    Ok. So what is the exact corruption on Pachuca's part?

    According to Televisa they don't pay taxes and got help from the government for the land they used to build their university.

    here is an interview with Jesus Gonzalez defending himself claiming they did nothing illegal and that many other Liga MX has done things similar including Necaxa (owned by Televisa)

    brushed under the mat

    so, it's not common for liga mx teams to have that kind of arrangement?

    My guess is teams like Chivas, America, Monterrey and Tigres don’t need any help from local gov. This is more something that (I thought) teams with less money sometimes do. Hidalgo es estado pobre y Pachuca una ciudad pequeña so it’s not surprising that the gov gives GP certain perks.

    Did Vergara ever pony up cash for the infrastructure upgrades in GDL out to Omnilife/Estadio Chivas?

    I think the local government caved and built it.

    Nevada gave how much to Tesla for the Gigafactory?

    A lot.

    It happens.

    It might be bad economics, but it surely happens.

    Seeing prosinecki on the bench reminded me of a conversation I had last week...

    Who needs a guy that plays with the ball attached to his foot and pick apart the defense in the attacking third and as a deep lying playmaker?

    Fuk that, we need ATHLETES

    If anything, bring them home. Play in Estadio Victor Manuel Reyna in the south, or in Estadio Calienete, Tijuana, or Ciudad Juarez. It won't give you as much return, but you keep 100% of the profit, while USSF gets 0.

    Molero or not, big European names or not, you're letting people see the team live. They'll take their families, sell out the stadium and have a great time. The alternative is nothing while Mexico City gets 100% of the official matches.

    This is too much to ask, Mexico to play in Mexico, outside of CDMX, forget I even brought it up...

    I don't know the split but based on ticket prices alone, I bet 20% or even 10% of a molero in the US generates more revenue for FMF than 100% of one in Mexico. And didn't Mexico not sell out some of its home qualifiers? Or was that last cycle?

    In Mexico you just have this trick of attacking the powerful and people immediately think that makes you alright. It's how Joserra has his "credibility" with so many people even when Azteca became the same shit as Televisa.
