Bayamon is either really really bad or that match was fixed. That's halfhearted defending/goalkeeping at best.

This was a while ago but I haven't been able to keep up with footy lately so I'm chiming in now: I can confirm that Bayamon FC is loving awful, which pains me because right now they're one of the best teams to come out of PR.

We suck at every sport that is not boxing or basketball. 10-1 does not surprise me in the least.

Actually, Fox Soccer Plus has more HD distribution than Fox Sports 2. Also, Xfinity people don't get FS2.

Here's the issue: there's Fox Sports Go and Fox Soccer 2Go. Fox Sports go includes FS1, FS2, FS Deportes, and the Fox College Sports channels. Fox Soccer 2Go covers all soccer and rugby matches.

Fox Sports Go is free, but it depends on your carrier if you can get it. Fox Soccer 2Go is pay, but it's available to everyone.

Herediano beat Leon 2-1 and are through to the quarterfinals. Leon will have to play a meaningless last game of shame against Meatpan with no chance to qualify. There were 3 red cards in stoppage time because a Leon player kicked Yendrick and there was a bit of a fight.

I believe the Timbers advance if they:
  • win
  • draw
  • lose by 1
  • lose by 2 but score at least 2.

Saprissa will advance with a 2-0 win, a 3-1 win will lead to a coin toss which is what I'm rooting for.

LDA need to at least draw.


Here is the situation in the groups


1. Pachuca
2. Kansas City or Saprissa
3. Montreal
4. DC
5. Portland or Olimpia
6. LDA or Cruz Azul
7. Herediano
8. America or Comunicaciones

So if LDA do their ONE job (likely) and Comunicaciones win in Mexico (pretty loving unlikely) Then we can already congratulate Pachuca for their 2014-2015 CCL win.

Expecting KC to play some really nasty Catenaccio for 90 minutes, then Saprissa scores at 90+1, only to be held back 1-1 at 90+2 by an own goal or some really bad Saprissa Defending(tm). Good luck to Herediano and LDA.

So DC sent their backup everything to Panama. Only one starter (Chris Korb), assistant coaches Chad Ashton and Preston Burpo, and I've now discovered there's such a thing as an MLS Pool Player. Our backup GK is just a guy under contract with North America. I love it.

I did not know about the Pool Keepers, did some research. In order to call up a league keeper, a club must be under extreme hardship

quote:

(J) EXTREME HARDSHIP CALL-UPS
Teams may add players to their roster in cases of “extreme hardship” as follows: (1) a club with three goalkeepers on its 30-man roster, but has less than two available goalkeepers or (2) a team has less than 15 available players. Extreme hardship call-ups are made on a game-by-game basis.

http://www.mlssoccer.com/players/daniel-withrow is currently the leagues only pool keeper

I'm biased, but Portland at Olimpia should be good. Olimpia needs to win big to advance so I expect them to attack early. They've also made tickets free for most of the stadium so it should be packed.

Tonight's games are supposed to be on Fox Soccer Plus and Univison Deportes. Fox has moved CCL games around in the past without really telling anyone, though, so if you don't get FSP you can check FS1 or 2 cause they might be on there.
