SuperLiga Thread Part II [multiple Rs]

I had to go back to Superliga2007.com and I got a connection again.

 

Ching goes on. Perhaps to teach Jaqua how to shoot.

 

The announcers mentioned Ching

 

whew.... defensive break down met with a crappy shot... goal kick Houston...

 

Well, now that's certainly an opinion, but I utterly disagree. The SS is the most important of the domestic trophies IMHO as it's the one reflective of truly the best qwualift team since it takes into account performance over a lot of games, not just a handful. Feel free to value the MLS Cup more (I understand that rationale) but I don't get how anyone can consider the USOC a more important trophy than the SS -- it's games by by reserves against USL teams! Winning the USOC has nothing to do with being a good team and IMHO I'm glad that a victory there gets you into zero international competitions.

They got into 2 before the season, just like Houston (the winner of the other major domestic trophy in 2007). And they qualified for the third based on their performance in one of them. Either way, it was gonna be either Houston or DC in 3 competitions, so your complaint about seeing the same teams all the time should be directed at the setup, not the specific teams.

Is math a strong suit? They've won twice (beat Olimpia in both games). And a more accurate statement might be that they've gone 2-1-2 with the only loss being on the road in Mexico (1-0-2 at home, 1-1 on the road).

You do realize that Houston actually lost more matches in the CCC than DCU did, right?

Ahh, finally the crux of the matter. It's not really that DCU doesn't deserve to be in the competions, it's that you don't want to see them there. That's fine and your entitled to your opinion. Rott against DCU if you wish, it's your choice.

Just don't come on here and rant about the "unfair" process of team selection by simply citing how DCU has been in many competions. They've earned it by being successful in MLS (regular season and playoffs). Any other team could have done the same.

Don't get what this has to do with anything. Not only do style points not come into play when teams are chosen, but these selections were made a while ago.

Also, it's worth pointing out that the Sudamericana selection that you complain about was made in late May -- and at the time, DC had both a better record than Houston and was coming off a win against the Dynamo. So, using your criteria of "how a team looked at the time", DCU was probably the right choice at that point.

We have no idea if that is true. The only reference was on a blog. It may end up true, or it may be bogus. Why don't you wait until it is actually announced to condemn the decision?

 

Whatshisface replaces whosthatagain for Club America.

 

oh gosh, now I have to listen to Telefutura's announcer play with Ching's name

 

that was probably a PK... houston might have gotten a bit lucky there

 

whew, I thought he'd blow that as a penalty.

 

Lucky? They were owed a couple of lame calls at that point.

 

my thoughts exactly, but I never expect a game to actually come out even

 

Ching shouldn't have high-fived Jaqua on his way in. Now he's got whatever disease Jaqua had.

 

Looked clean to me..the tackle.

 

Here we going again.. Lots of chances come to nothing and we'll have another tie..

 

se apendio

 

My gosh Chingy....hopes that don't bite us in the arse.

 

Just keep it in the front third.

 

****. Offsides.

 

Is anyone else using their TiVo to sync up the english stream audio with the Telefutura broadcast?

 

Yeah. last night and tonight. With the line out from my PC to my stereo system, its just like a normal broadcast for me.

 

Wow. That could've been straight red and no card at all? WTF?

 

Ngwenya is taking a beating

 

How much stoppage is there? I didn't catch it.

EDIT - Never mind. Big props to Houston tonight. First shutout of the tournament.

 

I don't think it's been stated on the English commentary.

 

FT 1-0 to Houston.
