Day -3 (6/16) Seeing Red

KING TACO, PICO RIVERA, CA - A high kick to the face put favorite #17 C4-SL Benfica down to 10 men trailing 2-1 but took advantage of a CK opportunity to tie #95 C3-CA Boca Juniors, 2-2.  BOC picked up 2 red cards as well, one in each half (the first leading to a SLB PK goal) and blew a 2-0 lead.  Another MLS team played well, but #356 D4-Los Angeles Football Club couldn't put away their second half chances and fell 2-0 to heavy favorite #12 D3-Chelsea FC.  #27 D1-CR Flamengo got an insurance goal late in the second half to beat upstart #101 Esperantce de Tunisie, 2-0.

There have been no surprises other than A4-Inter Miami holding to a 0-0 draw and B2-Atletico de Madrid getting trounced.  16 more teams will play in the next two days.

The deadline to enter the pool is 9 am PDT Thursday and you can do Web Entry or fill out a PDF/Word form.  Good luck!

I wore my 2024 LAFC home jersey which has the cool pinstripes and visited a King Taco for the first time in a long while (in the old days at the Rose Bowl, King Taco would be served in the press box for us).
