Mexican League: Jornada 16 Review

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

Veracruz vs Pumas (2-4)

Cruz Azul vs Morelia (1-0)
Morelia is one of the worst teams in the league, […]

Superclasico should have been 5-0, 5-1

By: Albert | Comments 4 Comments

What else would you expect form Jorge Vergara, Chivas owner. This guy is always looking for an opportunity to talk trash. Latest quote is: “We helped Romano break records, he has 20 games without a win. He also said it should have been 5-0 or 5-1.
This may be true, but wow, not very nice. 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, […]

When a fight breaks out during a game, its always fun to watch and you expect cards to fly. In the America vs. Cruz Azul game we now know the results of the red cards that were given out. 6 GAME Suspensions. WOW! A bit severe, I would think. So who wins the prize?
America:
Juan Carlos […]
