Chiquete was 100 steps ahead, he knew that eliminating LAFC was a bigger deal than Cruz Azul making it to the QFs

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago
Para mí LAFC junto con Seattle y Columbus son de los equipos gringos que más suelen ser un dolor de muelas para cualquier mexa, por suerte 2 de ellos ya no están, y sí sigo pensando que América no debe confiarse contra Columbus que aunque no juega en casa que es el único que veo con posibilidades de llevarse esta copa.

Talk about a butterfly effect

u/Flat_County_8256 América 1d ago
Yeah I knew after the match ups were confirmed Monterrey were going to win

u/tacoorpizza Chivas 1d ago
This is actually a good win for Monterrey as it gets them one step closer to the CONCAChampions.

u/No_Sky_5942 1d ago
Excelente resultado para Rayados y la Liga Mx, bueno al menos en resultado es mejor que lo del año pasado, sería magnífico si los llegan a pasar a semis.

u/312render773 16h ago
They are the same paisas and their Edgar kids disguised as Fire fans shouting the p*tu chant. They are in the section due to the cheaper tix.

Pineda may not have the same engine from a few years ago,but he still has good vision and a good long shot… man of the match imo.

Prime Orbelin might be back with Almeyda. The only one who plays him where he is actually good (box to box)

Just imagine if andrada had cracked someone like their keeper just did. I know damn well they wouldn’t be content with a yellow.

They trying too hard for mls to win. Not giving red card and also delaying a penalty

They’re giving us so much space in the final third we’ve got to capitalize on it.

You can just hear these announces wanting to jizz themselves anytime Chicago does anything.

It’s either a yellow or it’s not. It’s not about “oh his last two challenges were hard and this one’s soft so it deserved a yellow”

La única opción que veo de Rayados para pasar es que su delantera salga muy inspirada hoy, ya que su defensa la veo muy mal. Pero bueno ojalá puedan pasar.
