Superliga truly meets Micky Mouse
By: Albert | July 21st, 2008
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 arm. Fracture apparently and he is out for the season.
But the kicker is the following:
Chivas Coach asked Suerliga officials to confirm where his team stood on qualifying to the next round before the Atlante game. He was told that they would have to lose by 3 or 4 goals to be eliminated. Later Chivas was told a different story, while the game was on, and Efrain Flores was able to notify his team that whoever won, would pass to the next round. So he had to make changes and his plan to rest some players was then turned into an error. Later, Superliga coordinators said they were sorry but too little too late.
The lack of organization, and quality referees is amazing. Hopefully this years tourney is the last.
