Just had to post the new ball for Liguilla as it looks great in a vibrant yellow and orange design.

looking ahead

After the hiccup this weekend with the 1-0 loss to América, the Clausura season concluded with an incredible turnaround for Monterrey. After finishing second to last in the Apertura, they jumped up to eighth this spring and twelfth overall in the combined season total. While I know it’s just a ...

Atlas Advances to Liguilla

Atlas' 2-0 win over Cruz Azul helped them move on to the Mexican tournament. With the final game of the regular season done, Atlas advanced to the liguilla right above Pachuca.
They will play in the run-off game against Necaxa for a spot in the championship tournament.

off to América

As Monterrey travels into Mexico City to face América today, they know a victory will see them finish fifth in the Clausura season, which is a stunning turnaround from the Apertura season when they finished second-to-last in the table. Under Ricardo Lavolpe’s mastery the attacking style of the club has ...

Ferretti talks about not helping out Club America

It is known by now that Club America is taking no player from the League as help for the Libertadores. Ferretti talks about how maybe teams didn't want to loan a player because of rivalry issues but also because of the fact that many are still in the middle of ...

Big Win in Copa Libertadores

I've never been happier to be wrong. My 0-0 prediction for Atlas in their Copa Libertadores game against Lanus fell through, but it fell through because Atlas won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Bruno Marioni, who is becoming pretty clutch.
After the goal Atlas was content with defending theie lead and in the second half Atlas was pretty much only attacking on the counter attack. I don't like to question coach Brindisi, but cramming your players on your half of the pitch and defending for the last 10 minutes of the game isn't a good way to keep a score, call me old fashioned but I'm for the whole "the best defense is a good offense". Nonetheless, Atlas came out with a crucial away goal and the W.

100 ..... oh yeah, and Chivas won.

After scoring number 99 more than a month ago against Pachuca, Omar Bravo kept everyone waiting for his 100th goal (that, or he couldn't get it in the net.) After missing some clear opportunities against Necaxa, Atlante, America (how sweet would've that been - scoring his 100th against America) and Monterrey, Omar finally awoke and scored against Puebla.
I was hoping it would be some kind of unforgettable golazo - fans can still remember the club's 3000th goal, scored by Jair Garcia against Colibries. i was hoping Omar's 100th would top that, but even if a goal is ugly or unspectacular, a goal is a goal, and omar scored it. Or maybe if he would've scored like Avila.
I don't know.

Pumas to the Liguilla tournament?

I guess I spoke to soon. In a previous post I mentioned that Pumas' hopes to make Liguilla were gone. They still have a chance if they win this weekend vs Pachuca and Atlas or Puebla lose.

Atlas plays Cruz Azul and Puebla plays Atlante. I see more possibilities of Cruz ...
