En México no se batalla a la hora de hacer análisis y balances. O funciono tal o cual jugador no funciono, así de simple. Es por eso que algunos clubes ya hicieron sus movimientos, unos para forzar su plantilla rumbo a torneos importantes, otros para cubrir carencias en sus planteles, entre otras cosas.

Houston Dynamo v Pachuca
* While the field looks much better than in the group stages, it still doesn't look the greatest in the world to play on.

* Calero with an excellent denial of De Rosario's volley. I swore that was 1-0 to Houston.

* As the first half has worn out, Pachuca is doing an exceptional job keeping it's shape while Houston appears to be pressing and twisting themselves out of shape.

Hey, hey - here we go now. Well, not just yet, some telenovela is on. "No quiero verle nunca mas!" spits the heroine. Oh, ok, it's over now. Bring on SuperLiga! Post predictions quick!
Ha, the announcers know all about the Houston/Pachuca history.
"Houston wants revenge," they say. I've picked Pachuca to win, however, so I predict a heartbreaking 2-1. Click to continue reading...

Take note that the MLS game tonight, Columbus v Kansas City, is on ESPN, not ESPN2!

~and~

You have to be impressed by both Guadalajara Chivas and New England Revolution in this SuperLiga, but Guada has played both games on the road making them the strongest team so far. Click to continue reading...

¿Para que sirve la Superliga aparte de generar dolares? Pues para que equipos embalados de la MLS logren subir de nivel y darle sustos a equipos mexicanos que hacen su pretemporada de manera mas fuerte que otros.

Aquí los resultados hasta el momento:

Pachuca CF defeated Chivas USA last night at the Home Depot Center by a 2-1 margin to close out the first round of Group B matches. All the scoring happened in the first half as Ante Razov got on the board first for Chivas in the 16th minute. Pachuca equalized 7 minutes later as Gerardo Rodriguez set up a Bruno Marioni strike.

Bruno Marioni scored his first official goal for Pachuca in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chivas USA.

We think.

At first, the goal looked like it went off of Claudio Suarez. But Marioni celebrated it as his own and it went into the books as his goal. It wasn't until afterward, when I was listening to the little snippet of Sacha Kljestan that I recorded, that I heard him say it was an own goal. Click to continue reading...

An event-filled opening 45 minutes saw Chivas USA blow a lead, squander a penalty kick and come in at the half trailing 2-1.

Chivas could and probably should have been up 2-0 in the first 10 minutes, with Sacha Klejstan hitting the bar from 16 yards, wasting a fine Jonathan Bornstein run, who split the Pachuca defense after intercepting a lazy clearance.

Andrea is absent from tonight's match so I'll try and hold the fort down in her absence.

Pachuca won SuperLiga right here in this building a year ago, topping the LA Galaxy in PKs. But, los Tuzos also lost a game right here to the same Galaxy squad, dropping a 2-1 result in the tournament opener. Click to continue reading...

Chivas USA plays its first ever competitive international game tonight against SuperLiga and CONCACAF Champions Cup title holders Pachuca.

So it's a hell of a time for goalkeeper Lance Parker (Missouri State) to make his professional debut. Parker is favored over presumed starter Dan Kennedy with Brad Guzan headed to England's Aston Villa.

Most of Mexico's offseason moves are limited to one day, draft day.

Now, the Mexican "draft" is not a draft like in MLS or other American leagues. The Mexican draft is really more like a swap meet or a rummage sale, where teams pass players off to fellow teams via loans or outright transfers. Click to continue reading...
