Superliga truly meets Micky Mouse

By: Albert | Comments 1 Comment

Other than some terrible referee work the Chivas elimination against Atlante is an outrage!
Ok, not really but this is a team in Atlante who got smoked by Houston. Chivas beat Houston, but are now out of the tournament. They also lose the services of Luis Michel in the goal after a vicious kick to the [...]

Superliga: July 15, 2008 Matches

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

Houston vs Chivas — 0-1 Chivas
This was a hard fought match. Houston playing tough on the defense, rough, bodying up on Chivas players. The field was a total mess, looked like a part beach soccer match. Houston had plenty of chances, finishing was just not there. Chivas keeper, Michel, did play a great game and [...]

Superliga 2008: 1st Round

By: Albert | Comments No Comments

Chivas vs DC United — 1-0 Chivas
This game was a funny one. DCU had troubles with a throw in, at one point. Then light troubles which delayed the game. Good old RFK. Hit 2 posts from good individual plays, one from Emilio, then another one from McTavish, where he fumbled the ball and it came [...]

Being Superleader doesn’t guarantee anything.

By: Albert | Comments 1 Comment

Chivas were overall leaders in the table during this Clausura but that doesn’t mean that they will fly through the Liguilla. Ricardo Lavolpe, coach of the Chivas’ next rival says that the statistics show the super leader doesn’t mean anything. I remember some years back when Cuauhtemoc Blanco played with the now relegated Veracruz team [...]

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. [...]

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.

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 [...]
