when a draw is a victory
By: j |I prefer not to fan the flames of discontent regarding poor refereeing but when matches are decided with questionable decisions, the game suffers. Such is the case with the Monterrey versus Chivas match which fortunately ended in a draw or this would have been a horrible disservice to the fans and even respect for Football [...]
Chivas tonight!
By: j |One last word as the match is set to begin in less than an hour. The Rayados will be without Gonzalo Choy and Jesús Arellano (doubtful) due to injuries. With a near three year winning-drought at Jalisco and with those omissions, we’re likely to see Ricardo Lavolpe come out with a 5-3-2. I’ll have a [...]

While there were a few defensive lapses, for the most [...]
final word on Indios de Ciudad Juárez match
By: j |Only a few hours now till the start of the match at the Tecnológico, in what is already turning out to be a crucial encounter. After stumbling and bumbling to a draw against Puebla, the Rayados can’t afford to let points from matches they should win drift away. The Indios are not going to play [...]

By: j |Sven-Göran Eriksson’s first roster as head of El Tri rewarded the play of Rayados Luis Pérez and Carlos Ochoa naming them to national squad. Ricardo Lavolpe noted that while he had met with Sven, he did not influence the decision, with all his efforts dedicated to Monterrey.

By: j |Further to part one of our preview of this weeks match against Ciudad Juárez we need to look back at the Puebla match, understand the weaknesses and plan to shore them up.
