    Perfectly acceptable level of play IMO totally normal

    That's easily the worst play I've seen out of him since I've started watching MLS.

    Good for Minny though, fans needed a game like that.

    Revs defender made a mess of a clearance but Valeri just had a wonderful goal

    Timbers are also starting Farfan again, its first homegrown player. He's 18 and in high school in town.

    Valeri is good at kicking the ball into the net.

    I'm advocating a Kei-Dwyer trade. Maybe they'd both quit being useless.

    So Houston eh. Winning 3 of their first 4. Anyone think theyre for real or will they fall down the table?

    What might help them sustain is the fact that I think several traditional powers in the west appear to be not good.

    Cubo Torres goes from not scoring a goal in 2 years to scoring 6 in 4 games. I don't know what it is about him and Cabrera but they somehow work together.

    That was in front of me. He sent that up in the air and you could feel the army think, 'it's got a chance.'

    But holy shit at the actual volley. And then the Timbers do what they do and play lazy and uninspired the 2nd half. A few dumb points dropped.

    Advancing Scenarios

    With a 2-1 lead at the midpoint of the series, FC Dallas holds a slight edge in their quest for the CCL Final. A win by any amount or a draw, and Dallas would advance outright on aggregate. If Pachuca were to win in Leg Two, that’s where the advancing scenarios get tricky.

    A 2-1 Pachuca would send the series to extra time and, if needed, penalties on a 3-3 aggregate score, with each team having one away goal.
    A 1-0 win by the home side would advance them outright, with the series tied 2-2 on aggregate and Pachuca owning the away goal tiebreaker, 1-0.
    A multi-goal win by Pachuca would give them the aggregate lead, no matter the score, and advance.
    A one-goal Pachuca win with more than 3 goals scored (i.e. 3-2, 4-3, 5-4, etc.) would see the series tied on aggregate and FCD advance on away goals (anything more than Pachuca’s one)

    Pretty chippy little match going. Nice little life hack, used the edge browser on the xbox one to connect to fb and pulled the game up that way so I dont have to use my laptop. This will work brilliantly for any fb games shown this year.

    fb feed was actually ahead of the univision one and this way I can get english broadcasters.

    Harder to not score than to score from that cross.

    Tough loss for FCD. Acosta is a boss. Like him in the MF with Bradley for USMNT.
