Given his druthers, Evan Bush will take a laser to the eyes over a coin to the back of his head when it comes to which form of Chinese water torture he prefers.

It has been quite a CONCACAF Champions League tournament for the Impact goalkeeper. In the semifinal at Alajuela, Costa Rica, he was hit in the back of the head with a coin and received a yellow card, allegedly for delaying the game. Then last week, in the opening-leg of the Champions League final against Club América, lasers were being shined into Bush’s eyes. He also was issued a controversial late caution from referee Hector Rodriguez.

The Impact on Sunday still was awaiting word from CONCACAF regarding Bush’s fate. He potentially faces a suspension this Wednesday, when the teams meet in the return leg at Olympic Stadium.

“I think the atmosphere in Costa Rica, getting things thrown at me, was more distracting,” Bush said Sunday, prior to the team’s practice at Stade Saputo. “Only one or two times did I realize there were lasers pointed at me — when they hit my eyes. It probably was more noticeable to the fans or on TV, when they were shining on my jersey. It didn’t affect me a whole lot, to be honest.”
