By: Albert | August 8th, 2008

Ok, Ready!?!

No Friday games.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9
Galavision
San Luis vs. Jaguares – 6 PM ET / 5 PM CT / 3 PM PT live
– San Luis going for another win against a weak and struggling Jaguares team. I am a fan of Bofo and I hope they get out of this stint. Itamar Batista will be out as he was red carded last game.

Azteca America
Cruz Azul vs. Tecos – 6 PM ET / 5 PM CT / 3 PM PT live
– This should be a good one, Tecos is on top of the table just below San Luis and has been impressive. Cruz Azul is playing good as well, it should be a tough match, but Torrado is back and has a game under his belt.

Fox Sports en Español
Indios vs. Necaxa – 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT / 5 PM PT live
– Battle of Mediocres, Indios needs a win, Nechaflas, needs something as well.

Telefutura
Chivas vs. Monterrey – 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT / 5 PM PT live
– The match of the day, folks! The rematch. Chivas looks for revenge. As stated in the Monterrey blog, the solution is bunker ball/counter attack to beat Chivas. Lets see if Monterrey can do it.

Galavision
Atlante vs. Pachuca – 10 PM ET / 9 PM CT / 7 PM PT live
– A match between Superliga losers. Hopefully a scuffle breaks out so we can get some more good entertainment. I see Pachuca taking this one.

Galavision
Tigres vs. Atlas – 12 AM ET / 11 PM CT / 9 PM PT (4hr tape delay)
– Lets see if Tigres is for real. Atlas should be without Botinelli with a red card and Blas may come in blasting. They are fighting for their non relegation life.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 10
Univision
Pumas vs. Toluca – 1 PM ET / 12 PM CT / 10 AM PT live
– This is a good one, Pumas is running good and Toluca may be losing some patience with Chepo de la Torre. Even though they got a win vs America, things may not be going well in Toluca if they lose this one.

Azteca America
Puebla vs. Santos – 3 PM ET / 2 PM CT / 12 PM PT live
– Santos needs to get this one. They havent won a game yet, but claim to be champions. They have the same team and need to step it up. This is a must win for them.

Telefutura
América vs. Morelia – 5 PM ET / 4 PM CT / 2 PM PT live
– Another must win for America. If they claim to truly be a new team. Cabanas seems to be the main bright spot. Lets see if someone else can step it up.
