Welcome to the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals edition of the Hudson River Blue Roundtable, in which the heavily biased Calvin Daniel, Javier Gutierrez, Noah Kassell-Yung, and Raf Noboa y Rivera will do their best to lay out what New York City FC need to do to advance past the Seattle Sounders and reach the Finals.
Last week, the Sounders decisively defeated NYCFC 3-1 in Seattle; tomorrow, NYCFC must score at least two goals to beat the Sounders (and even that might not be enough if the Sounders score), while Seattle will advance with a win, draw, or one-goal loss—plus a few other scenarios that favor the Sounders.
