The winner of the aggregate battle between the Crew and RSL will take on the winner of Olimpia of Honduras and Saprissa of Costa Rica in the semifinals. In the all-Mexico bracket, Cruz Azul takes on Santos Laguna of Torreon in one quarterfinal, and Toluca battles current Mexican champion Monterrey. Cruz Azul and Santos Laguna meet at Estadio Azul tonight, while Monterrey travels to Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca tomorrow night. Finally, Olimpia visits Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Ayma on Thursday night, which may be the hardest stadium south of Estadio Azteca for the road team to win. Both of the MLS games will be broadcast in Spanish on Galavision, which I have, and Tuesday is my night off of work, so I will be watching both tonight and the second leg in Salt Lake City on Tuesday March 1.
My bets are on the Mexican League finalists Santos Laguna and Monterrey to win their quarterfinals, and Saprissa to win the other. No call on The Crew vs RSL.
