Vancouver Look To Make CONCACAF Champions League History after Dallas Bows Out
FC Dallas traveled to Pachuca, Mexico on Tuesday night to face the club in the second-leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semi-final. FC Dallas entered with a 2-1 advantage over Pachuca from the first leg of competition but lost that advantage early on a 38th minute goal and fell behind in the 80th minute on a second goal from Pachuca. FC Dallas fought back in the match with a goal to tie the aggregate in the 86th minute, but their hearts were broken two minutes into stoppage time as Pachuca found the aggregate winner closing things 3-1 (4-3 on aggregate) favoring Pachuca. Major League Soccer's final hope this season in CONCACAF Champions League play is the Vancouver Caps who are in need of a big win tonight in Vancouver to climb back from a 2-0 aggregate deficit.

The U-20 World Cup begins on May 20th in South Korea and Head Coach Tab Ramos still has a large pool of players to choose from. He recently announced the roster for a training camp in London, intended to look at some European-based players eligible to play. His first step is to trim the player pool down to 35, before eventually deciding on all 21 spots. The U.S qualified for the U-20 World Cup after winning the CONCACAF tournament earlier this year.
