El Tri have another tournament this summer because well, how else is CONCACAF going to make money if they don’t hold the Gold Cup every 2 years. If you’re a fan of Mexico, you will notice several national team stalwarts missing. Some due to injuries, others for personal reasons and one because he pissed off the new coach…

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 might be only a month or so in for most European leagues but let’s take a quick look at how our Mexicans Abroad are doing before previewing the weekend’s schedule.

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. Gone are the days when the highest rated Mexican is in the mid-70s. While many players play multiple positions, my list will focus on what FIFA 19 has as their “best” position in the game. (Except for Layun, I looked up to see what his rating was as a left back.) 

Nearing the half way point of the LigaMX season and with El Tri releasing a new schedule, there was plenty to discuss on this week’s episode.

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.
