Maracanazo! What a night for America

By: Albert | Comments 2 Comments

All hope was lost. Ruben Omar Romano was fired after the loss in Azteca to Flamengo. The new Coach, Antonio Luna, said that it would be a dream/fantasy to think they would pass against Flamengo in the 2nd leg in Brazil. No one believed America could do it. I laughed at the chances they had. […]

America has new Interim Coach

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

Juan Antonio Luna takes over as Interim Coach for the dismal Club America. The interesting quote coming from Luna is that he believes that America would be dreaming to think that they could beat Flamengo in Brazil.

America goes down, Romano steps aside.

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

For real this time. After a disgraceful Mexican League stint as Head Coach, all his hopes hung on the Copa Libertadores. Now America loses 4-2 to Flamengo in Azteca, without an impressive attendance. It just keeps getting worse and the only thing that can fix it is a total cleaning of players, directives and coaching.
Romano […]

For America, Libertadores, is all that is left.

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

We all know by now that America is in last place in the Mexican League Clausura Tournament. They have been playing horrible with a defense as was described on ESPN Deportes, made of butter. You can cut through their defense like cutting through some warm butter with a knife. WOW, that’s messed up. I admit, […]

Would the Champions League stand for this?

By: Chris | Comments 1 Comment

Sure, the Copa Libertadores ISN’T the Champions League. But it is still the 2nd biggest club tournament in the world, so you’d think that we wouldn’t have these kind of problems.
Problems? What problems, might you ask?
It seems that Wednesday’s match between Necaxa and Nacional of Uruguay is going to be moved. Necaxa’s Victoria Stadium is […]

Mid-week action: A mixed bag of results

By: Chris | Comments No Comments

We’ll start out with the domestic league, as the playoffs got underway on Wednesday with the two play-in ties playing their first legs.
In Torreón, Santos was shocked at home by San Luis on a 57th minute goal by former Mexican international Braulio Luna. Santos couldn’t continue their momentum after saving themselves from relegation on Sunday, […]
