if luca toni came we could park him in front of goal in a wheelchair and let him just knock in headers

It's going to be so nice to not have to hook up my laptop to my TV for every single non-nationally televised game.

I really think we can win at home. The key will be to get the shut out.

To have a real shot I think we need to be up 2-nil when going down to Mexico on the return leg.

[sunny_cat]

I won't feel comfortable going down to Mexico unless we win 4-0.

[scottwildcat]

I won't feel comfortable going down to Mexico unless we win 4-0.

I agree but 2-0 I think we could park the bus and maybe grab one on the counter or a set piece. All hope will be gone if draw, or give up an away goal on Wed.

I have very little optimism. I've seen too many teams go down to Mexico and lose by 3 and 4 goals. But hell, it could happen. We're really good, and our great defense is going to be key.

Parking the bus won't keep a clean sheet in Mexico no matter what, but you're right. We could grab a set piece goal from Collin or something. If we keep a clean sheet at home and score on the road, we may have a chance.

Best case scenario imo: 2-0 win at home, 3-1 loss on the road. That'd put us through.

the only this helps me is if they now consider SKC my local club so I can watch on MLS Direct Kick on Directv because I can't even get Mediacom if I wanted it, which I don't.

I love the reach, I just wish they got a FS Midwest deal.

I'm assuming you and s_c are sitting in the cauldron on Wednesday, what time do you guys plan on arriving? This is my first Cauldron experience, I assume that I pick up my ticket in the members club?

Yeah, we'll both be in the Cauldron. I get out of class at 2:20. I plan on leaving right after, but my car is in the shop, so we'll see what happens. I'll probably get there around 5 or 5:30. Where did you order your ticket?

[scottwildcat]

s_c text me tomorrow we may be able to carpool if your car is an issue.

I don't want to hold you up. I saw you said you're planning on going up early. I should hear from the mechanic tomorrow. Thanks for offering. I'm thinking it'll be ready by Wednesday.

I'd think JP could be out soon. We just got Zizzo who has been doing well and the coaches are high on. Now Toni. Add in CJ, Zusi, and Soony, we don't need Jacob Peterson anymore, even with all the competitions.

fine by me, I've never been as high on him as some.

SKC just announced Toni signing.

We're Champions of the U.S., you two, start acting like it.  (<--- to Cruz)

[sunny_cat]

I completely forgot about this, but Collin is suspended for tomorrow's game for YC accumulation (2 in the group stage). I'm not worried about that because Opara is a complete stud and tore it up during the group stage of CCL.

What I am worried about is the fact that Cruz Azul is way better than us and will probably score 2-3 goals.

If we give up 1, we're toast. Unless we win 4-1.
