Tigres vs America. August 20th and 24th.
Expect the Galaxy to send out the same XI vs Cruz Azul. They play LAFC a few days later.

Imma keep saying a cup competition between @LigaBBVAFemenil and @NWSL would be a massive hit. If they are worried about money well its gonna bring in money as long as they market it. Just imagine Tigres against Chicago, it will sell out.

The #Tigres goal took a pretty big deflection. Rimando may have done better but it changed direction
Petke got the red. He was en fuego after the match. New rule
Also it’s offside. Not offsides. There are 2 sides—onside & offside. Never plural @lars_mm #RSL

Playing Tigres beats the heck out of playing some German 2nd div team, or beating the cRapids and feeling we've done something. It's fun to see RSL play someone of consequence. Plus, winning begets winning. So play more, play the best, and try to establish a winning culture 2/3

Biggest difference between quality was the off the ball movement. RSL started out moving around and getting forward, but then started to fall asleep. Tigres kept their energy high all game. @lars_mm

He also failed to address the time wasting from both teams. Once Tigres scored it was extremely blatant, but he never addressed it, allowed teams to get heated and chippy.
