A bogey team for us, they have had by far the best of it in recent times....
Bernal is down to "doubtful", but seems Ailton and Gonzalez still both definitely out... great to see Scocco looking so fit last week, I would want to start with him, and Palencia, probably, maybe with Scocco alongside, Palencia would not keep dropping too deep.
I think Velarde back at left back, and Chiapas in for Ailton, he played better each game so far, lets hope he continues....
Last time we had a bright and enjoyable nil all draw at home... I honestly see another draw on Sunday, and, to be honest, I think I would be happy with that....

A draw in Toluca will be a good result. Ties on the road, win at home, get to the goal of 24+ points.

...what up people...
...i have been in vacation in mexico for a month and two weeks already...yet, i have only seen one pumas game this season and i went to see it live...did not see you disco at the atlas game...
...hope to go to toluca tomorrow, hope to find tickets...
...for what i saw in the first game, we are a bit similar than last season...need some finishers up front...seems like palencia is getting better?...nice to see chiapas back in the line up...
...hope to get a positive result tomorrow...:cool:

...no I looked out for your friend at the Atlas game - don't forget we have Santos at CU wednesday night 8.30 ... maybe see you there...
...Bernal, Ailton and Gonzalez definitely out... but I think Palencia is slowly getting back into it, and Scocco's return last week could not really have been much better.. so thats all good news.....
...I can't make Toluca, am very annoyed by it, but there it is.... anyway, I still think I would be more or less happy with 5 points from the three games this week.... talking of which, I don't think I can make Pachuca next Saturday either... ggrrr.....

Beautiful boot by Paco on a pass from Israel Castro.
Pumas 1-0.

...half time...
...yes, lovely goal... and now with them down to 10 we should be able to expect to win this....
..however, we do need to keep our cool, this ref will card anything....
....we also need to take more control in the middle, and hold onto the ball .....
...maybe see scocco off at half time.....

That was an awesome goal. Hopefully we can get at least one more.

Toluca has dominated possession and got hosed on that second yellow caution. The PUMAS goal was a good one, but the refs handed this game to them.

I wouldn't say that... he's given very poor decisions both ways... I am not at all convinced that this won't be the only red card we see today....

There almost has to be another red card with the calls he's making. That was a pretty nice goal. Pumas should be able to hold on to the three points, and probably knock in another goal, but we'll see...

I stand corrected, what a beautiful header on the corner kick.

Great moves by Vicente Sánchez to tie it up, 2-2.

....2-2 ft...
.
...reasonably happy with the result, but very disappointed with the performance.... once again simply unable to make the extra man count...
...unable to hold onto the ball...unable to control the game....in 2nd half we didnt seem to play until last 5....
...too many players shaken too easily off the ball....too often the pass made too late... and too often the pass failing to find its man....
...both goals very annoying....1st was a very badly defended corner... second Velarde lost the ball weakly... and left pareja to try and defend it.... in a way it is good we kept pushing forward... but i was worried we would lose it.....
...still, I would have taken a point there away...
Viva RoCkism!

the palencia goal, intentional or not? (beautiful by the way,)

does it matter?
Unfortunately though I wasnt able to watch the game. Apparently it was a very good one at that. Saw the highlights and it looked good. What I'm wonder though is if Toluca started bunkering after Viades got sent off

I would have to say he was attempting to control it, but got it all wrong.... but there are worse ways of being wrong.....

Sometimes when I am playing golf, I hit an awful shot that ends up 2 feet from the pin. I don't complain, I remember...it's not the action, it's the result.

Normally a great result but today it was a bad one. And everyone just saying how UNAM had the game and let it go, up 1 guy and playing better and just let them have the ball. That header by Da Silva was pathetic. Just sorrounded by UNAM players and he heads it in alone.
Well whatever at least we been playing better and the big big big game is coming up on wednesday against Santos. Hopefully we play this game like the final that it is as it is key for the decenso. This may be the biggest game all season and I hope the team is ready for it. Unfortunately once again, I can´t make it to the stadium for this one. Whatever, if they win, is all worth it.
