    There's no game this weekend, the Houston match got postponed, so they can rest up and Marsch can play his first choice squad.

    Awesome. Surprised it was postponed. Was it just cause of CCL or what? And if it was postponed, why didn't March throw Rzats or Kaku out there last night, then??

    No idea, but he seems to be integrating Kaku slowly into the first team.

    Hey, I now live in the Buffalo area so I was wondering, should both RBNY and TFC win, where is the final played?

    What club hosts what leg will be determined by performance in earlier rounds. Wikipedia doesn't specify if that includes all three rounds before the Final. If it includes all three rounds before the Final, TFC will host the second leg if they don't lose and the Red Bulls advance. Chivas will host the second leg if they advance. If America advances, they will have 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and a goal differential of +11 or better. The best the Red Bulls can do is the same record, and they would need to win by 6 goals to get to +11.

    Is the final not a two-legged affair?

    The Final is two legs. I was talking about which club hosts the second leg.

    I read through the CCL regulations, and the format is exactly the same as the Concacaf League. All three rounds will be taken into account.

    On that note, Chivas are currently on 12 points, while all the other semifinalists are on 10.

    TFC can lose and still advance, whereas Red Bulls and America need to win to have a chance. To the extent that it matters, the final semi results, not just goals scored, will have a huge say in hosting position.

    Here are the probabilities based on the 5Dimes odds:

    Red Bulls win: 40.8%
    Draw: 28.9%
    Chivas win: 30.3%

    That's for the second leg. I haven't seen betting odds in between legs for which club will advance.

    Same old Metros. The more things change the more they stay the same.
     
    Dyvel repped this.

    I do think this team could be very good -- but some head scratching decisions from Jesse (BWP not playing as forward, Kaku not starting). The difference ended up being Chivas took advantage of one loose pass from us, and we did nothing with 2-3 they gave us. I think TFC should handle them easily if Jozy is fit.

    Stupid mistakes? Check.

    Can’t bury chances? Check.

    Getting out coached? Check.

    Same old Metro.

    That just pisses me off more.

    Is Marsch the guy or does it even matter, we are just cursed to be almost runs. Just 1B4ID, that is where I am at with this club.
