Reunited and it feels so good…… (Hopefully)
Its almost time for the November friendlies aka Judgement Day for Vela. The games will be important but all anyone has been talking about since the Panama game has been Carlitos Vela. Will he or won’t he? No one really knows, at least for a few more days. But if you ask me, he will be there.
Vela is just one of Piojo’s 22 call ups. Who will the other 21 be? This is who I would like to be called up. Continue reading
El Brody
It was Jorge Campos’ birthday this past week (10/15) and he is my Compadre de la Semana. Now on to the club games this weekend…
After a strong performance against Honduras, Piojo is hoping to go 2 for 2. Let’s preview the matchup versus another CONCACAF team.
It was a nervy start for El Tri. Which seems to be the standard for friendlies w/new players adapting to Piojo’s system. The new guys had to adapt to the 3 man backline since all 3 play with 4 in the back at their clubs. I think they did well after a shaky start and the backline was solid after the first 20 or so minutes. While I don’t agree fully with Piojo’s assessment of his new look back 3, they improved as the game went along.

The October friendlies are upon us and Mexico will actually play them in Mexico. Just how rare is a Mexico game in the country of Mexico?
Game vs. Honduras is El Tri’s second friendly in the Mexico in the past 2 years, compared to 12 in the United States in that time.

That rare. National team games are like printing money in the US (and the federation has a contract to play a certain # of games there). Let’s see what Piojo has in store for us tonight. Continue reading
HNOS. DOS SANTOS
While the Dos Santos provided a nice moment as the brothers shared the field against Real Madrid, Raul Jimenez was El Compadre de la Semana. Let’s see the schedule this weekend..
While I was unable to see Chicharito make his first Champions League start in nearly a year, Josh saw it unfold. His recap and highlights follow.
