We don't have a lot of posters on here but we should still try to stay current. Good place to vent for us Cruz Azulinos.

Not impressed with the way the team has been playing so far. hope we can get more wins and be less wasteful in front of the goal.
This is the best this team has been playing in a long while, sadly. I doubt Boy brings the title, but it's at least good to not dread watching Cruz Azul play.
Hey last season they were so bad that they weren't even generating any chances so there's improvement.
Nine weeks in so how about a report card. We should now be in mid-season form according to the MLSers so it's a good time to take stock on the team. First, they lead the league in goals scored with 19 (yeah !) Unfortunately they are 14th worse in goals allowed with 14 (boo) Their 10 points at home is tied for second best with Pachuca but they are 11th when it comes to points on the road with 4. They have 11 yellow cards (10th worst) and 3 reds (3rd worst behind Veracruz and America). So middle of the pack on yellows but doing poorly when it comes to reds. The best thing about this team is that they are entertaining again. No doubt there are still things to work out but I had no big expectations for this Clausura. I figured Boy needed at least until next year to show something but I think Liguilla should be reachable. The Bueno era was the worst I've ever had to endure. Tomas Boy is not perfect but at least you can enjoy the games again. I'll even watch the Copa MX games.
Definitely the most entertaining I've seen the team. Still think we look a bit clumsy going forward, but I think that's just the talent we have Anyone wanna clear up what Boy said after the Pumas game
You mean about the whole fascism thing ? First I think he was mainly referring to the arm salute and not the actual hymn itself though I'm just inferring that based on what I read. I don't think he was objecting to any of the words. Also I don't buy that the blame for the early goal was the UNAM hymn. Here's his quote - "Lo que está mal es que mi equipo deba esperar 10 minutos para que ellos hagan un Himno que para mí es fascista." So yeah, whatever. That's Boy for you. I'd much rather have that than a milquetoast manager that does nothing to motivate his team. If the team is winning it really doesn't bother me.
Fvcking Boy lmaoooo He's just a dumbass and he's always kinda been. Nothing new. Hope he comes back next game
He should be back next game. While we're at it, I've always wondered why the MFL lets Pumas do their little sing-along skit before every game. Does that mean any team can go through a pre-match ritual if they want? Can the opposing team do something while Pumas chant ? Rather than just stand around and wait for Pumas to finish maybe Cruz Azul could have done a conga line or something around the Pumas players.
It's tradition at this point innit? I don't see why other teams can't as long as it doesn't delay with the start time
Which was Boy's complaint - that it delayed the game. I don't think it was quite 10 minutes but still it makes you wonder how much teams can get away with if they wanted to.
Personally think he's making a mountain out of a molehill. Doesn't really affect the team much does it?
Of course not. The Pumas goal was just off of sloppy defending from Cruz Azul. Nothing to do with the UNAM anthem. Still it's funny to see how Boy takes his jabs at other teams. He does this on purpose. Did you see Hugo Sanchez' response? If Boy's intention was to get a rise from somebody, it certainly worked.
Unbelievable. Gimenez missed a pk in the last minute of extra time that would ensure the 3 points vs Puebla.
We've got a struggling Atlas up next. Hoping to scratch out 3 points this upcoming weekend and feasting!
The team is exciting to watch. Boy have changed the team and I am glad i was wrong about the team. Copa mx trophy is definitely reachable now. Although im hoping we could win the liga MX. im so facking glad yisus and chaco are back to their old form. Offense is alot better too. But we gotta finish the chances we have. Guerron and vuoso need to be more clinical. Defense need to get better if we want to win it all. Maza dominguez i don't know how to fix these two. But somehow they just gotta step it up a notch and lessen their brainfarts. Last week's vs. puebla came to mind.
Guerron's been a really good signing. Happy with that one. Spend on a decent young CB and I'll be happy
