PrintThe Sounders' fate in CCL once again hangs in the balance — for reals this time — while two other MLS clubs face off in a battle that could decide Group A and Puerto Rico tries to do the USL proud against mighty Toluca. A lot less coverage on FSC this round. . apparently they're busy with something else.
Tuesday
- Group A - 5PM - FSC - Real Salt Lake (9pts, +4GD) at Toronto FC (4pts, -3GD)
- 1-1 Draw
- Group A - 5PM - - Árabe Unido (3pts, -7GD) at Cruz Azul (7pts, +6GD)
- Cruz Azul wins 2-0
- Group C - 7PM - - Monterrey (12pts, +6GD) at Saprissa (6pts, +3GD)
- 2-2 Draw
Results:
- Group A: RSL & Cruz Azul advance, Toronto FC & Árabe Unido eliminated
- Group C: Monterrey wins group. Sounders FC elimninated
Wednesday
- Group D - 5PM - - Toluca (7pts, +6GD) at Puerto Rico Islanders (5pts, +0GD)
- Group B - 7PM - - Columbus (9pts, +4GD) at Municipal (5pts, +0GD)
- Group B - 7PM - - Joe Public (1pt, -7GD) at Santos Laguna (7pts, +3GD)
- Group C - 7PM - FSC - Marathón (6pts, -3GD) at Seattle Sounders FC (0pts, -6GD)
Thursday
- Group D - 7PM - - Olimpia (7pts, -1GD) at FAS (2pts, -5GD)
Only one team - Joe Public - has been officially eliminated before this round begins, but 6 more could be eliminated before the week is out. Mexican clubs sit in first or second in all four groups, but MLS currently has the top of the table in Groups A and B.
This is your open thread, in which to document the atrocities.

Toronto with a B+ lineup
at best
RSL with a clear A team.

Kreis clearly wants to win the group
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Toronto seems to have invited a lot of empty seats
crappy weather there today, and a crappy season overall, but wow is it empty

I was thinking the same thing
Those that are there are packed into the corners and the supporters section behind the TFC goal.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Great counterattack and finish by TFC, 1-0
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Kreis looks VERY unhappy
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Jacob Peterson does not believe in run of play

Javier Morales with a pretty 20 yard free kick
up and over the wall

Julian De Guzman with a pretty obvious handball
on the shot that was going in anyway.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Aaaand we're eliminated
Fitting. CCL was a disaster.
Bandwagon leader for Michael Robinson as Seattle Seahawks starting QB.
Oh well. This was bad for the Sounders overall.
Now they can focus to making and playing well in the playoffs. They better observe Toronto to find a weakness to exploit on Oct.2 and get those 3 points.

Errr.. we're not eliminated -yet-
Watching Saprissa V. Monterrey on Galavision.. Monterry put the ball in the net in the 5th minute.
Against us last week, Monterrey played four starters, they’re playing one today in Costa Rica.
Pretty sure
SSReporters means TFC when he says “we.” Sounders are still alive.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Monterrey needs to slay the Purple Dragons!

Saprissa with the equalizer on an OG.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Woohoo
Monterrey back up 2-1. Well aimed cross headed in.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
In contrast to Monterrey y Los Sounders
Saprissa is starting 7 of the players that started their last league match. They’re still pretty awful.
Saprissa 2 - Monterrey 2
Sounders are done in CCL.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Maybe it's just sour grapes...
but at least we don’t have to worry about actually going for it tomorrow. Hopefully Sigi will feel free to play whoever he thinks needs the minutes.
On the other hand…. we sure as #@$ better be win the Open Cup and get back to this competition, because this whole “….takes on the world” thing deserves better.
