BOGOTA, Colombia.- El duelo de ida terminó 0-0 y el tanto de visitante en Colombia depositó al equipo dirigido por el técnico Néstor Gorosito en la última instancia. Tigre enfrentará a Sao Paulo de Brasil, que el miércoles empató 0-0 con Universidad Católica de Chile. Sao Paulo avanzó por el gol de visita que anotó la semana pasada en el empate 1-1 en Chile.
La portería de la selección mexicana ha estado bien custodiada en la época reciente ya que si bien a México le han faltado creativos o delanteros, nunca se ha dudado que existan garantías para cubrir bien la posición del guardameta. No hubo dudas durante mucho tiempo ya que más de diez años Jorge Campos fue el indiscutible, con su gran resorte, agilidad al mano a mano, su alcance para espectaculares salidas y hasta su atrevimiento y seguridad para jugar con los pies.
Se informó hace algunos momentos que debido a unos asuntos pendientes de Guillermo Ochoa en Francia, nuestro portero Jonathan Orozco tomará su lugar en la convocatoria para los encuentros de la Selección Mexicana contra Guyana y El Salvador.
Después de tanto tiempo pidiéndolo a gritos se acomodaron las estrellas para que Jona volviera a ser tomado en cuenta con el tricolor.
At the Larry Gomes Stadium in Trinidad & Tobago, Seattle had little trouble with Caledonia in a 3-1
win in the CONCACAF Champions League. Seattle's Alex Caskey opened the scoring in the 45th and it
was 2-0 when Samuel Ochoa scored in the 60th minute. Caledonia got a goal back in the 67th, but
Fredy Montero scored Seattle's third two minutes later.
Wednesday's 6PM US Open Cup Final is just another lineup challenge for Sigi Schmid in a year
that has seen the Seattle Sounders play on short rest several times already. But this is the first
time in 2012 when those choices literally have a Cup on the line. The Sunday night lineup was not
weakened in order to rest anyone.

With roster competition and depth chart talk occupying the pre-training camp conversation
online, we thought it would be good to give a visual after the most recent additions to the team
(Christian Sivebaek, Andrew Duran and Babayele Sodade) being highly unknown we're not going to
guess at their flexibility.

del Seattle Sounders FC al borrar la desventaja de un gol [.
Whether it is off the bench or after being introduced in the starting lineup, Fredy Montero is
having quite an impact during August. That continued on Saturday night, as the Colombian netted his
first career hat trick at Home Depot Center against Chivas USA.
With the Seattle Sounders suddenly as healthy as they've been all year, the coaches can finally
make some choices that are based on something other than necessity. As I alluded to in my story
about the left-midfield position, Sounders coach Sigi Schmid suggested that could lend itself to
some interested tactical decisions.
Caledonia AIA came to Seattle for their first CONCACAF Champions League match in their history.
If they were expecting a large crowd of cheering supporters that Seattle has become known for they
were in for a surprise. Less than 8,000 fans showed up in Seattle to watch Seattle Sounders FC
start a new CCL campaign.
Tomorrow the Portland Timbers take on the Seattle Sounders in what promises to be one of the
premier matches of the regular MLS season. But I don't really need to tell you all this. As a
Portland Timbers fan this stuff is ingrained within you from the very day you decide to done the
green and white.
Sigi Schmid is calling a week with a US Open Cup match and a short turn around for an MLS
Reserve League game "Opportunity Week." Within a game against the Atlanta Silverbacks that is a
"must win" by nature of a knockout tournament and a results don't matter much Reserve match at
Starfire on Friday night against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The MLS Players Union has once again released their league-wide salary data. I always feel a
little awkward about this. How many other people have their salaries posted publicly? But hey, it's
the union releasing it, so here we go.
The direct link to the PDF is here. You can see a list of the top earners here.
There's a rather big game coming up tomorrow. The Seattle Sounders wil, of course, be hosting
the LA Galaxy in a midweek affair that won't get the attention it probably deserves. The
unfortunate reality is that this rather huge game, at least from a psyche standpoint, is smack dab
in the middle of the busiest part of the Sounders' MLS schedule.
The Portland Timbers reserves aquitted themselves well in front of several thousand fans tonight
at the Starfire Soccer Complex in Tukwila, WA, beating the Seattle Sounders reserve team 2-0. The
Timbers reserve side spent much the first sixty minutes of the game putting Chivas under constant
pressure.

With the ice storm following the snow storm Seattle Sounders FC canceled today's practice. It
was to be the formal opening to training camp, even though most players have participated in
voluntary workouts for some time. They've been doing that not just because of the roster
competition, but because game one this year is in the CONCACAF Champions League against Santos
Laguna.
Two leg aggregate series in the MLS Playoffs favor the team with fewer games played. This has
become known around MLS media circles as the "Curse of the CCL." But Real Salt Lake shouldn't take
any solace in the fact that they've played fewer games. Their First XI has played in 313 more
minutes than the likely lineup put forward by the Seattle Sounders.

El entrenador del Seattle Sounders FC Sigi SCHMID no solo sorprendió con una fuerte alineación en

Crikey! That's quite the title right? Well it has to be. Today's TTB is dedicated to an event
which is just about to happen. We won't hear much of it in the lead up or probably even after, but
it's coming. Essentially it's the US bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup.
The reason why I dedicated today's news round up to it is because there's a fantastic article
below which I think every MLS fan should read.
Welcome to the New England Revolution vs. Seattle Sounders live game thread! Everything you need
to know going into this match has already been mentioned in the match preview, but I'll take a
minute to let you know what the keys are going to be for the Revs in this match.
Seattle is a team that has weapons literally everywhere, and they aren't exactly calling off the
dogs in the name of resting players.
La Dirección General de Selecciones Nacionales informa sobre la próxima convocatoria de la
Selección Nacional Mayor para llevar a cabo un partido de preparación contra la Selección de
Estados Unidos el día 15 de agosto a las 19:00 hrs en el Estadio Azteca.
Los jugadores deberán presentarse en el Centro de Alto Rendimiento el próximo domingo 12 de

Brazil take on Mexico tomorrow in Dallas with high expectations. Mano Menezes' men go into the
match in confident form after convincingly seeing off Denmark and the USA in their two previous
outings. Brazil are expected to start with the same eleven that beat the US 4-1.
Mexico are also in good form after winning against Wales, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and will have
a massive following in the 80,000 capacity stadium.

Philadelphia Union manager Peter Nowak said Sunday the club had received a trade offer for
Califf and informed Califf, but Union sporting director Diego Gutierrez said no deal has been
finalized.
A Chivas USA spokesman said by telephone earlier Sunday afternoon that he had heard nothing of a
trade, though the southern California club is rumored to be the destination.
Seen here is an Emelec (of Ecuador) fan wearing a huge and really rather unsettling 'Chucky'
head assuming it's not some terrible affliction in the crowd as his side takes on Paraguay's
Olimpia in Guayaquil in the Copa Libertadores, putting the guy in front's feeble Janet
Street-Porter mask, quite literally, in the shade.

Looking like a scene from the Temple of Doom, Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito fans
clamber up the fencing at the Casa Blanca Stadium in Ecuador to cheer on their side during a 2-0

This may seem obvious, but there's more than one way to win a soccer game. There are so many
strategies (call these game wide) or tactics (specific plays or limited circumstances) that can
help a team win. Talent isn't this perfectly understood thing (OK, Messi). But in any specific game
there are ways to win.

Short post today as Nikhil won't be able to post the preview due to personal circumstances.
There's precious little to say other than Lyon are pretty much assured to keep the 4th spot, so
this game is of little importance... except for Gourcuff and the other European internationals who
want to be noticed and selected for the Euro championship.
