Three is Still a Crowd
Before we get into the semifinal match-ups of the inaugural SuperLiga tournament, savages, let’s remind ourselves that our Mexican counterparts are using the tournament as a pre-season of sorts as the Mexican League season is just getting underway this weekend.
Otherwise, our MLS clubs will be looking sweet indeed as there are 3 clubs contending to Mexico’s 1: LA Galaxy, DC United, Houston, and Pachuca.
The Galaxy out-drove FC Dallas 6-5 in a game that reads more like a mediocre baseball score while trifecta champions, Pachuca edged rivals Chivas 0-1 on the road back in Mexico in Group A.
Both Houston and DC progressed through in Group B even though DC fell to Houston in a cross-conference rivalry. America’s 3-2 victory over Morelia in the final game came to not as the men from Azteca lost to both DC and Houston on American soil.
The semis are stacked up for some heavy hitting even though we have to wait about a week and a half for the semis to kick-off. The Galaxy will face fellow MLS contenders DC United while Houston will try to avenge their Champions’ cup defeat at the hands of Pachuca in the other semifinal.
SuperLiga Semifinals Schedule:
Tue., Aug. 14
Los Angeles vs. DC United
Wed., Aug. 15
Houston vs. Pachuca
Talk about blowing off steam though. To be continued doesn’t really work well with sporting events. Hopefully, better planning will helpfully eliminate the lack of continuity in the tournament’s schedule in future renditions of the tournament.
