Big thanks to RSF who sent in his own view from behind Matt Reis’ goal as Houston’s Corey Ashe hit the crossbar to give the Revolution the 2008 SuperLiga title.
If you’ve been to a Revs game and have never experienced this group of supporters before, highly suggest it.
Check this video after the Jump when Revs supporters headed down I-95…
Last night itwas the Houston Dynamo who triumphed over their Mexican rivals Pachuca to earn themselves a spot in the Superliga Finals. Tonight it was the New England Revolution’s turn as they ensured an all American final by beating Atlante 1-0 in their semi final match. I’m loving this…
The Houston Dyanamo got past their old rivals Pachuca and have advanced to the Superliga final with a 2-0 win over their Mexican rivals. They will now end up facing either Atlante FC or the New England Revolution. Imagine an all MLS final…sounds good to me.

After a pretty intense buildup, the Revs took on Chivas USA at my old stomping grounds, Cal State Fullerton.
Still need to give Burnsie (my old roomate on the road back in 1997-98 who taught me most of my teammate pranks; Brotha!!) props for stepping up the moment something went wrong on that flight from Boston to Los Angeles.
Both New England Revolution (1-nil over Pachuca and thoughts for Pat Phelan for his recovery) and Chivas USA pulled out important SuperLiga wins.
By the way, what a strike on the 3rd Atlante goal and the final goal from Luciano Emilio.
Not a good night for MLS clubs as both DC United and Houston went down on Tuesday.
UPDATE - Paul Bravo and Ruud speaking about their new signing Eduardo Dominguez.
After a 5-2 drubbing at the hands of the LA Galaxy last time they played, Chivas USA will be out for blood as once again they are the visiting team for tomorrow night’s ESPN2 match at 7.30pm (West Coast).
With both teams sitting atop of the Western Conference with identical records (LA with 31 GF, 31 GA - Chivas USA with 21 GF, 20 GA), Sacha Kljestan said it right when talking about how important it will be to get three points tomorrow night, knowing fully well that they’ll be out of MLS action for two weeks.
Chivas USA will face Pachuca on July 13th and Santos on the 16th in the 2008 SuperLiga.
With the 2007 edition of SuperLiga going to Mexican side Pachuca, the 2008 version has been announced with MLS sides DC United and Houston in Group A with Mexican League Champs Atlante and Chivas Guadalajara joining in.
Group B will consist of Chivas USA and New England for MLS and Santos Laguna and Pachuca representing Mexico.
Kickoff for the tournament will be July 12th and will run through August 5th, but I’m hoping for a Chivas USA v Chivas Guadalajara game.
