One thing at a time. If yesterday's USA-Haiti game taught us anything, it's not to underestimate Caribbean oppostion...
I believe there is audio for the Chicago game, but you could always check the Chicago forum to make sure.

It could very well happen too. One of my best friends is a Saprissa fan so that'd be a fun one for us to fight over
I'm sure some of the central american stations found on this site will carry some of the games: http://www.cablevirtual.com Those that feel like subscribing to the premium membership ($15 a month) might also be able to watch live video feed for the games (the Rev fans were able to do it last year). Other than that I believe the best we can hope for is tape-delayed broadcasts on Telemundo (however only games involving either Monterrey or Pachuca).
The bracket link in the first post shows that they will face each other in the next round if they both advance. Hard to predict what will happen given the differing styles and strengths of the legs. If I had to bet, I probably would bet that the Mexican teams will be the most succesful given the money in that league now and their success in the Liberatores. Hoping for San Jose given the Canadian content there. When Canada grows up, we want to be in the Champions league too!

One thing puzzles me about tomorrow's games. How come Saprissa will play their home leg at the Estadio Nacional rather than at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa?

Jabloteh strikes first in the 8th minute. Ian Gray plays a ball from the midfield stripe to Cornell Glenn, who gathers the pass and fires from the top of the 18 yard box, beating Ring to the upper right-hand netting and giving the home side a quick 1-0 lead. Glenn nets his second in four minutes - 2-0 Jabloteh. Glenn stole the ball from Curtin and went in on a breakaway, beating Ring to give San Juan an early two-goal advantage. http://www.chicago-fire.com/mtracker.asp
37th minute Glenn finishes a first-half hat trick. Whitley makes a run towards the top of the area and lays off for Glenn, who rifles a shot from 18 yards out that hit the left post and into the back of the net. Jabloteh takes a commanding 3-0 lead.
Fire gets one back. With two defenders in front of him, Jaqua took the ball to the upper right corner of the 18 yard box, where he sent in a cross that was deflected by ex-Columbus Crew defender Ansl Elcock, helping Chicago climb back into the match. Jabloteh 3-1.
How embarrassing! It's one thing to lose to a Mexican team by 3 goals but Trinadadian. Egg on the face of the Chicago Fire.
