One of the most exciting matches I’ve ever seen, hands down. Vuoso and Quintero might have been the goal scorers, but #7 Walter Jimenez was hands down the reason Santos got back in this game.
“The Montreal Impact announced Friday it had sold more than 42,000 tickets for the quarterfinal game of the CONCACAF Champions League, on February 25, at Olympic Stadium against Mexican club Santos Laguna. With this milestone, the Impact has established a new sales record for a CONCACAF game.” Nice one.
Man, those robots are so life like.
The official draw for the CONCACAF Champions League Quarter - Finals knockout phase are in from New York with the surprise match up between UNAM Pumas and Cruz Azul on the cards.
With the Houston Dynamo taking the last qualification spot coming out of the CONCACAF Champions League Group Stages last Wednesday with a 1 - 0 home win over LA Firpo, the upcoming Quarter - Finals knock out stage draw will take place on December 10th.
Imagine those home games Montreal’s going to get to play in February.
The CONCACAF Executive Committee yesterday ruled that teams competing in the 2009 version of the CONCACAF Champions League must have adequate stadiums that are up to regional standards or else they will be replaced in the Quarterfinals in February.
While judging the first Qualification phase an overall success, the issues of inadequate power supply / flood light issues / locker rooms in the Caribbean and Central American regions during those matches and the complaints that came in forced the Executive Committee to re-think their Stadium standards required for inclusion.

It’s going to be a very difficult game tonight for DC United down in San Jose, Costa Rica against powerhouse Saprissa.
If it’s raining like this at game time, expect a damn fast field when you add water to field turf.
