Copa Libertadores 2016

Se levantó después como si nada, recuperación milagrosa!

 

hey guys i have a stupid question. I was watching the libertadores highlights this morning (Pumas-Tachira knockout game was being covered) and during the national anthem when all 22 players are lined up, the pumas players had their arms extended diagonally and their fists out. can someone explain to me what that means? it also looked like half of them were facing the opposite side but they were all doing that salute. i'm a big time noob so excuse my ignorance.

just asking because it looked awesome haha. thanks in advance

 

That is the salute of the university (UNAM) whose name they carry


Wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by this

^this happened in the stadium that pumas play at.

 

Y'all have literally never made it that far. Congratulations

 

It's called fascism

 

Go Pumas

 

Damn
nobody gives a damn about this game

 

If the Mexican list didnt drop today they would

 

I'm watching it.

 

I'm kind of watching it...

 

Down 1-0
They're getting dominated. Veron is so done.

 

Veron, most overrated player in LigaMX and a scumbag person too

 

Lol

 

2-0
Piss poor Pumas team

 

Dat exaggeration

 

The pressure that powerful pacey strikers can put on a defense and we've got guys like Eduardo Herrera starting in LigaMX and in consideration for the NT. smh...

 

Veron is a huge liability at this point. Dude is stumbling all around the field.

 

Is Javier Cortes playing? That's another liability right there. Por gordo y lento

 

They get one back
1-2, Fidel Martinez

 

Gol Pumas !! Fidel Martinez against his own countrymen!

 

Away goals still count at this stage right?

 

Right

 

2-1 coming back to Mexico ain't that bad but gawddam do they need to play better if they want a crack at the final let alone the cup.

 

conmebol might change the rule at half time of the 2nd leg...
