Sadly Queretaro's football team lose today in Guadalajara against Atlas, but lets sumarize what happend.
1.- Queretaro arrived at the premier league in Mexico
2.- Pumas was in trouble to descend to 1a league and since Queretaro was new didn't have any points so it started at the descend list too, in order to help Pumas, Femexfut (corrupt body that regulate mexican football) stole 3 points from Queretaro changing the rules in the middle of the tournament.
3.- Queretaro played well in that season and ended in the middle of the general table, ended in that place because of the 3 points stolen.
4.- The new season started again Queretaro being a new guy in the premier have less points, and this time Santos was in trouble to descend, now the Femexfut don't care to much for Santos, until Grupo Modelo bought the team, Grupo Modelo is sponsor of most of the teams so almost all the club presidents that control Femexfut (corruption = Femexfut) decided that Santos should not descend and Queretaro will, so many many many referee decitions where made against Queretaro, anuling goals, penalties, and others.
5.- Again Queretaro performed average, win all the local games and ended in the middle of the general table, so, for a new comer it was a good thing, but not in Mexican football in which the descend table was created to protect historic teams with mediocre results, because if you play well in a season ending in the top 5 you can be the worst team in the next five seasons without worrying, while a new average team fighting to get a place and grow start at the end of the table even though they get more points that many others.
6.- Santos which was in danger to go down to 1a league is now in the play offs... HOW!! well it is the corruption at its best, the old rich club presidents created a sistem in which 10 of the 18 teams go to play offs and have a chance to be champions even though they had a very bad performance in the normal season.
Here the general table of results of the last two seasons, as you can see Queretaro is not the worst team, but still is going down to the 1a league. Is it fair? is it the best system?
By the way in the season of 2006 Queretaro had 21 points not 18, but the Femexfut decided to take 3 of them!
