Toluca will play Marthon on Thursday
It was looking very shaky for a while, but Toluca will indeed be traveling to Honduras for their Concachampions tilt vs. Marathon. Toluca had decided against making the trip because they were not sure that the safety of the team was guaranteed. Honduran officials, however have assured them they will safe, so game on.
Jonathan and Edgar Pacheco.
Jonathan Dos Santos is in Mexico’s camp for their upcoming friendly vs. Colombia at the Cotton Bowl. He’ll likely be in the spotlight whether he plays or not. Meanwhile, Javier Aguirre needs to see if he can rely on anyone to fill the very large shoes vacated by both Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Giovani Dos Santos, who likely will miss the last two qualifers with injuries. It won't be Jona. He plays an entirely different position.
Three of the four Mexican teams who are in the concachampions released players of the upcoming friendly. Concacaf can’t complain. Relying mostly on reserves, all of the Mexican teams are on top of their respective groups. The only team that didn’t give up any players was Pumas. Maybe that’s a good thing.
Arnhold Rivas is a very talented prospect. But that doesn’t matter right now. He’s been waiting for his time to come with Club America. He’ll have to wait a little longer. I’m sure he won’t mind.
Rivas, his father, and another associate were all injured in a car crash early this morning on a highway in Michoacán. All three sustained injuries. His father, Eligio, has a broken arm, the companion, a fractured pelvis. Rivas had a head injury, and needed immediate surgery. The procedure went well. Rivas is expected to recover fully and make it back on to the field for next season.
Recupérate pronto, Arnhold y que se recuperen todos.

As far as I can tell, the U.S. and Toluca did exactly the same thing. They said that the game might have to be moved if they can't be sure their players will be safe.Quote:Originally Posted by Perndog2006

Toluca ultimately got some assurances of extra security from the Honduran federation and decided to go ahead. As of now, the U.S. is going as well, pending any changes in the situation.
So what exactly makes one team prudent and the other one cowardly?Posted 29 Sep 2009 at 09:09 AM by chapka

The US hasn't pulled out and has never said they won't go. They've said their concerned about the political situation. Any federation that wasn't at least concerned about the developments would be acting in a manner that borders on criminal negligence.
Amazing what some Mexican homers will jump on.Posted 29 Sep 2009 at 09:51 AM by Celtigo

Toluca are obviously scared, I wonder how it will affect their play.Posted 29 Sep 2009 at 10:26 AM by Gioca

Here is the money quote from the article, which some folks evidently neglected to read
"Vamos darle un voto de confianza a las autoridades, al Marathón y a la Federación de Honduras. Nos sujetamos a que ellos nos dijeran cuales eran las condiciones de seguridad y si va la selección de Estados Unidos a jugar, nosotros a nivel de clubes estamos aceptando"
Fernando Ramos, Toluca President.
Fast and loose translation: "we are giving the Hondurans the benefit of the doubt. Frankly, if the US MNT can play there, then it's good enough for teams at the club level."Posted 29 Sep 2009 at 10:52 AM by John Jagou
