I would say the titles from the 60's 70's 80's and don't mean jack. However, the ones from the last 6 years or so do have some value.
Tell that to the Costa Ricans Interamericana didn't mean jack? [youtube]bTjJ76ms42s[/youtube] If we were to count the last six years we'd still be up on Chivas 2-0
The Concacaf title's prestige is the same No one gives a f'k about it in the early stage and once you get to the later rounds EVERYONE wants to win it. Whats the difference between Chivas v Pachuca in 07 and America v Monterrey in 87 Or Puebla v Chivas in 91 Or U de G v Pumas in 78 Ateltico Espanol v Monterrey in 75 They all wanted to beat each other Ya only 6 years ago it had value. pfft As far as the Interamericana goes Someone should tell Velez they celebrated too much http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtwMQ7DVw3w Or Nacional that they shouldn't have sold out Centenario for a measly Interamericana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATvAzGwIov4 Or Colo Colo because beating Puebla is meh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXvMZAh_Tho
A 3 game series Apparently away goals didn't count that torneo Last year they didn't count count either but Grondona and company forgot A title is a title You don't see me bashing the Copa Merconorte do you?
Professionals are professionals. They got where they are because they don't like to lose. A celebration does not make a tournament worthy. When I win a game, whether it's a cascarita or some pick up B-ball game, I rub it in because I don't like to lose. I'm no professional but I hate to lose. I'm not gonna devalue the accomplishment completely because there is some inherent value in it, but to pretend that it gives America fans the right to come in here and laugh is well.....just down right laughable.
Either did total goals as well. You also don't see me bragging about the fact that America de Cali won it.
Of course not this is the Mexico forum. NO one said this was the Copa Libertadores But a title is a title and America has won more than Chivas Asi de facil So when they say you haven't done sh*t internationally All we have to do is look at the trophy room Its not our fault America could beat fellow Mexican teams or Costa Rican teams internationally.
I love how most Americanistas in this forum dont give the US credit for the 5 Gold Cups they've won but they want to say America is great because they won some ************ Concacaf Cups.
First of all they've won 4 And secondly who doesn't give them credit? And finally stop talking out of your ass and don't bring up a topic that has nothing to do with what we are talking about
At the end of it all I sleep pretty well at night knowing that you would rather have more league titles.
You're right 4 titles. What difference does it make? You're still gloating over these "International Cups" that mean nothing.
I've always thought that us Mexicanos here in the States value tourneys like Sudamericana/Libertadores more than our paisas back in Mexico. Stadiums always look empty.
I'm not gloating all I did was laugh at a guy who talked crap before the thing was over. Then I responded to Nacho who got all mad about it Its not my fault you guys haven't been able to win more of those small international tournaments. If anything it makes you guys look worse. 46 years without winning a regional tournament.
Come on now don't you remember the huge crowds that came out for the final between America and DC? Even Coco Basile was glued to the tv set to watch the final.
