Good

  • Non CONCACAF ref who likely wont put up with pantomime bullshit from Club America
  • They played on the weekend and picked up a key injury - we didn't
  • Scoring a single goal away (not outside the realm of possibility) makes it very tough for America to go through
  • Club America Azteca is not the El Tri Azteca

Bad
  • The Azetca is still a VERY imposing place to play
  • Altitude/pollution
  • America are still a great team
  • History


I'm thinking the good and bad kind of balance each each side of the ledger out.

Whatever happens I think that the Reds showing so well in this tournament this year considering they have had far and away the toughest task of any of the 16 competing clubs ahead of them when the tournament started speaks to the quality of the club both on and off the field. If this journey ends tonight, or goes on to the final next week we all should be very proud of our club to do what they have already done.

Hope they play hard, leave their lungs on the field and somehow find a way to have the good outweigh the bad.
