Libertadores 2008: America’s run comes to an end

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

After a terrible season in the Mexican League, America mad it farther than any Mexican team in this years Copa Libertadores. It has now come to an end after a 0-0 tie in Ecuador vs LDU Quito. The 1st leg killed them as they didn’t defend the Azteca and let 1 goal in.
In game: Quito [...]

America vs Liga: Tie that feels like a loss

By: Albert | Comments 1 Comment

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. [...]

America gets a good result in Azteca.

By: Albert | Comments 2 Comments

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 [...]

Maracanazo! What a night for America

By: Albert | Comments 3 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.
Atleast he is in touch with reality, but its got to be a bummer to have to coach a [...]

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 [...]
