After another successful episode of the Seattle Sounders Road Show, all eyes are on Concacaf Champions Cup, starting with Wednesday's massive quarterfinal opener at Tigres UANL. We'll give our final takeaways from Matchday 6's 1-0 victory at Houston and Paul Rothrock's game-winner, then react to a couple of major Sounders news items, with Nikola Petković lost for the season to a torn ACL and Peter Kingston signing a first-team contract. Later in the show, we'll be joined by Jeff Rueter of the Guardian, who will give us the lowdown on covering USMNT camp in Atlanta and preview the CCC quarterfinals.
