They lost the first leg of the Final to Querataro 1-0.

Second leg's tomorrow afternoon.

 

Xolos went all out for the U20s final, bringing in Arriola and Amando, but to no available as they lost to Queretaro.

The match went to PKs after a 3-2 Xolos win (3-3 in aggregate),
Requejo missed his PK; Arce made his. Queretaro won PKs 4-3.

 

Club Tijuana has transfer listed....everyone on the first team roster.

CLUB TIJUANA TO HAVE THIRD DIVISION TEAM IN HERMOSILLO

 

Several Yanks in this preseason 1st team friendly:

Line ups:

Club Tijuana: 33. Federico Vilar, 3. Yasser Corona, 335. Angel Uribe, 2. John Requejo, 285. Miguel Rodríguez, 26. Juan Carlos Medina, 4. Gregory Garza, 10. Ignacio Malcorra, 28. Amando Moreno, 24. Luis Chavez, 7. Gabriel Hauche.

Coach: Miguel Herrera.

Cimarrones de Sonora: Sergio Arias (P), Darwin Torres, Juan de Alba, Erick pedroza, Martín Orozco, Jorge Gastelum, Aldo Polo, Miguel Vallejo, Cristian Ibanovsky, Othoniel Arce y Roger Rojas.


Coach: Juan Carlos Chavez.

FINAL SCORE:
XOLOS 1, CIMARRONES 0

And based on the numbering system, looks like Requejo has moved up to the first team.

 

A few more YAs came on as subs:

76' Cambio Xoloitzcuintle: Carlos López ingresa por Federico Vilar. @CimarronesFC 0-0 @Xolos

60' Cambios Xoloitzcuintles: @PaulArriola y Milton Caraglio ingresan por Juan Carlos Medina y Luis Chávez. @CimarronesFC 0-0 @Xolos

— Xolos 🐕 (@Xolos) July 3, 2016

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but according to Transfermarkt, Joe Corona's and Stevie Rodriguez's respective loans at Sinaloa and Atlante have ended and they both have moved back to Club Tijuana's first team.

 

Current Tijuanamerica roster AFAIK-

Starting XI
GK: Carlos Lopez
DF: John Requejo, Michael Orozco, Raul Rodriguez, Greg Garza
MF: Joe Corona, Alejandro Guido, Fernando Arce Jr., Stevie Rodriguez
FW: Paul Arriola, Amando Moreno

Bench
Angel Uribe, Franco Mestre, Carlo Chavez, Juan Monticelli, Victor Ramirez, Guillermo Bermudez, Jonathan Esparza, Diego Nunez, Antonio Nava, Ruben Gonzalez, Lorenzo Ramirez, Jesus Enriquez, Brandon Vazquez, Ernesto Espinoza, Miguel Padron, Edson Alvarado

No backup keeper, unfortunately. It used to be Adrian Zendejas, but he was signed a few days ago by Swope Park Rangers: http://www.sportingkc.com/post/2016/06/30/swope-park-rangers-sign-goalkeeper-adrian-zendejas

 

One American I'm unclear on whether he's still associated with Tijuana or not is GK Samuel Velazquez.

His Liga MX page doesn't have anything listed for him at Tijuana (or any club) past Clausura 2015, which ended in the middle of 2015: http://ligamx.net/cancha/jugador/92877/samuel-velazquez-tapia

But this article lists him with Tijuana as of August 2015: http://www.vavel.com/mx/futbol-mexicano/524762-segunda-division-premier-club-tijuana-premier.html

And from November 2015, there's this article on him on Tijuana's site which says he's still with the club, and loaned(?) to Nomads Academy in San Diego, including a mention of the USSF liking his play and his desire to play for the US: http://www.xolos.com.mx/en/news/xoloitzcuintles/3330/“

He's continued with Nomads since then, including a start on April 29, 2016 vs. US U-18's:

That Liga MX is starting the season already is amazing. May give some younger Yanks a chance until the roster settles.

Club Tijuana U20 First XI: Requejo, Chavez, Rodriguez, Carmona, Barajas, Landazuri, Enriquez, Sicairos, Arias, Barrera. Coach: R. Chabrand.

Orozco went 90' at CB in a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul. Arriola subbed in for 22 minutes.

 

@Dave Marino-Nachison is digging into the Liga MX database and found these two additions for Xolos:

Diego Nunez U17
http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/diego-nunez-at-tijuana.2034387/

Sergio Gonzalez U17
http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/sergio-gonzález-at-tijuanamerica.2034386/

 

Moreno, Vazquez, Enriquez, and Requejo started for the U20s, who lost 2-0 to Leon.

The U17s did slightly better, winning 8-2. Antonio Nava scored.

 

Tough crowd.

 

The segunda division squad won a match recently with at least two YA:

Club Tijuana: 84 Daniel Gómez, 85 Rodrigo Acevedo, 86 Hiram Muñoz, 87 Daniel Alderete, 90 José Almaráz, 91 Luis García, 99 Mathews Gomes, 100 Leonel Pérez, 102 Manuel Herrera, 107 Edson Alvarado y 111 Samuel Velázquez. COACH: Diego Torres.

http://xolos.com.mx/en/news/xoloitz...-division-team-earns-another-win-at-home.html

 

Huh. Velazquez regularly started for Tijuana U17s in the 2014-15 season, but returned to the US and played for Nomads U18 in 2015-16. I guess he's made the short trip back to Tijuana again.

 

Now that Xolos isn't tweeting out the youth rosters, there hasn't been as much traffic here. But thank goodness for Santos social media. Here's the U17 squad list for today:


Ernesto Espinoza and Antonio Nava are Yanks. Nava scored a PK in the 1st half.

 

The U20s lineup against Santos:


Requejo and Vazquez start.

 

What's up with Requejo?

He was getting some 1st team playing time and now.....
