Incredible these defenders' ability to be somehow caught off guard with these obvious backheel passes that Madrid has been doing since like minute 2.
Why? This is the reality of our country's football. Anyone who watched the old club world cup over the years knows it. Any Liga MX team implanted in a top euro league would have a Derby City performance. But most people here pretend like that isn't obvious. Bringing Jimmy is embarrassing though. But a more superficial problem.
pachuca should have back almada not the players. they really goofed up with this decision. same sh!t with tigres.
Under Almada, this Pachuca team would have surely gotten the results. Who at Pachuca thought it would be a good idea to bring in Jimmy?
I don't really care about this tournament but to whatever degree I can judge Lozano's performance, it's going to be a rough season. Chaka's inclusion after that first match is unreal. I get going with experience when two teams are of similar quality. But they're facing a far fitter team that plays direct, modern football and that can basically tear the defense apart at a preseason pace. No experience in the world is going to fill that physical difference. Cotorro isn't some physical world beater but has done ok. Yo me la hubiera jugado con Carlos Sanchez.
The latest he was going to leave is after this tournament so it depends on how much you decide to care about it. The only thing that's going to ever make this tournament more than just a nice experience for the players, getting to say they played vs Madrid, is a complete revamp of our sport. This country has the funniest and most tragic mix of qualities that together make it terrible at the sport.
The really awesome thing is the price money we never had a chance of winning in the first place, will be made up by now charging Chivas 12 million for cotorro bc he had a couple of nice shots.
Este hincha de River PRENDIÓ FUEGO SU AUTO para cobrar el seguro, le dieron 10 MIL DÓLARES y se fue a Los Ángeles con su hijo al Mundial de Clubes.“Después lo recuperamos, este momento no se recupera más”.Increíble. 😅🇦🇷pic.twitter.com/ahKXDQCLKm— Ataque Futbolero (@AtaqueFutbolero) June 23, 2025
