The defending ConCaCaf Champoins Los Tuzos del Pachuca play in Costa Rica against the Purple Monster of Saprissa tonight. the game will be on FSE at 9:30 pm. Place your bets !!!!!!!!!
El Monstruo Stadium is packed for this one. but Saprissa is missing their leading goal getter and their main guy in the middle Centeno. Line ups.... http://www.mediotiempo.com/concacaf/copa_campeones/2008/ficha.php?id_partido=25737 It's been 32 years that a Mexican team doesn't win in Costa Rica.
The Purple Barra is already singing "Vamos, que esta noche tenemos que ganar" And we're off !! Saprissa with the first shot by La Bala Gomez !!!
Pachuca comes from losing 5-2 to Puebla. Saprissa has lost their last four league matches. but all that means nothing to both teams because they're playing for a million dollar purse !!
Yeah, I'd rather you not mention that...it was pretty gruesome. Crazy week in primera, even San Luis took it to Santos.
Pachuca is doing what they wanted to do and control the ball, hide it from Saprissa. the Purple's are pressed for a victory infront of their home crowd. Second shot on goal for Saprissa snuff'd by Calero. 8' 0-0
Hehe Sorry about that. I can tell you Pachuca says it is not going to bunker down even though they don't like the fake grass. Corner Saprissa.......... Nada !! New corner for the Ticos......... Calero sends it away !!
Saprissa looks shaky in the back, they have turned it over in bad spots two times and let Caballero send the first Tuzo shot on goal. 14' 0-0
Oh my gosh !! Rey had a one on one against the Purple Goalie but made a halfass shot because he thought he was offsides............HE WASN'T !!!
Nerves might work against the Ticos. they want to do too much too fast. Pachuca is just waiting for the right time. 18' 0-0
On a side note: This contractor I know got to meet El Pollo Salazar recently here in Houston while El Pollo and his wife were in town to do some shopping. He says they are cool and simple people. 23' 0-0
Caballero blasts the Purple Goalie who can't control the ball but there was no other Tuzo around to exploit the play. 28' 0-0 Saprissa is limited to long balls and long shots on goal if that.
Borges with a curve over the wall and comes close to a goal. the crowd lets out a collective uouuuuuuuuuuuuu !! The PBP were already screaming Goal !!!!!!! 33' 0-0
They just show'd a replay where La Chilindrina does a little chicky move and makes the Tico defender hit the breaks and gets his shoe stuck on the turf. he might need to come out. The Purple's have stepped up the attack but seem lost in the last third. 40' 0-0
These Fox freaks are talking about how many hot chicks are at El Montruo. I hate when they don't talk about soccer........only soccer !!!!!
Purple header hits the Calero woodwork off a corner !!!! The upper post helped the Tuzo keep the Zero's PALO !!!!! Saprissa more ofensive now in the closing seconds of the half. 45' 0-0
SOB !!!!!!! La Chilindrina came close to a score off a fine pass from Caballero the put it on the six yard box !!! HALFTIME !! 0-0 TABLAS !!!!
Oh, yea. that reminds me........... I'm very upset with you. I could've had about 8 thousand posts by now if 1,000 of my fine works of art weren't deleted !!! I have poor Brahma asking me what "Rep Whinning" means because I give him some Positive rep on a post that got moved then closed !!! Hopefully I'll make it past 7k tonight.............if you let me !!! p.s. If you delete this thread I'll hurt someone !!!!! p.s. DOS Smoke'em if you got'em !!!
Second half underway !!! Saprissa starts strong but loses the ball just outside the Tuxo box. they try again and again but Pachuca waits. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL PACHUCA !!!!!!!!!! And we have Tuzo fans in the stands !!! The Purples are asking for an offsides but the replay shows the play was valid !!!! The Colombian Rey with the....... GOOOOOOOOOL !!
