Sounders CCL Schedule Announced

When will they announce if the match will be at qwest or starfire?

If my memory serves me correctly; I think they have to play at Qwest due to CCL stadium requirements.

and if at Qwest – I presume this would be our C ticket??  

Yep Josh Mayers shared with us last month that it will be at Qwest.

…I’m holding out for Inter… 

The press release on the CONCACAF website says Seattle is hosting the First Leg on July 28th and Metapan is hosting the second leg. http://www.concacafchampions.com/page/CL/NewsDetail/0,,12856~2065022,00.html

was there a press release on this?  I haven’t seen anything…  Or do you just have ninja sources?

I sure hope this is incorrect.  I spoke with Chris Henderson on Sunday and asked him if the match in El Salvador would be the 1st week of August and he assured me that it would.

Yes, you are correct. I misread.

Yep, I made a mistake.

Both

I would like to know where the info came from as well… the Mariners have an evening games in the first week of August so we’ve been assuming that the game would be here the preceding week.

As I said, I misread. Apologies abound.

Whew!!!!

I bought my ticket last night, was lining up my shots for this evening and scouting good travel books.  My stomache really sunk there for a minute.

Sorry Tacoma… I posted it between meetings and was posting & reading from the phone.  :-[

mike, i think you made a mistake…. 

Whew is right, we have been doing some travel planning for this game…

And since I’m mentioning travel planning, here’s a plug and reminder for folks- ECS does planning for every Sounders away game and El Salvador is no exception.  In fact, it’s probably even more important due to the high crime areas of El Salvador.

We are going to arrange tickets and transportation to/from Metapan/San Salvador, and also likely a group hotel the evening of the game in the Metapan area.

Isn’t July 28th the MLS All Star game?

Well looks like no Sounders are going to be in that All Star game….

Great now, Man U has a chance

I suck.

I’m holding out for USA-Spain. LOL

This is good news we need to score like 3 goals at home before we go over to central america

Do they use the away goals rule in CONCACAF Champions League?

Yes.

#1 Tie Breaker for the Preliminary Round: “Greater aggregate number of away goals scored in regulation time in the two matches (excluding any goals scored in overtime).”
