Seattle Sounders at CSD Comunicaciones CONCACAF Champions League - Gamethread

Win and the Seattle Sounders set themselves up to win the Group. A tie ensures advancement. A loss would put way too much meaning on the final game against CF Monterrey. Tonight's game might actually be the second most important of the remaining year. It seems odd saying that, but the regular season is nearly in the playing out the string mode, so games against CSD Comunicaciones and the Chicago Fire will go a long way to defining the non-League season.

The territory will not be friendly, though the surface relatively familiar. Sigi Schmid will have a fairly healthy lineup compared to past weeks with the only assured starter being Zach Scott at right back (saying this ensures David Estrada). CCL threat Mike Fucito seems to have been saved for the game, but the rest of the lineup could go any in dozens of ways. The focus will be on at least a point if not more. There will be an early flurry to start the game, at the start of the second half and to finish the game. It is quite likely that long stretches of the game will seem chunky, slow and uninspired. Those will bracket moments of brilliant transitions and passing sequences. Almost certainly Kasey Keller will have at least one save that reminds us of his greatness.

Nothing else is known, but merely a hope.

The game is on FoxSoccer and streaming at CONCACAF's website at 7PM.

Pumas are able to pass via triangle whenever they want

Toronto’s defense is soft, bending. Oddly, at about 15 minutes in there’s really only been one chance.

Notable that one of Toronto and Dallas are likely through

barring a stunning Pumas collapse.

The Rapids are done. Gary Smith (their coach) didn’t even travel for their game.
Galaxy have a near must win to advance.

So after a VERY hot start it is possible that only two MLS teams advance.

CONCACAF Group Stage Tiebreakers

Can anyone list the tiebreakers for group stage advancement? I’m thinking head to head then goal differential for all games then total goals? Sickly enough I think we might just end up having to be interested in this sooner than later.

by RalfZakuani on Sep 27, 2011 5:48 PM PDT reply actions  

Tiebreakers
  • Greater number of points earned in matches between the teams concerned
  • Greater goal difference in matches between the teams concerned
  • Greater number of goals scored away from home in matches between the teams concerned
  • Reapply first three criteria if two or more teams are still tied
  • Greater goal difference in all group matches
  • Greater number of goals scored in group matches
  • Greater number of goals scored away in all group matches
  • Drawing of lots

Basically I see this meaning the following: what Monterrey does tonight is irrelevant. If we don’t win or tie today, we will simply need a tie or better against Monterrey next week even if they win tonight.

Offshore and Europe...

…have Sounders as a slight underdog to the Guatamalans, paying Seattle 2.75 on a one dollar beter as opposed to a 2.39 take on a 1 dollar bet for them. By comparison, a bet on Monterrey to win tonight pays only 19 cents on the dollars while choosing Herediano – the fiesty Herediano that beat us in Seattle – would give you over 12 bucks for your 1 dollar investment….

That's nearly an ideal XI

Probably only Evans > Friberg right now.

by Dave Clark on Sep 27, 2011 6:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't have the opta to back it up, but to my eye Friberg has been the better passer on the attacking third.

Seems like an interesting thing to look in to. CM is a position that can drastically change the look of a team, yet it seems like one of our less settle positions.

Friberg has seemed to me to be a better fit with the close passing/attacking game we’ve seen between Rosales, Fernandez, Alonso, and Montero. Evans is better in the air and is better against more physical teams.

by moyerLIVES on Sep 27, 2011 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Tactical effect

Should be more approaches down the left. Look for Alvaro to lurk on the back post.

Friberg probably stays central and more Alonso in attack.

For some reason I was thinking it was the Herediano/Monterrey game you were referring to.

by wyte_lightning on Sep 27, 2011 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ideal result in that game is a Monterrey loss.

That would leave the table at:

Sounders: 9 (plus tonight)
Comunicaciones: 6 (plus tonight)
Monterrey: 6
Herediano: 6

As you can see if we win we’ll be 6 points up on the rest of the competition. Of course, a draw in the other game would have the same effect of winning us the group outright.

But it really depends on the situation, and there’s a good chance it wouldn’t have been anything given he’d already won the ball away. All speculation though – it’s the ref’s discretion.

☐ Supporter’s Shield
☐ MLS Cup

(Wasn’t there another wishlist item with Montero and Zakuani getting double digit goals and assists?)

And now it's official

Tuesdays Open Cup final is the last important match until the start of playoffs.

montero is playing great

I think that cast really bothered him or something. He is really peaking at the right time.

Yes.

And they were the only MLS team, too.

I met a possum.

Next year there will be 3 MLS teams up North.

(Or South… if you’re talking about Toronto in relation to Seattle.)

Other funny stat, in six games last year, there were only two that were not ties

Both were Toronto defeating Montreal.

There were also a staggering seven goals scored.

I met a possum.

But they made CCL this year from winning last year's tourney

which is, I think, what Derek was referring to.

They earned admittance by winning this year's Voyageurs Cup

Which included four teams. They made it last year, but winning last year’s Voyageurs Cup, which featured three teams.

If I get this straight...

It would appear that Honey Badger scored at 7:49 P.M. and 8:49 P.M. PDT…pretty much exactly an hour apart.

Weird.

Obviously this means that every hour on the hour

Honey Badger is somewhere in the world just taking what he wants!!
