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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

CONCACAF Micky Mouse Cup Update

By: Albert | Comments 2 Comments

I’m sorry. CONCACAF Champions Cup has been underway. As far as Mexican League is concerned, the two Mexican competitors this year are Pachuca and Atlante.
Atlante bowed out already to Saprissa after a disappointing but entertaining loss in Costa Rica. I say entertaining in that it turned physical, there were fouls, arguments and worst of […]

So we posted about the 6 game suspension for various Cruz Azul and America players for a fight they got into. The FMF (Mexican Federation) ratified the suspension for the players and stated that it was following the FIFA rules to avoid contention spreading into the stands.
I think a good decision, after all we already […]

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, […]
