Copa Oro 2013: July 7 - July 28

Wikipedia trolls bringing the lulz again. I remember "Hip-Breaker" Corona.

 

Biggest question mark on this roster is... who's going to play LW? As crazy as it may sound, my bet is on Ponce.

 

Montes or Fabian?

 

With Talavera replacing Saucedo, he has to be the immediate starter, right?

 

ugh ******** Talavera. Chepo should've brought Molina and Reyna.

 

Marquez Lugo or Cortez can also play there.

 

Oof. We just lost 1-0 to Cruz Azul Hidalgo in a tune-up for Copa Oro, according to El Tri's Twitter.

Though, remember, the Olympic team lost to Leon and soon enough beat Neymar and Brazil at Wembley.

Edited to add: Mexico started Jonathan Orozco, Aldrete, Huiqui, Layun, Velarde, Cortes, Peña, Fabian, Castro, Lugo and Pereira. Subbed in Muñoz, Ponce, Jimenez, Valenzuela, Enriquez, Montes, Brizuela and Chuletita Orozco for Jonathan Orozco, Peña, Cortes, Castro, Layun, Lugo Velarde and Pereira.

CA Hidalgo scored at the 77th.

Either way, new to the board. Looking forward to being here and turning this thing around at Copa Oro and what's left of the Hex. Sale. Nos vemos.

Grr, one last edit: As pointed out, below, it was a tie to Leon. Sorry about that.

 

it was a tie against Leon

 

That sucks.. but it probably means nothing.

 

My bad. I knew that -- 1-1, I remember, with a goal from Aquino, but spaced out and typed lost.

 

Do not look much into that result.

They were probably going 70% trying to get used to each other and the formation(s) while avoiding injuries.

 

70% should be wayyyy more than needed to beat Hidalgo.

 

What a coincidence that the team starts losing when they pass the wheel from Chava to Chepo.

 

I thought chava and el potro were gonna be the main guys not chepo...da fuq....

 

I wanted Tena.

 

Fue culpa de Layun

 

So the Gold Cup squad just lost to a second division team? Nice...
