I see. How much would that be in your opinion? I am just curious cause even at the low end, is still probably 3x what Bolivar pays. Keep in mind, Bolivar's roster total probably run 3million at most USD. I remember figures came out of how much we were paying vs. everyone else in the libertadores a couple years ago, and it was crazy how little money Bolivian clubs play with vs. bigger clubs in South America.
I don't know if it's true or not, but the annoucners said the grass was higher last night so the ball slowed down and tired the players more. Pretty smart--same thing when a team wets the field before the game begins.
in copa libertadores you have to kill when you can or you will be killed and that happened to Leon. They could scored at least 3 goals per game in the 4 matches they faced but Boselli, Elias, Gullit, Montes and Britos missed a lot of chances. regarding Santos that goal in the last minute (94'), hopefully doesn't affect tonight.
Probably wet the shit out of it too before the game. I still don't get how players slip now a days though--with soft ground studs keeping you PLANTED with technology now. Personally I am amazed how they get grass to grow at that altitude lol.
Traditionally, yes. It is the big three that usually do well here. The rest just tend to disappoint even though the league is so socialist. Will saints finally change this?
I know las Chivas son coperas, but of late they're playing like crap, and are one of the weaker teams in the MX. I don't see them doing better than León, at the moment. PS: 13 out of 18 in the descenso table. How the mighty have fallen!
And they will be starting in 16 place next season, just above Puebla and the Ascenso team. It will be goooood.
Mexico's a member of CONCACAF, not CONMEBOL, and is obligated to send its best teams to its own confederation championship. [/argument]
dude youre contracdicting yourself, first you critizise gullit's gold cup performances now your justifying herrera's bad displays under chepo, dont you know chepo coached the gold cup team? BTW the Costa rica game had more importance and much more pressure than the friendly vs Nigeria which you are using to hype up Herrera's MX NT performances Gullit has played better in the league than the level herrera reached during the olympics, the olympics werent herrera's best games
The problem is that the level of competition is so uneven in Concacaf that Mexico always ends up dominating the tournament no matter what teams end up going. Therefore, Concachafa would be improved much more by having the teams that qualify for Libertadores switch with the teams that qualify for Concacaf
We will cuz I think the last thing Chivas needs right now is to qualify for another tournament. They really need to get 2-3 quality refuerzos and get their ish together before stretching themselves with 2 tourneys
I'm justifying EVERYONE's displays under chepo... Did you not read this: If the Costa Rica game is the only international game bar NZ you can provide of Gullit doing well then I rest my case. And fyi, he played decent, you make it seem like he was out of this world. Like I said before, if Gullit can only play great in Liga MX then how useful is he to us? He's a league player. That's who he'll be and that's where he'll stay. And LOL at comparing the league to the Olympics.
1. No, youre only justifying herrera, you keep mentioning gullit's gold cup performannces 2. Gullit against CR was better than anything herrera has done in important NT games 3. Not comparing anything, but why do you even keep mentioning the olympics? Dont you get that herrera didnt do much there? 4. The best herrera we saw was against u23 Concacaf bums and unimportant toulon tournament, by your logic he is not even a "league player" because he didnt even reach gullit's level in liga mx BTW arent you the same guy who takes credit away from Vela every chance you get?
1. I went on to mention other international matches and Libertadores and you kept insisting on CR. 2. It's relative. Doing great against Brazil and co. is a lot better than doing superb against Costa Rica. 3. He did. Herrera was good in the Olympics (admittedly, not absolutely outstanding, but very good). This is probably what put him in teams' spotlight. 4. He did very well at Pachuca. People fail to see this because Pachuca was horrible back when Herrera was with them. He created many chances only for the forwards to fack everything up time and time again. I am a guy that criticizes Vela when necessary or when I see fit. I don't want to delve into this for the sake of not turning this into another Vela argument thread. What does this have to do with Gullit btw?
1. I mentioned the Costa rica game because according to you he sucked against everyone except NZ 2. Except he didnt do great, cumplio lo que tena le pidio, hasta ahi 3. What got him in the teams spotlight was the toulon tournament, not the olympics. Herrera's performances declined in the proceso since the Spain game before the olympics(which in he looked great) 4. He was good, gut not as good as gullit was for leon. He was also super inconsistent 5. Nothing, just wondering why you take credit from 2 of Mexico's most talented players
