2018 CONCACAF Champions League Thread

Prove it

 

This one must be a tough one for Chilangos: on the one hand, they're not going to want Chivas having the CCL title; on the other, they wouldn't want the streak broken and a MLS team winning.

Bet they're wishing both lose somehow.

 

This is a huge night for Toronto sports. A championship game, an elimination game and a huge nba game 5. Must be a hell of a night for Toronto fans.

 

Fo sho

 

Bradley playing CB. Looks like a 4-4-2 diamond for TFC

 

Bradley playing cb?

 

Literally all of Toronto's CBs are injured right now?

Welp, Toronto FC had a great run.

 

Oh man, expectations are low now. Even lower than they were before, if that's possible.

 

That is a funky line-up. Van Der Wiel isn't really a CB either. I guess Hasler is DM?
Should be wild.

 

Pretty much. I'm told Drew Moor picked up a knock on Mon. Eriq Zavaleta on the bench but have a minor knock. Nick Hagglund out for a while. van der Wiel has been playing CB for TFC but really is a RB. Jason Hernandez recently signed for TFC, but I think he's not on the list of eligible players for CCL.

 

Ugh...I was really looking forward to watching this game and just saw the starting 11 for TFC.

 

******** MLSE.

 

Iron man Drew injured? Really?

 

Father Time always gets his man. And he did tear his ACL once. Oh, that weird heart condition thing.

 

How serious are these "knocks"? This might affect TFC's regular season as well, and they already pretty much threw a few games focusing on CCL.

 

If Jason Hernandez started, they might as well have just called the game and gave the trophy to Chivas.

Speaking of Hernandez, how many ex-Chivas USA players do they currently have.

By my count: 4 Players and 4 Coaches (1 of whom played for Chivas USA)

Jason Hernandez
Eriq Zavaleta
Marky Delgado (Chivas USA HGP)
Ben Spencer (Chivas USA Academy)

Greg Vanney (Chivas USA Assistant Coach)
Robin Fraser (Chivas USA Head Coach)
Nick Theslof (Chivas USA Assistant Coach)
Jon Conway (Chivas USA Goalkeeper)

TFC better win this for ChivaFighter (RIP)

 

1 for 1 so far today.

 

The guy who would have helped the most was Hagglund with the aerial game. I wonder if he can play a few minutes. Surprised not to see him back by now.

Looks like:
-------------gio-----jozy
--------------Vazquez
-------Osorio---------Delgado
---------------Bradley
---Auro---morgan---VandL---Hasler
--------------GK Bono

ps edit - but I see Bradley dropping deep in defense and Hasler or Auro pressing forward

 

MLS4RSL LEGGO

 

Let's do this. Go Reds.

 

This seems really off. Ashtone Morgan at CB, Auro at LB, and Hasler at RB seems really dumb.

Do you watch TFC?
