Watched America vs Leon last night. I really liked Club America (those jerseys are on point), did some background history, and then it turns out they're the Yankees of Liga MX, so I'm not allowed to root for them.

It's fine to root for them, they have Miguel Herrera as a coach and he's a ton of fun to watch on the sidelines. Plus they'll probably be in the Champion's League final at the rate things seem to be shaking out, so get used to seeing them around.

I love RBNY twitter. Like 10 minutes after finding out that Xolos is in the US we figure out exactly where they're staying :lol

MLS and Liga MX have formed a new partnership.

2018-primary-MLS_LigaMX-1280x553.jpg


This partnership will entail a few things; a SuperLiga-like competition, and Liga MX All-Stars vs MLS All-Stars.

This is the SuperLiga-like competition:

The annual Campeones Cup will pit the reigning champions of Liga MX and MLS to crown the best club in North America. The 2018 Campeones Cup will be hosted by reigning MLS Cup champion Toronto FC, on September 19, 2018 at BMO Field in Toronto. Liga MX's representative will be decided in mid-July in a Campeon de Campeones matchup between the Mexican League's two tournament champions: Apertura (Tigres UANL) and Clausura (to be played in May 2018).

And All Stars stuff:

In addition to Campeones Cup, the MLS-Liga MX partnership is working on additional competitions in the future, as well as additional tentpole events, including commitment for a future MLS All-Star Game presented by Target featuring the best players from both leagues facing off in an epic clash. Also, the Liga MX Under-20 teams will participate during MLS All-Star Week as the annual opponent in the MLS Homegrown Game presented by Energizer.

Norm, we need more America fans here . We got a pretty good squad right now and we've yet to lose a match this season. Shouldve watched the Chivas vs. America game. That was a good one.

As for today's matches, I can't see Xolos overcoming the 2-0 deficit and Tigres might stun Toronto. Should be fun though.

Tigres is in good position to advance. One goal and TFC has all the pressure on them.

Xolos though? We gonna roll them like shitty cigars. This is a team of fathers and sons, large adult sons. We don't have a dreaded Laramie on this squad.

The all star game makes all the sense in the world. The friendly match between the two champs is going to be a farce, MLS teams are going to play BTeams because their managers are smart and aren't going to risk anyone for a meaningless game.

This is a fair point. It's a bummer that the leagues aren't on the same schedule so they can't just make it like the inaugural game the week before the new seasons starts or something, but I think the realities of the climate in MX versus the northern half of the US makes that a tough nut to crack. Maybe we'll find out in 2022 if Qatar manages to hold onto their rights for the world cup and they really hold it over winter...

Red Bull starting with 5 in the back, the 5-4-1. I presume we'll be swapping in some speed after the half to take advantage of tired legs.

It stinks that a decent amount of Red Bulls games aren't even going to be on English-language TV. And I'm talking about MLS games as well as CCL.

Is this also a problem for other MLS teams?

Both sides hit the post in the first few minutes... now it's 1-0 Tijuana, I think that was American Rubio Rubin with the assist?

I only have room for one Liga MX team and I'm still debating. Xolos are my "local" team since I'm in LA (been running a Football Manager save with them) but I like backing winners (I'm also a Man Utd supporter so former winners too) and if not the Xolos, will only root for a team in the DF, since I'm more likely to go revisit there than any other place in Mexico.

If they can't change the dynamic of this game the Metro goes through.

My butthole is so tight though, so nervous

1-1 at halftime.

Two questions for NYRB fans:
Where is Sean Davis
What do you think of Muyl
Davis is out on yellow accumulation, we really do look noticeably worse without him. That carries over from last year as well. He just fits out system to a T.
Muyl has no instinct when it comes to finishing, but his workrate is good. I expect Kaku to take his spot by mid-season.

Toronto really needs to settle right now. They need to get on the ball some more and make it to the half.

7/10 dive

Tigres got better as the half went on similar to TFC in the first leg. Hopefully the 2nd half doesn't mirror the first leg in that way.

I'm not used to these games being so fast paced. Gonna be a change when we're back to regular league matches.
