If there’s one thing that gets my weekend off to a great start its a Chicharito brace. Or MOTM performance by Lozano. Or Jimenez scoring a game winner versus Manchester United. The current crop of Mexicans Abroad might finally be changing the conversation when it comes to foreign clubs signing Mexicans.

Champions and Europa League mid-week games loom over this weekend. Don’t be surprised if clubs switch up their squads to keep certain players fresh for those mid-week games. 

The first matchday of Europa League and Champions League is now behind us. Back to league play for our Mexicans Abroad…

The Champions League is here. So is its little brother, Europa League. Let’s try to keep track of how our Mexicans are doing. Even if a couple of them are in the Group of Death with Barcelona….

It’s that time of year. The newest version of FIFA is about to release and you know what that means: time to argue over player ratings. Mexico players have been getting more respect from EA Sports.

It has been a long time coming but ESPN’s attempt at a direct to consumer streaming network is here. Unfortunately for some, it was not what they were hoping for. They were hoping for a full replacement to ESPN & ESPN2 but that’s not going to happen as long as ESPN keeps getting subscriber fees from cable companies. Once you get past that disappointment, you will realize they have built a great streaming service for cord cutters and cable subscribers alike. And if you are a fan of soccer, it is more than worth your $5 a month.
