Huge win on the road for the Cruz Azul backups… and what’s going on this year with Saprissa at home? They never let people walk into the Purple Monster and take points.
Cruz Azul has officially presented Enrique Meza as their new head coach for the fourth time in his career, just weeks after walking away from Pachuca following the disappointment of failing to capture the 2009 Clausura.
After a disastrous 2009 Clausura campaign that ended with a 2 - 8 - 6 record, Cruz Azul sacked former Mexican International Benjamin Galindo on Tuesday.
Damn good game.
After coming back from a 2 - 0 deficit and sending the final match of the Apertura season to penalties, Cruz Azul just couldn’t do enough as Toluca took the title after going 7 - 6.
And how unlucky was Yosgart Gutierrez, the Cruz Azul keeper after Toluca’s shot hit the crossbar, bounced off the ground, hit him in the back and rolled in.
Cruz Azul through with a 3 - 1 Aggregate over UNAM Pumas.
Even though they lost it’s great to see my boy Paco score a great opening goal.
Just got done with the Concacaf Champions League first leg between Cruz Azul and Hankook Verdes down at the FSC studios with my boy Jon Herz.
While it’s still only the Preliminaries, Cruz Azul was on fire tonight against a much weaker opponent.
Tomorrow night it’s Puerto Rico Islanders down in Costa Rica against Alajuelense.
Although some of you have might not have an interest in Mexican Football, I thought I’d share with you an experience I recently had. A couple of weeks ago I was hired by Las Aguilas de Club America from Mexico City to cover their time in San Diego during the team’s international friendly match against bitter rivals Cruz Azul. I got to be embedded with the team for 48 hours that included down time at the Hotel and training session on Friday evening in an empty Qualcomm stadium.
