CONCACAF Playoff Bracket

[killersheep]

Playoffs opening kick starts in about 15 minutes

Colorado Rapids hosting Columbus Crew

Rapids at -110
Crew at -120

Crew would normally be heavy favorites, but starting GK Wil Hesmer is out with a fractured right shoulder.

Colorado's power forwards Conor Casey and Omar Cummings may be able to capitalize on that.

My money is still on the Crew with their more intelligent play (as opposed to Colorado's brute force tactics)

Beautiful quick double pass from Colorado - Cummings to Casey to Mastroeni right in the net
GOAL Mastroeni 24'
1-0 Colorado
Half Time - Colorado really dominated the first half, Crew not getting posession, not getting a rhythm and just giving in to Colorado's bully style.
Fulltime
1-0 Colorado
Columbus gave a good effort to close it out and were robbed of corner that could of equalized.

[No Contest]

Columbus hasnt been able to do shit. Sorry but LA Galaxy are gonna beat your Sounders.

Galaxy is gonna get embarresed worse than their game against the Islanders in Concacaf Champions League.

Colombus almost a chance here in the closing minutes, most of the game I've had RHCP "Give it Away" stuck in my head.

[No Contest]

We beat Seattle this season, and that was without Beckham.

Half Time - very even first half, tons of turnovers in the midfield, after heavy early pressure from RSL, FCD started to break through with multiple shots on goal in the last 10 minutes. be interesting to see how both teams react in the second half.
Second half

Attiba Harris (FCD) heavy challenge with an elbow to the head straight to red 10 men for each side 75'

Full Time - RSL really playing nothing but defense for most of the second half until an extra time heavy push but to no avail.

San Jose Earthquakes hosts New York Red Bulls @ 10:00pm EST
Thierry Henry is ruled out of this game, so Angel and Richards need to fill the role, two of the faster more dangerous strikers in the league in key games. San Jose brings Wondolowski the 2010 Golden Boot winner with 4 goals in the last week of play to surpass season long front runner Edson Buddle.
The quakes also has a very tight defense. This should be a very entertaining match.
Odds
San Jose Earthquakes = -105
New York Red Bulls = -125
Draw = +225
First Half
both sides double team key players and the play is limited to the midfield.
