I'm afraid Pachuca will be flat here. All teams need to come down from their focus at some point, and Pachuca's focus has been intense of late, and for quite a long while, with CCC and La Liguilla coming back to back. I'm not sure they'll be able to stay on top of their game here. And, what are they playing for, exactly? Pachuca already goes to the world club tourney, right? So what is this for?
Yet Pachuca isn't a South American team. Change the name, stupid conmebol! Name it Recopa Conmebol or something.
wouldn't the effect be the whole opposite of what you're saying? They're continuously playing and that means they're active. "Estan en racha"
To earn Conmebol and the teams a few extra bucks in TV Rights from a game nobody will remember two months from today... Remember Leoz will sell his mom bones for the right price.
Well if you Look at Boca's list of Internacional Trophies they proudly list Recopas...along with any other Recopa winners...so maybe the losers wont remember....
Looks like both teams are indeed playing with their best players. Should be a good game..... ....for pachuca
Actually something odd happened on the road to RECOPA...Inter had to let VARGAS a Colombian go meet the Colombian National team...while I hear that PACHUCA got 3 National Teamers from Colombia freed for the game...is this true..does Pachuca have 3 NT Colombians that were released to play this game. Inter didnt have such luck with its 1 colombian.
yea they have 3 national team players calero "goalie",mosquera "central defender" and chitiva " teams number 10"....yea to bad vargas is not playing in this game, i would have love to see him play with inter.
This bastards better fix their broadcasting... there's nothing worse than having Jacobo narrating a game.
Vargas sucks... he was only good at America de Cali I was goin to wish Pachuca luck and hope this is one of many cups that he lifts this summer (cough) (cough Copa America ) but Pato is just too good ... and on Mosquera
2 -1 Pachuca Chato Gimenez at 80min I don't know that I've ever seen a team go on a roll like what Pachuca has (outside of Franco's Spain!). They've won back-to-back in Mexico, the Suramericana and the Concacaf. If they pull this off, it'd be five major trophies in 12 months.
It's truly admirable... they're definitely a quality side. They've shown better futbol than Internacional throughout this game as well.
And Meza is resting Chitiva too. Mosquera is absolutely brilliant in the Pachuca kit - its almost like he put it on one day and became another player.
yea mosquera sucked big time in nacional... maybe they should give Pachuca MENDOZA !! and make him into a good player after they sell mosquera this summa... i hear athletic madrid, florintian and feyorder of turkey are after him
Meza is not "resting" Chitiva. He was suspended for this game. But it comes out to be the same thing; he'll be rested for the next game.
they didn't win back to back, but they've won two out of three. pachuca, then chivas, then pachuca again. during the season that they didn't win the title in mexico, they won the sudamericana and reached the semi-finals of the mexican tournement.
