Yep, confirmed by Rivarola.

“No tengo ninguna duda, vamos a ir con Miguel Calero, Paul Aguilar, Marco Iván Pérez, Gerardo Rodríguez, Gregorio Torres; Jaime Correa, Christian Giménez, Damián Álvarez, Juan Carlos Rojas; Damián Manso y Juan Carlos Cacho, ese es el equipo que va a iniciar”.

By the players in the lineup I'm guessing something along the lines of a 4-5-1? Not too happy about G. Rodríguez as a center back but the rest looks good including Rojas getting a shot at the starting eleven.

This perhaps?:

Calero

Aguilar-----Pérez---Rodríguez-----G. Torres

Rojas------Correa

Giménez----Manso----Álvarez

Cacho

Go Tuzos! Way to get the road win:D

I didn't get to see the match. How did Manso look???? Anyone than the regular studs standout????

[Naui_Ocelotl]

2-3 in our favor. :) Goals from Cacho, Álvarez and Giménez!

Manso looked decent for his first official game, wasn't directly involved in the goals but surely he'll improve as time goes on.

Good to know!
Had to miss the game due to other issues I had to do.Also good to hear that Cacho scored.

Chaco has been suspended for diving (http://www.terra.com.mx/articulo.aspx?articuloId=854185)

Looks like he will be out.

[Naui_Ocelotl]

Don't get me wrong I don't condone diving by any means but that suspension had better be backed up by some consistency. I'd like to think that every dive will be dealt with in the same fashion by the FMF from now on.

Something I find to be much worse than diving is dirty play though, and I don't see any action being taken on San Luis' Reyes. Hopefully the suits at the federation are going to take similar action to Chaco's punishment against the Televisa player but somehow I doubt it. :rolleyes:

just found this site. i love it. newbie here. so after the edgar benitez penalty. which i dont think it was but he didnt try to fool the ref, i think they should suspend the ref if they are ganna suspend a player for trying to fool the ref. thats just my opinion what do you guys think??

Welcome.
But I don't agree with the ref being suspended.It falls more on the player.

[Robdog]

gonna be a real hard game for pachuca seeing we have to go to cancun and play an atlante with santiago solari

[Naui_Ocelotl]

I'm still not convinced Solari is a great signing like most of the media seems to be, we shall see though.

Agreed. It's hype for the Atlante wagon.:rolleyes:
