Posted Friday November 28, 2008, About: Juventus wants all-Italian side
Actually...I remember Iturriaga played in Bilbao. He was born in Mexico City but since his ancestry was all basque country people (dont know what they call thesmelves.lol) they allowed him on the team.) Chivas also has had players born outside Mexico, such as Gerardo Macareno, and el Gringo Padilla. They were allowed on the team because their parents were Mexican.

I don't see nothing wrong with this because this forces your team to rely on finding up and coming talent. This will increase player development in the youth rank, and instead of looking for the next brazilian or argentinian phenom, now you will have to look at smaller teams in Italy that have solid young players.

Posted Saturday November 22, 2008, About: Fire loaning Blanco to Santos Laguna
The rule about Cuau being hired for the playoffs has to do with a rule in the Mexican federation in which you are allowed to buy a player when someone on your current roster is injured for the season. Christian Benitez, who was a starter, is out for the rest of the Liguilla. Chivas wanted to do the same by hiring Nery Castillo when Johnny Magallon went down. That is the only way you are allowed to buy a player this late into the season.

Yea it sucks for the other teams, but the rules are the rules and good for Santos in taking advantage of it.

And dont be surprised if America doesnt end up with Blanco. They are not the high spenders that they once were. Other Mexican teams are willing to lay down some serious cash. For instance Tigres reportedly has offered 5 million dollars for El Bofo Bautista. America rarely spends more than 3 million for a player. In fact Cabanas, their best signing recently, cost them like 1 million. Like always they will go to Argentina to find replacements, and they will fail.

What they need to do is go to Cameroon and find the next Biyik! Or Kalusha! lol. Or you know, steal from San Luis.

Im not too sure about Santos sending some young players to Fire would be a good idea. We kind of saw that with Chivas-Chivas USA, and the only thing good that came out of it was Panchito Mendoza, which I wouldn't be surprised if he made a move to Chivas. The other players Chivas sent to Chivas USA are either still on the bench, or are currently playing the 2nd division in Mexico. And I doubt Santos would want to send important bench players.
Posted Tuesday November 18, 2008, About: Blanco back to Mexico on loan?
Thanks for clearing that up. I think the MLS, and the Mexican League, should do away with the groups. Have the top teams, regardless of conference or groups, play in the playoffs. Just have a regular season table. and pick em. Or should we implement an MLS BCS ranking?lol
Posted Tuesday November 18, 2008, About: Blanco back to Mexico on loan?
ummmm.....back to the issue. America (the team) is just in a crisis and can't figure how to fix it. Bringing back Blanco won't do them good, which by the way has contributed in the MLS.

By the way...How the hell is the conference finals one game and the playoff series before that final 2 games.

And I don't watch the MLS a lot, but how does New York make it to the WESTERN conference finals. Is there a shortage of western cities to host MLS teams? Will they be moved to the east once Seattle. who knows. Or shall I say who knows esse. Since we all talk the same way.

Aguero better not mess up with his girl! One bad move and he's off the squad! Make her happy and ur an automatic starter.lol
Posted Wednesday October 22, 2008, About: Beckham to AC Milan?
I hate to admit it, but like Justin Timberlake said in the espy's while making a gesture of a small amount "you single handedly made soccer this much popular." If the guy leaves, I dont think anyone would care. He hasnt done much. Doesnt even show up on highlight reels. The only positives is that he's selling jerseys,and keeping fans at the home depot center.
Posted Monday October 20, 2008, About: Man U. may axe Tevez
doesn't every team want a forward who can score at least 20 goals? what team goes into a board meeting thinkin...10 goals is good enough.lol. Man utd. should just rejuvenate Pele. Maybe get Maradona since his name doesn't go away.
Posted Saturday October 11, 2008, About: Barca eyes Miami stadium for MLS team
Barca wants to appeal to a large hispanic population. Besides New York, Los Angeles, Texas, and Chicago, where else are they gonna go? Miami is a melting pot with a mixture of Central American people, Caribbean people, South American people.

Its no like the other sports either. Because it is a melting pot in Miami, you have people from New York, Chicago, Boston, etc. They have their loyalties to their yankees, patriots, cubs, etc. But seriously, none of these people are die-hard MLS fans. So y not try to attract with a MIAMI team, not a ft. lauderdale team who called themselves the Miami Fusion.

Also maybe Barcelona could send some B squad players down here for a season or 2.

By the way im watching the Texas vs. OU game and McCoy, Texas quarterback keeps flopping after the late hits to get a penalty on the other team. Its funny how the commentator is saying, Thats soccer! Thats Soccer! lol. I'm like, no!!! thats wat u call winning the game! lol

Salcido is untouchable, just as much as Marquez.
Posted Thursday October 09, 2008, About: Sources: Army to sponsor Newman
We're missing the bigger picture here, the guy clearly is irrelevant down the stretch. No championship caliber team would want someone who's name dissapears during the crucial part of the season.
Posted Saturday October 04, 2008, About: Torres commits to U.S. team
Well yea Aguirre coached Pachuca, but ususally you call up what you know. In 02 he took Gabriel Caballero and Manuel Vidrio from Pachuca because he used to coach. He doesn't know Torres, all he's heard is the Pachuca president's opinion.

By the way.....good job Pachuca on releasing Omar Arellano last year, that one turned out to bite u in the a-s-s-. lol.
Posted Friday October 03, 2008, About: Torres commits to U.S. team
Coach Mexico*
Posted Friday October 03, 2008, About: Torres commits to U.S. team
By the way...Just saw on another website that he rejected a calling before the Sven released his list. Also that Pachuca president talked him out of going to the Beijing games with the US. They told him that Aguirre would be the next coach and that with Aguirre he would get a call up to the squad. But after not being called for the Chile vs. Mexico game he saw no other choice. Which makes you think, if Javier Aguirre of Atletico Madrid were to coach, would he be heavily influenced by Pachuca's president? Seems kinda fishy.
Posted Friday October 03, 2008, About: Torres commits to U.S. team
Jesus Padilla has aready been called up to play for the US but rejected it. Also I do think that there are some undercover reasons why he chose to play with the US. I think it has to do with he believes that he has a legitimate shot to compete with the US while Mexico has a core group of midfielders with literally no chance of Torres of making it to the starting squad. If he chose Mexico he would probably be called for friendlies until one of the group of midfielders would go down or retire. And even if one of those players go down, he would have to compete with other solid midfielders in Mexico.

I hope he succeeds. I've seen him play for pachuca and he has great technique and agility. He easily passes defenders and has a great shot outside of the box.

As for Orozco, the mexican-american community doesn't think positive or negative about him. We think he made the right choice in order become succesful in his career. What many Mexican-Americans don't admit, is that when it comes to competitions, the United States is our second team. We're not as passionate as when we see Mexico, but you have some passion to see the United States make it far. I remember I wanted the US to beat Germany in the 02 world cup after they had eliminated Mexico, and I was pretty pissed too when the US got robbed in that game. Even my dad, born in Mexico, was cheering for the US to win that game against Germany. And I think that little passion that we have for the USMNT is what makes some of these Mexican-American players chose to play for the US. Or I could be wrong and they couldve been die-hard Alexi Lalas fans which led them to like the USMNT.lol

Posted Tuesday September 23, 2008, About: Blanco to return to Mexico with San Luis?
Dont be shocked! I believe he'll stay in Chicago...........but.........San Luis is owned by America. So I wouldnt be surprised. Most probable thing is he'll end up in America since they cant find a way to win without him.
Posted Monday September 22, 2008, About: Crew star wants to coach Boca
Why do some players think they could just walk in and coach a team with no experience. Makes as much sense as makin the ball boy (aka equipment manager) be vice president of operations of the team. Prove that you are able to coach a big team please. Dont just send your playing career as a resume'.
Posted Saturday September 20, 2008, About: Maradona bringing son-in-law to Inter
If kun wants to be succesful, STAY IN ATLETICO!!! He's the star player of a team who has a legitamite shot at winning La Liga this year and make a good run in the Champions League. What more do you want? Staying in Atletico will make him legendary.

And if I was Atletico, I'd do anything to make this player happy. He's already said that he is happy there. Now prove it by making him the highest paid player in the world!

What is Maradona doing? Shouldnt he be doing these jobs for Napoli? Aint that a stab in the back.
Posted Tuesday September 16, 2008, About: Chivas eyeing ex-Barca legend Koeman
It's kool man. Well the 100% Mexican dates back to the das the team was made. The team was created by a Belgian and wanted to bring more Belgians to replace the Mexicans on the team. They got rid of the Belgian and hence the tradition of all mexican players.

I believe that we will se change in that policy. With the contreversy of Jesus Padilla being born in Texas (supposedly) I think it will soon be anyone with Mexican ancestry. Or it should change because of the large number of Mexicans living in the United States.

As for coaches, Chivas has had international coaches throughout its history. I believe in the 50s they had an argentinan coach and even in the 70s.

I like the idea of Koeman because Mexico is notorious for reusing mediocre coaches. Teams recycle coaches and the same losing formula happens. Chivas would be different in that they wouldnt look outside, but train the people from the inside. Right now there isnt a "big name" assistant, such as Benjamin Galindo (Cruz Azul), Chepo De La Torre (Toluca), or Daniel Guzman (santos). With Koeman at least u have a fresh face, and not one of those recycled coaches.

Flores wasn't even the first candidate for coach when he was hired, the son of Chava Reyes was. They couldnt hire him tho because of his contract with Necaxa. Flores was an interim coach who previously worked in the youth system. He had a good run, but its time to pass the torch.
