Club America vs. Seattle Sounders — FOLLOW LIVE (8 p.m. ET)
If we get a match anything like the first leg, well, that would be awesome. Clint Dempsey‘s had some success in Mexico, and scored a pair against Club America in the first leg. But the champs will be happy to be home at Estadio Azteca with a pair of road goals. Buckle your seat belts.
