Overtime baby! Oviedo has only one sub left to Mirandés six, but also have an extra player.

 

Oviedo scores! Ahead in the aggregate.

 

Technically one sinceMirandes won the first game. If Mirandés scores, they go to penalties.

 

Wait wait, you are correct. In case of a tie after overtime, Oviedo is promoted for table position.

They better get a Mexa or two there. Montiel would make tons of sense. They could "loan him" for free and if he gets a good season or two at the top flight, a big team will most likely knock with a lot of money and if not, Chivas or Tigres offers will always be there.

 

@Salmos do you think they somewhat dismantle Pachuca and/or León to keep Oviedo afloat? I mean, in theory keeping a team in the top flight of La Liga or even in European spots would be more valuable than a Liga MX championship.
I could see them sending them guys like James, Idrissi, Montiel and/or someone like Nicolás Fonseca or Alexei Domínguez without really spending a penny and then buying maybe a striker and a center-back to make a team with real legs there.

 

James and Iddrissi are 70% goners to me, though. Good players who could comfortably start day 1 there, comunitarios and looking for either rhythm or a spot in the WC.

 

@Colima24 must be losing his shit

The slave owner has been the weakest link for Costa Rica in this tournament and needs all the encouragement he can get, even if it is disingenuous. Miguel, being the 5D chess grandmaster that he is, knows that that scrub has been ass and is doing everything in his power to bring him out of the state of mediocrity that he is stuck in, even if it is just for this one crucial game.

While I applaud the tactic, I wholeheartedly oppose outright lying to a person.

CONCACAF ladrones!

How trash is Honduras then?

What's the El Salvador ML?

 

Honduras has been on a downward slope for about a decade.

 

De esas historias que nos regala el futbol. Cuando Real Oviedo descendió a la Segunda División de España en 2001, Veljko Paunović era jugador del cuadro asturiano. Hoy, 24 años después, fue el DT encargado de regresar al equipo a primera división española.

Montiel is Erick Gutierrez 2.0

 

Monterrey - River been great so far, to hell with the gold cup

 

El Salvador is worse than that as the game ended up showing.

 

Neither side is a WC-caliber side and that has been the case for at least a decade..
