We all know that America and Chivas are the 2 most popular in Mexico. But between Pumas de la UNAM and La Maquina de Cruz Azul who is more popular. I think it's pumas. Of course I don't have any facts to back that up. Except that alot of my friends are Pumas. And of all the people I have ever known in my life I've only known about 5 or 6 Cruz Azul fans. What do the rest of you think?
I also think its pumas, i remember during their bicampeonato i heard on Tv that Pumas had passed CruzAzul in popularity
Cruz Azul, easily. 1. Pumas is very chilango, troof is that in Mexico most people think the UNAM is an easy, dirt-cheap university paid for by taxpayers money just so they produce the PRD. That, and their porra misbehavior makes them very UNpopular outside chilangolandia. 2.Cruz Azul is really an Hidalgo state team that plays in el DF. Ciudad Cooperativa Cruz Azul is in HIDALGO. THey moved to DF 40+ yrs ago. Though Pachuca is currently the pimp, Hidalgo people usually root for Azul. 3.Cruz Azul is a very class-conscious team. Because it is a cement company, I have met many an albanil who roots for Cruz Azul. Just go to the burbs and ask dem mexies working.
People can't think what they want, UNAM is still the best university in Mexico and gets ranked the highest in Latin America. They probably wouldn't have gotten in if they wanted to.
UNAM Only because of their University ties. If thier was no school involved then Cruz azul is more popular.
Its extraordinary if they do think that ... I must confess to having serious doubts that they do .... in any case the truth is that people outside Mexico regularly rate it as the best university in Latin America.... Also your moan about PRD supporters coming from the university reminds me of that old right wing lament ... "oh, why, oh why are all the intellectuals left wing?" And whats so wrong with a team being supported by it's local people? surely thats the point ..... Also the attendance at CU tends to be higher than Azul, that would suggest a higher following .... also I am not sure about the point of the question - they are both very popular...
I think its pretty even but would give Cruz Azul the edge. Pumas has a strong following at UNAM and DF. Hugo Sanchez had a lot to do with the big surge they went through and many fans that are still around today support them. Cruz Azul is popular in DF AND has a big national following. It is like Chivas and America where it can pull fans from all over the Republica. For that I would consider Cruz Azul a little ahead.
Then how come Cruz Azul never pack their stadium. When America goes there it's half full and there are way more americanistas.
the last match there between america and cruz azul it was a sell out. It was the only full house Cruz Azul had in Clausura 2007
Whats that got to do with Pumas? It has already been said America and Chivas are more popular. Pumas has the luck of having a very large support group that attends the games every week. La Sangre Azul is very small. With out that barra the stands at CU would be pretty empty. This also has to do with Pumas fans being mostly in DF. If Cruz Azul could pull in all its fans that live far away and can't go to the games every other week it would sell more tickets. Add to that the slump in not winning a title in 10 years makes for poor attendance.
No, mate, not quite they said .... I still had to get my ticket off a tout cos ticket-********ing-master said they hadn't got any left ..... but I remember reading that the America game was the only sold out of the season for Cruz Azul....
I stopped by Las Delicias to buy some paletas and also a copy of Futbol extremo, and the cajera axed me who was my team and I said Pumas, she looked all quiet so I asked her hers and she said America. now, what that has to do with this thread, I dont know.
my bro lives in atlanta, somewhere in the center northern part. When I drove through from the east side of town, puros brothers.
i dont think so. I droped to get some snacks on the eastside adn noticed at the gas station that we were the only non brotha in the place. but anyways, im PUmas is more popular, lol
it doesent really matter who is more popular the thing that matters is that cruz azul is gonna win the apertura
Not really... well maybe.. depends where in Georgia you live I guess maybe in the towns... I live in ATLANTA
Make a thread about Atlanta in NSR if you want to talk about the city. Get back on topic and stop the thread derailment.
