Well, this is pretty hard to talk about, though it was harder last night. Monterrey squeaked by Real Salt Lake 0-1 to take the final of the CONCACAF Champions League.
First off, I'm proud of my team. It wasn't their best performance, to be sure. In the end, there can be only one champion. Monterrey played the better match, and they deserved the result. They were an honorable opponent and their a great side. I will, however, be rooting for them to get their lunch eaten in the club world cup.
I didn't take notes or anything, there's not much to say. Monterrey had far too much possession, and I could feel their goal coming late in the first half. We were just desperate of defense. Not having Kyle Beckerman killed us. It looked to me like we were getting our asses handed to us in midfield. When Arturo Alvarez came in in the second half things came to life a little bit, and Paulo Jr. came in late, but it was too little too late.
Ant any rate, that's about all I have to say. Congrats to Monterrey. Congrats to RSL for giving us fans a great ride. We need to win the US Open Cup and lock up CONCACAF qualification for next year.
On to Portland.
