Horrible game by Rios and Rojas. I have not seen them play like that in quite some time. Lipatin and Castillo... i think their days in America are counted I think the the national team is having its toll on America. I am not going to be a b1tch about it like Trejo and Arias and demand that my players should stay with the club... but it certainly has cuased some fatigue within some of the players. They are gone 3 days basically each week (or almost every other weeks). they practiced with the national team sunday night went to Dallas, returned on Thursday and went to toluca on friday.. But like Lapuente said, the national team players are some what fatigued and are not practicing everyday with the team..but it does give the younger players more playing time and time to develop.
I'm sorry I did not catch the telecast, but it sounds really bad. I was thinking the same thing about Lipatin, it seems that just when I feel his day are done and has nothing to offer the teams he pulls something outta his a$$.
Carmona and Valdez were also with the Tri and they played very well. I really hate the criticism about the team that supposedly America's therapist said (if that was the case). Maybe Pardo can stay home but im sorry the others have to prove themselve in the Tri. Rios, Patiño and Gringo Castro shouldn't get free bye's and should fight out for their spot in the Tri. Especially Patiño, who sucked in Toluca as bad as with el Tri. Davino also has to show he can play D constantly as he sometimes seems to slow. Also the fatigue thing doesn't help when America keeps playing friendlies againts Guadalajara and FAS. Also Rios said that it didn't matter because the practice they do with the Tri is the same they will do with America and that the skills they practice there, they put in place with their club teams.
