I don't think it deserves its own thread yet, but the 2011 Gold Cup venues have been announced.
― dan m, Thursday, 16 December 2010 20:12 (thirteen years ago) link
North American sides Canada, defending champion Mexico and the United States are qualified automatically for the Gold Cup, and will be joined by Digicel Caribbean Cup champion Jamaica as well as regional rivals Guadeloupe, Cuba and Grenada. Central America will determine its five qualifiers at the Copa Centroamericana January 14-23 in Panama.

On Sunday, CONCACAF bosses announced that they would lobby FIFA for a fourth automatic slot in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Champions League final first leg tomorrow night, Salt Lake vs. Rayados De Monterrey. Has the potential to be a great series: best team in MLS for the past couple years and the best team in the Primera for the past couple of years (and they have Humberto Suazo!)

Suazo already forcing fingertip saves from Salt Lake.
Gridiron lines on the field is always kind of funny in Mexico.

1-0 Monterrey

Salt Lake are definitely the underdogs but still managing some good play.

1-1 at the half, RSL holding their own

Oh shit, I hadn't seen that the Rayados were in the final. Hope they win as they still are the only club whose jersey I own! When is the return leg?

o cool i didn't see the second equalizer. way to go rsl. yeah i couldn't believe that of these two teams, it's monterey that plays on an american football field.
― mizzell, Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:09 (thirteen years ago) link
The field they play on belongs to the Tecnologico de Monterrey, huge university who has the best Mexican American football uni team. I think the rayados are looking to get a different stadium.
― Jibe, Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:14 (thirteen years ago) link
That first sentence is very muddled. "which has the best American football university team in Mexico" is what it should say to be clearer.

Oh I have a really silly question, but everytime I see Real Salt Lake written i can't help but wonder how people in the US pronounce it: Real (as in Real Madrid) or real (as in opposite of fake)? Or some other way maybe? Sorry if this sounds really stupid. Also thanks for the highlights from last week. Loved seeing that stadium and team again.

Good for them but their name irks me. What is there either Spanish or Royal about SLC?
― Concatenated without abruption (Michael White), Tuesday, 26 April 2011 22:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Mormons like gold? idk. Everyone I've ever heard says "Real" the Spanish way. I've seen blogs use it in the opposite of fake way, but in an ironic fashion. Everyone makes fun of it for being ridiculous and mis-placed, "Fake Salt Lake" is the standard dig.
I think they're gonna beat Monterrey tomorrow night tbh. They're pretty much impossible to beat at home. Both teams will missing key players, Beckerman for RSL and De Nigris for Monterrey, but Salt Lake is the deepest team in MLS and I don't think they'll have trouble adapting.

i don't have a problem with the name, mainly cause RSL works as an acronym, plus there are plenty of teams all over the world named for famous football teams (there's an arsenal in argentina, an everton in chile, etc). what confuses me is why they took the real name and the colors of real's biggest rivals.

turned it on just in time for the half, 1-0 Monterrey

Couldn't manage to stay up late enough to watch this game. Way to go Rayados! I'll finally have a club to root for at the club world cup.

ah, the tainted meat excuseanyway they recovered enough to beat cuba 5-0. and they should still be able to beat everyone easily except the us.

More believable in this case than in Contador's, tbf.

Nice pregame with Eric Wynalda mentioning the Mexico doping, not knowing the name of the substance and then not actually explaining what the situation is. Then I'm pretty sure Cobi Jones referred to Panama as an "island nation."

That's why I like watching on the Spanish channels. They just said "Clarence Goodson -- el hijo bien" and they say shit like that all the time. If they get things wrong/stupid, I probably won't understand.

Newcastle are picking up some likeable/decent players.
Is tonight's game really important? Debating whether to watch.
― boxall, Tuesday, 14 June 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
yes, it is really important
