CONCACAF Champions Cup [R]

Why is Houston playing the game in College Station?

Puntarenas will probably win. The Costa Rican teams live and die for this cup. Americans and Mexicans treat it like a joke.
 
Yeah, I like DC United's chances better. No MLS team has ever lost to a Honduran team in the CCC. CD Olimpia are in mediocre form, sitting in mid-table and coming off two straight defeats. And practically the entire DC United squad got called up for the national team training camps, so hopefully they won't be completely out of shape.

The day I start to care about this competition is the day they convert the quarterfinals into a group stage, similar to the Champions League. Unfortunately, that day will never come as long as the Corruption King is running the show.
 
Oh and yeah, DC United just signed Olimpia's top goalscorer, Emilio, so that helps.

Possible DC United line-up:

----------------Denny's----------------

-------Namoff---Boswell---Erpen--------

------------Carroll-----Simms-----------
------Gros--------------------Olsen----
-----------------Gomez-----------------

-----------Emilio-------Moreno----------

Possible Houston line-up:

----------------Onstad-----------------

--------Cochrane------Robinson---------
---Waibel---------------------Barrett---

-----------------Clark-------------------
-------Mullan----------------Davis-------
---------------DeRosario-----------------

----------Dalglish-------Moreno----------

Ching is suffering from slight injury, could come off the bench though. Nice looking team but considering they're in early pre-season form, you have to give Puntarenas the edge.

Predictions:

CD Olimpia 2-1 DC United
DC United 2-0 CD Olimpia

Puntarenas 2-0 Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo 1-0 Puntarenas

CD Guadalajara 3-0 W Connection

Pachuca 4-1 Marquense
Marquense 2-1 Pachuca
 
Puntarenas 1-0 Houston

Goal scored deep in stoppage time. From what I understand, Puntarenas dominated the game, but they also had a lot of help from the Mexican ref. Can anyone who watched the game confirm these reports?

Olimpia 1-4 DC United

Olimpia have a 40 year old keeper, and it shows. DC totally deserved the win though.

Olimpia and Copenhagen, who stole who's badge?

i'm actually surprised there are people who care about this craptacular tournament...
and the Aggie Soccer Stadium looks like a U15 soccer stadium at best.

On a big pile of money?

I guess that explains the penalty in last night's Chivas-W Connection match.

Anyway, I see that DC United will probably blow their 3 goal advantage, thanks in no small part to ridiculously biased officiating, while Puntarenas will strike it lucky in Aggieland, thus shutting out the Americans from the semifinals for the second year on the spin.
 
DC United 3-2 CD Olimpia
DC United 7-3 CD Olimpia (aggregate)

Houston lead Putarenas 1-0 at halftime, tied 1-1 on aggregate. They need to score again early in the second half, IMO. If this game goes into extra time, Houston are at a disadvantage. They're not fit enough to play 90 minutes at this point, let alone 120.
