SAF Puts the Kibosh on Chicharito’s Olympic Odyssey
In a somewhat surprising, yet understandable announcement yesterday, FEMEXFUT announced that Javier Hernandez will not be part of Mexico’s Olympic plans.

3-0 – The Most Misleading Score in Soccer?
So it was Super Bowl and Puppy Bowl Sunday yesterday. A television porgrammers dream, and a counter-programmer’s nightmare. As for the footiephiles, we got a special treat. Chelsea-Manchester United on over the air TV. And when the Blues went up 3-0…. I’ll admit I am somewhat of a neophyte when …

Even Javier Hernandez didn’t expect his season to turn out the way it did. “I dreamed about playing for Manchester United and thought perhaps in my first season I’d play for the Reserves with maybe a few minutes in the first team. But thanks to the boss and all my …
I had some work in the Metroplex this past weekend. On the drive up, I was able to keep track of Racing Santander’s game on twitter. Pathetic, I know. Giovani Dos Santos’ two scores were the difference in the game, and team with the ugliest uniforms in the world took …

Javier Hernandez netted another 2 goals, leading Mexico to an unexpectedly easy victory over Paraguay. The 3-1 result at the Oakland Coliseum gave all the fans, over 65,000 of them, reason to prolong their celebration. Okay, they really didn’t need a reason, but it was a nice excuse. Ho hum, …
