El Tauro se llevó la ida 2 a 0 detrás de un inteligente y ambicioso planteamiento por parte del técnico Mansilla.
El partido de vuelta se jugará el próximo 2 de septiembre en casa de las Chivas USA en Los Ángeles.

US 0-0 Argentina

Let's see, amazing showing by a goalkeeper, horrible calls from the ref, an engaged, pro-USA crowd and Mastroeni walks off with a red, if only Brian McBride showed up bleeding from his face, it would have been World Cup 2006 against Italy all over again.

MAJOR props to Sams Army and ESC, which showed up this game in a major way - especially the final 15 minutes. Somehow, a section of 4,000 max outsang the almighty biceleste fans when it counted most.

New England Revolution 1 v Pachuca 0
* I want to take a look at the disallowed goal a second time. It appeared to me that the two players who were offsides at the delivery of the ball were not the two that ended up playing the ball.
* Good through ball by Aguilar for Pachuca's first half, but even better from Reis to not only save but to eventually hold on.
