If we win this game there's a chance things get Messi

The rumor I saw today is that he's not playing until the September international window (which ends 11 days before our match against Miami at Yankee Stadium).

Oh, I know that. I just didn't want to say Miami because it ruins my stupid joke

Things could get toothy?

Things could get toothy?

Combining how tired our guys looked at the end of the Revs game with the fact that Tigres is coming in with more rest than us, I'm keeping my expectations extremely low for this one. A win would be a massive accomplishment.

Just took a look at the Ticketmaster page for this game -- either they didn't put a lot of seats up for sale, or they've sold a surprising amount of tickets for this game, especially considering some pretty high ticket prices.

Safe to assume this is going to sound like a Tigres home game.

In a game today that is currently at halftime. Also had an assist a little earlier in the season.

It's going to be just like E. Hartford for Guate team in CCL. Surprising large crowd 98% enemies.

Good morning.

It is game day.

Bitches.

Match will also be broadcast on FS1, Unimas, and TUDN.

have zero confidence going into this match and so, zero expectation. if we somehow win this game, i'll be very happy and impressed. but i have a feeling this game will highlight a lot of our weaknesses. not to mention cushing said the boys were a bit fatigued, which seemed to be the case vs the revs. maybe a loss here wouldn't be the worst thing so everyone can get some good rest and we can make our final push into the playoffs and maybe the stars align and we get that 2nd star above our crest

I can't remember whether it was ZYanksRule or LionNYC who suggested it, but running this tournament like the FA Cup strikes me as a terrific idea, if we must have the tournament at all.

In any event, I see it the same way. It's always great to grab silverware, but I've always been of the opinion the primary goal is to win the MLS Cup. That's our league and that's what we're in business for. If this one goes the other way on us, I wouldn't be heartbroken. We need to be at our best coming down the stretch.

REF: Keylor Herrera
AR1: William Barrios
AR2: Víctor Ramírez
4TH: Jose Ugalde
VAR: Ricardo Montero

Same referee as the Querétaro match. Not a lot of calls, very physical, let them play.

 

[BC19]

One of the best wins in club history!

Nothing but truth.

 

[moogoo]

What else is there to say? Ref was horrible, but he was horrible both ways. Gutsy win against a good tigres side. Gotta say, watching Gignac whine to the ref about everything was very entertaining. haha.

anybody know what the scuffle at the end was about?

 

[LIexpat]

Wish they played like that every week
