mid in that position. Not Davis or Felipe or Grella can fill his shoes. If there's room for a player like Basuljevic, it is because the team needs to groom an eventual replacement (or even credible stand-in) for Kljestan.

EvanJ · Sep 16, 2016

The CCL highlights from CONCACAF used to have music and no announcers. This video had an announcer.

EvanJ · Sep 27, 2016

Here are the probabilities for tonight's game based on the Bet365 odds:

Antigua of Guatemala win: 26.1%
Draw: 26.9%
Red Bulls win: 47.0%

The game will be on Univision Deportes at 8:00 P.M.

goindownsouth · Sep 27, 2016

And the pitch tonight looks GREAT... mercy.

Mixed XI out there tonight. Fighting for a draw would be ideal.
