    “Denies” is perhaps a bit strong to describe Ze Roberto’s attitude, although it sounds like a Bayern change in form would make him much more likely to stay.

    Why does Buzz claim in the headline that FCD needs help to make the playoffs? (coaching or personnel help aside)

    Is it not true that 6 points in the last 2 games clinches a playoff birth no matter what? After all, 6 points for us means no more than 3 points for RSL.

    Yes, the 2 wins clinch it no matter what because rapids play RSL still.

    Did anyone go to the tigres game? Pitch played very good on both sides of the game, scored twice (something that Davino had chance and didnt) on set plays.
    But i was very dissapointed with Oduro(never really got the ball and missed an open goal) and Avilla(Playing the way he has played the last 3games there is no way he will be over Guarda + he missed a PK) and I didnt understand why SH made Rocha a forward….
    Oh well, it was a friendly game but expected more from the bench player who wants to be in the starting line up. Oh almost forgot, Burse played bad…….

    Had to head to the bank this morning so I went to the EDS Credit Union by the stadium. The Monterrey TV stations were still filming stuff this morning. Tigres also looked like they were doing a training session here on one of the remote fields. Is that common after a game, even for a team that is so far away? I would have thought they would have gotten back on the plane immediately.
