Well, 7 games without a win, playing good football, but a problem scoring, and the odd defensive lack of concentration seemingly punished every time. I am convinced we are going to win this game. And win it well. Sticking my neck out - it will be 3-0. Amazingly we can still fight for a direct place in Liguilla, however, we need to win this game, and Morelia, Santos and Tigres all have to fail to win, and that would give us a chance next week. However, even to have a chance even for the repechaje we must really win these last two games, and then look to other results. Verlarde fine, Chupa fit again, Ailton looking a bit fitter each week, guess we will see 4-4-2, I wonder if he will be tempted to start with Chupa? He also seems determined to find a way in for Íñiguez, but naturally he would be on the right, but that would need such a massive change in the team, with Parejita, Castro, Leandro, Sancho all so important, what could he do? So I guess it will be Bernal, Velarde, Pikolin, Veron, Castro, Chiapas/Ailton, Sancho, Leandro, Pareja, Paco, Scocco (or Chupa, or Gonzalez) go on:- I've stuck my neck out with scoreline, why don't the rest of you?
I wont go as far as Dale with a 3-0, but I do think we can win, maybe a 1-0 if the backline holds up, 2-1 if it doesn't.
I think just asking for a win at this point is sticking your neck out. But I have a good feeling about this one, so I say 2-0.
well, blimey, who would of thought that. With Tigres, Santos and Morelia all losing, it seems a win against Tigres will see us directly into the liguilla (unless Santos win by 2 more goals then we win by, or morelia win by 4 more goals than we do). Once again we started very strongly, but I spotted the fade after about 10 mins. Ailton's still rusty, but keen, and Tuca's changes were all wrong. S many passes going astray for long periods of the game, didn't seem to want to control the game, when we clearly could have. Once again a draw in a game in which there was no reason for us not to win.
This game was rather frustrating. Sure we had our shots on goal like always but we just cannot turn them into goals. Ailton is still shit. Dude almost missed the goal but I guess he deserves credit for scoring. Lucky set of circumstances we have as Dale pointed out. Hope it doesn't get ********ed up I want to see the team at the big dance On a side note, can we get that 12 year old Chiva troll banned?
Wow Pumas coach exploded against some Pumas fans after the game! they were yelling at him "Fvkc....Tuca you are a loser" to which he responded "Your effing mother, wtf do you want me to do dumbazz" OMG ke palabritas... http://www.milenio.com/mexico/laaficion/nota.asp?id=502828
I lol'ed. Thats some sig material. He seems to have some class, joking around in the press conference.
at this point i dont think we deserve to be in la liguilla...not the way we are going in...i dont expect us to even go to el repechaje even though anything could be possible in this league... dont get me wrong, i do want pumas to be in la liguilla, its just that i really dont think we will do too much once there... the game against san luis sucked again...i am tired of all these ties but glad we will not go to the primera A, which was the reason why tuca was hired... about the article, i am glad tuca answered back and i agree with him that the hour pumas has every sunday at home ********ing sucks and kills the espectaculo as well...who else plays at noon besides pumas?
Pumas has played at noon at home as long as I can remember. Even when they were on canal13. Nowadays, no one else plays at noon, so they have what amounts to an exlusive national television audience. The way this season has gone, I expect pumas to beat tigres because no one is expecting it, and then win a round in the liguilla.
