Last night the 1st leg was played in Estadio Azul, and the home team Cruz Azul came out dominating the entire 1st half. They controlled the rhythm and had the ball on the Santos side of the field the majority of the time. Santos defenders were yelling at each other, Oswaldo Sanchez was yelling [...]

In Azteca, America received a very tough LDU Quito. The stadium was rocking, the fans supporting, but America could only get a tie. The 1st half was a waste as America couldnt generate chances at goal. The 2nd half changed and America pushed up more, this led to more space for Quito on the attack. [...]

So the final is set.
Cruz Azul plays a boring but effective game vs San Luis and pulls out the pass. Santos, in a thriller, beats Monterrey in final minutes with a goal by Fernando Arce. Way to put it to Lavolpe!

Christian Riveros and Joel Huiqui have been suspended for 1 game. 2 Assistents were also suspended.
Not very harsh, if you ask me, especially since Torrado, Dominquez, Lugo and others were all in the mix. Hopefully [...]

Monterrey vs Santos
San Luis vs Cruz Azul
Monterrey took care of Chivas in a game where Chivas came out scoring, but forgot to defend. To me a failure on the part of Efrain Flores and his strategy and has he would say, the first game loss, did them in. Check out the highlights in the Monterrey [...]

Salvador Cabañas is the man! With 2 goals and cohesive defense and team play, America takes a 2-0 advantage in the 1st leg of their series with Santos of Brazil. This can be considered semi-verification that their passing Flamengo was not a fluke. They have not lost under new Head man “Cabezon” Luna. They seem [...]

So this post is to show props to the great Cuauhtemoc Blanco. Great Goalscorer, playmaker, and creator of controversy. I remember many great moments such as the goal vs Atlas and sticking it to Lavolpe, the goal vs [...]

Chivas were overall leaders in the table during this Clausura but that doesn’t mean that they will fly through the Liguilla. Ricardo Lavolpe, coach of the Chivas’ next rival says that the statistics show the super leader doesn’t mean anything. I remember some years back when Cuauhtemoc Blanco played with the now relegated Veracruz team [...]
