The Song Remains the Same

"Es la misma canción y no puedo perder credibilidad con los futbolistas," Jose Luis Sanchez Sola told ESPN Radio show Raza Deportiva after Puebla players threatened to not paticipate in the upcoming Interliga tourney.

"No es cuestión de dinero, como tampoco es cuestión de tiempo. Nos hacen otra patraña; no tienen nombre. Quieren pagar sueldos hasta el 14 de enero, aunque todo estaba confirmado para pagar ayer. Es lo único que tengo para dar y me mantengo en esa línea porque no soy cómplice de esa decisión. No me presento a entrenar hasta que se solucione".

Y Ramoncito Que?

The treatment that Ramon Morales has been receiving as of late from Club Guadalajara is full of FAIL. Sure the player's time to leave the club has come but this could have been resolved in a better way. Morales deserves a better farewell and not be ushered through the back door.

Fracazul

This Cartoon is full of WIN. Terrazas does a great job of showing what is going through the minds of the Cruz Azul faithful who have suffered, at least, five straight championship defeats; from Interliga to League finals.

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a club, and then I found a club
And heaven knows I'm miserable now.. .

El Loco Bielsa

Reports from Chile have begun circulating a rumor that FMF officials have approached Marcelo "Loco" Bielsa and offered him the reigns of the Tricolor. Supposedly, Javier Aguirre has already told FMF that he will return to Europe after the World Cup is over and the Argentine is the prime candidate to take over the Mexican national team.

Charlize and Me

I do not remember much of previous World Cup draw's but South Africa's will be memorable if only because of Charlize Theron. There she was holding the balls that would predict Mexico's group outcome and for a moment I could care less who the Tricolor drew because we were in safe hands.

As for the group I must admitt I am excited that Mexico will open against the hosts and the weakest group rival. A draw and or win is very possible. France will be though and closing against Uruguay should be memorable.
