    Well LA will face Necaxa and Columbus is through, but I wish that concacaf would take the tournament seriously enough to post better info on the official site...

    http://www.concacaf.com/competitions/info.page/champsleague/

    There isn't even a bracket there with when games are being played. I'm guessing all the remaining games are on wednesday?

    At least there are game reports.

    Hopefully we'll see Columbus vs LA in the semifinal which could make for an interesting April where they would meet on the 5th and then the 9th and then the 16th! And let's not forget that last season ended with LA at Columbus for the Open Cup title.

    Although I wouldn't be surprised if MLS tried to make the game on the 5th count for both league and CCC...

    Hmmmm one too many margaritas for me. 8)

    Yeah it would be semifinals and if I would have scrolled down farther I would have at least seen the original schedule. Still be nice if they posted brackets with results or something...

    Thanks I've been checking that site recently and found it more informative than concacaf. But for those who haven't seen it it at least spells things out in a nice manner 8)

    Tree is right, this is a good site for updated info on MLS and related competitions such as CCC.

    revs got beaten 4-0.

    2 PK's...which feeds the conspiracy theory.

    good thing the revs have home field next game. :rolleyes:

    I think it feeds the interntionally in-experienced theory.

    That was going to be my joke.

    Steve Nicol actualy goes on record in a Costa Rican newspaper this morning questioning the quality (or lack there-of) of officiating.

    However, the Revolution lost to the better team on the night. LDA exploited gaps in the Revolution defense through the excellent speed of their forwards, also playing a strong possession game. The Revolution came out playing defensively in what's been described as a 5-4-1, playing balls forward through Ralston or long balls from the back to Twellman. The Revolution apparently lacked cohesion in the middle of the field, although Costa Rican press reports both cite Franchino and Pierce for their strong (literally and figuratively) play.

    LDA is in top form, they played their first-team players, and had it not been for some excellent saves from Adin Brown it would seem the scoreline could have been much worse.

    It's safe to say few if any Revolution supporters expect the Revolution to advance at this point. To be honest, I really feel for the players: with both LA and Columbus advancing through wins at home, the Revolution have one more game in San Jose.

    Revs got beat by the superior team, and the Revolution continue to struggle this pre-season.
