PACHUCA & CHIVAS WITH THEIR SIGHTS SET ON JAPAN
Hidalgo Stadium. Wednesday, April 25th at 20:35 hrs.
PACHUCA
There is nothing else on the "Tuzos'" mind but to win or win, since a loss would give them a ticket to play in the "Copa Sudamericana" which is meaningless to them since they're automatically in the tournament for winning the last edition.
It should be mentioned that Pachuca will be playing with one less goal than they should be playing since refereeing errors prevented them from taking a 3-2 (or even a 4-2) lead.
The team will be complete in this game except for their star defender Aquivaldo Mosquera, who will miss the game for yellow card accumulation. From then on out, the entire team will be complete. This includes their remarkable offense, who will undoubtedly display what they're made of.
GUADALAJARA
On the other hand, the players commanded by Jose Manuel "el Chepo" de la Torre have their mind set on taking the cup. They will with no doubt come out to win it all.
During the first leg, Chivas looked better throughout parts of the game, but at other times, they found themselves easily penetrated by Pachuca, something that might of cost them a loss in "El Jalisco."
An extra ingredient for the "Tapatios" is that it is probable that the majority of the fans watching the game will be pulling for the red and white side. Even though the directives from Pachuca tried to prevent this, it is nearly impossible to stop the wave of Chivas fans that will even out conditions in the game.
The team from the "Pearl Occident" will have their starting line-up who is at their best to play this Wednesday to attempt to acquire the crown of the most important tournament in the CONCACAF.
THE GAME
In this tournament, visitor goals don't count. Reason for why both teams will not scoot back into their half of the field and defend throughout the whole game. Given the circumstances, there is to a more spectacular game than the one from the first leg. Both teams with a proven system of play, both with a 4-3-3. Both excellent with the ball, each player with important advancements into the other teams side of play, and with their trio of strikers (respectively), with Bautista, Medina, and Bravo for Chivas, and Gimenez, Alvarez, and Cacho for Pachuca, these six will be explosive for the most part.
Both teams used the same amount of players last Saturday in the Mexican league game (Chivas won 4-0, and Pachuca 1-0), which means they'll be equal in the matter of fatigue.
I believe in Chivas's victory.

chelsea was a tad unlucky not to beat liverpool by a bigger margin, i mean all the shots saved by pepe was freaky, especially all the hard drives from lamps, but in saying that....WAYNE ROOOOONEY *****!
first half....we looked flat, nervous,out of our depth, and kaka made us pay, as he should, but in the 2nd half once we established ourselves, shut down kaka(relatively speaking) we put the blinkers on and ploughed home! it was a duel down to kaka and ronaldo(and they didnt dissapoint) but rooney stole the highlights reel with some sublime(and questionable keeping) skills. 3-2 heading to the San Siro, im almost tempted to say this is gonna play to our advantage because milan HAFTA come at us, and this suits our counterattacking style since a) since AC lack real strikke force other than kaka/inzaghi(when his hammies are twinged), their wingbacks do travel a fair way up and expose theirback 2 to giggs/ronaldo/rooney who...as we saw in the 91st minute, it only took a good lil ball from giggs on the counter to blast milan apart. b) their defence is not getting any younger, and watching maldini and gattuso walk off gave us extra room, and again this plays to our speed and given an inch,ronaldo will cut them in half, or draw 3-4 players and lay it off. and finally c) we minimalised the damage at old trafford to 2 away goals...believe me, it was looking like 5-6 the way kaka was going, and plus if reports outta england are true, Vidic and Ferdinand are VERY close to full fitness,(well fit enough for the return leg) and if these 2, or even just vidic returns, it gives us a proven defender to mark out kaka and allow heinze to play his natural attacking game down the left flank which allows giggs to filter in the middle to link with carrick/scholes, plus, with vidic back, his strength from corners and courage is unquestionable, and this also allows united to play vidic on kaka along with possibly a darren fletcher/joh oshea to stand in front of kaka and double tag him like bayern did with Lucio and Hargreaves.
BUT, in saying that, 2 factors worry me most, a) we leaked 2 away goals, i woulda been happy to take 1-0 or 2-0, but 3-2 leaves it too close for comfort with the away goals looming large, especially if milan DO score first. and b) kaka, need i say more? lol i spose 2 other small factors worry me, history and the fact its AC milan, history tells u that ac are a proven team and look almost unbeatable at home and we did lose 1-0 last time we met at the san siro, and also the players on ACs roster, although old, can still create abit of havok on unweary teams,plus some VERY good players(not just kaka/inzaghi) like Pirlo,gattuso(it really shows his worth when he leaves and ManU score 2 goals in his absence),gourcuff and italy's defensive rock allesandro nesta. its abit of a shame Ronaldo(brazil) is cuptied,else he d also be abit of a force for United to contend with...overall, this is WAY too tight to call, toss a coin fellas, thas how close its gonna be!
im hanging out for a liverpool victory at anfield, given they are a proven champions league team under rafa, and if rafa plys gerrard more in the centre and allows pennant to take a flank, it really gives liverpool a different look with an established winger and their captain leading and directing from the centre of the park. chelsea are always tough to score against, defenders like terry,carvalho,cole etc not to mention defensive mid makele and given also joe cole/didier drogbas form on the counter as well as the return of essien from suspension, it makes it a very tall order for liverpool to try and replicate their 2005 success. hopefully we see a more fluent game than that of stamford bridge....it was quite bad...i mean everyone looked like they were always falling over, passes went astray and noone looked quite balanced, or not as much as usual.im gonna go out on a limb and say liverpool to win 1-0, and chelsea to ****** the win in injury time/overtime/penalties
