Pitch is shite. Game has decent tempo to it.

Seattle’s starting striker goes out in 10’.
Seattle’s best player, Nico Lodeiro was pregame scratch also. Aggregate 1-0 to Seattle from the first leg at home. Going to be a long 70’.

And now their best centerback can't see out of his right eye

I think Seattle has 5 starters out and their #1 sub.

That fricker is swollen shut

Chivas has been way way more physical.

This game has a cynical tension simmering just beneath the surface right now.

Seattle needs to stop passing directly to the opposition.

Yeah that’d be a nice start..
Missing a guy like Nico or Alonso to get their foot on the ball in midfield and string some possession together.

Beneath the surface?


Chivas has way more speed in the midfield and Seattle are getting worked.

Seattle look terrible. They can’t hold possession and can’t defend. Can’t really win this game like this.

Well when your centerbacks can’t communicate with each other...

Should’ve dropped Svenson back next to Torres.

I know they have a bunch of injuries, but Seattle really dropped the ball tonight. Playing like complete shite. Really puts a damper on a historic achievement by MLS in CONCACAF.

I’m gonna be so disappointed if it’s another all-Mexican final after all this progress.

I don't think this puts a damper on things at all. MLS beat the best team in Mexico and over all went 2 for 3 in this round against Mexican competition. Considering their previously abysmal record against Mexican competition (teams with 3x the player wages), I would say this is still time to celebrate progress for MLS.

Seattle had a ton working against them tonight. Getting results in Mexican teams is still the exception and not the rule (historically), so let's hope MLS can continue to buck the trend in the semis.

As far as tonight, the injuries obviously decimated them. They needed more speed in midfield. I think Leerdam probably should have started or at least come on earlier. I wonder how Torres' Korean is? Or Kim's Spanish?
