Gallos Blancos first game 2009 Opening season

, , , ...

Gallos Blancos of Queretaro lost the first match, not a very good news for a team that needs to do a lot of points to stay on the league.

Many sports news sites and papers (even tv) say the other team was given a free penalty shoot that tied the game. That may be true, but that is not a reason to not give all the effort to win, there are bad referees but that is not a reason not to win, no matter the bad referee you have to give everything to win, if there are goals there is nothing the referee can do.

So C'mon! gallos don't look for excuses, look for goals.

Once more we have football

, , ,

Today Queretaro's Gallos Blancos won the right to place in the premier league in Mexican Football League, the match was against Merida's Venados, Merida is located in the mexican state of Yucatan, in the southeast, near Cancun.

It is great! So I'm having Premier League Football at home once more!

I'm hoping the best, and the FEMEXFUT hopefully will be doing it's job right, not based in money and corruption only, thinking of the sports.

To see the last 6 minutes of the game:

Corregidora Stadium in Queretaro, the third largest and one of the most beautiful and best stadiums in the country will have Premier Football!

Gallos to become champion!

, , ,

Once more Gallos Blancos has proven is the best team of Primera A, and worthy of Primera (Premier League in Mexico) and got a pass to the final, beating in a global 3-2 against Tijuana's Xolos

The final will be played in two matches, one in Queretaro's Corregidora Stadium and the other in Irapuato's stadium for the Freseros (strawberry growers)

I can see them as champions, and once more in the primera, this time with a bigger fan base than before, and if in Primera A Gallos has proven to be a good business team (making profits in ticket sales and all the things) the Femexfut will let them play in Primera and prove that they belong there.

Small recountof history:

- Femexfut in 2004 decided to reduce the number of teams in Primera so they decided to move Gallos Blancos and Irapuato to Primera A, even thought they wheren't the worst teams, in fact Queretaro was in a very good position in the table.
- Femexfut in 2007 decided to change rules, the ruled was changed in the middle of the season, and it affected Queretaro once more, this was done to protect Pumas to decend since they have a larger fan base, and to protect Santos Laguan whose owner is Modelo (Corona Beer producer) a big sponsor of "all" the teams and femexfut itself.

euroCUP 2008

, , , ...

I truly believe that the second most important sport event in the world, after the World Cup is the EuroCup, why, lets be honest European football is beautiful, full of technique, speed, action!, and sometimes some agression (Zidane in the final of the WorldCup)

And like me many mexicans do believe that, the Eurocup is bigger than the olimpics, in Mexico people see the olimpic opening with the big show, lights and the torch, but that is all.

Last sunday I was in the mall when the match Spain vs Italy started, I was supporting Spain (cultural reasons) and as I all the others did, we where cheering for the spanish team, and they win in an incredible game, that lasted a lot, with no goals, and great performance, and finnally no more extra time, it was decided in the penalty round, even there it was impresive.

Here a photo of some people infront of the screen in a store.



Let's go spain you can do it and win the cup!

Bye bye Hugo

, ,

Hugo Sanchez the former trainer of the mexican football team was fired on monday, I'm glad, he was a great football player, some says he is the best mexican player (may be they are right) that is why his ego grew to incredible proportions.

He is an average trainer, but his big mouth is only smaller than his ego, so that put him in trouble. He took care of the team and did nothis special, the same old mediocre results, and what is worst, he didn't do anything to go to the omplic games, and the golden cup and some other stuff.

When he was named to be in charge of the team I wasn't happy, neither angry, why?... I knew he didn't last, I knew that he was going to do a bad job in the olympic games in this case in teh path to the games, and since in football the WorldCup is more importat he was not going to be in the path to it or in it.

So long Hugo, I'm sure some team will pick you up, and just like with Pumas, only to sell more tickets to the stadium since you are a good show (a legend as a player), but an average trainer.

By the way his bosses the "football presidents club" called him "AN OLYMPIC FAILURE" (ouch!) I hope he takes this in a good way, and finally learn from mistakes and poot the feet on the ground.

Everytime he failed he claim that "in his mind they win" so that shows his lack or reality.

Ridicule!

Mexico went with the Football Selection Sub 23 team to the USA to get a ticket to the Olympic Games in Beijing.

In our group there was Canada, Haiti and Guatemala (and Mexico of course)

Well Mexico did the worst possible, losing against Guatemala, tie with Canada and only wining to Haiti 5-1 when the game was for 10-0

Who has the fault?

- The players: they are (not all of them) the world champions of the sub 17 world cup in Peru, they grow their ego so much due to the media and fans like myself treating them like almost gods, they where asked to play in european teams and get paid over $60,000 usd per month!! So they forget about the game and started to think as stars.
- The trainer: the greatest mexican footballer, but the worst trainer, he did nothing with the players, in the preparation games they sucked and instead of doing something to improve, they stay just the same.

So we are not going to the omlympiad, we deserve it, having a big team of "divas" insted of footballers.

I'm angry, they are probably the greatest set of players at that age united to represent Mexico, and did nothing!! So our hopes of someday winning the world cup can be delay a little bit more, since they are not going to do it.

Mexican Olympic Soccer

, ,

You may remember my rant against the mexican "selected" team, they played as bas as possible here in Queretaro against Ecuador, and I said that "if that is how they are going to play, we are not going to the olympiads" and... I was right.

They sucked big time, in a tie against Canada, a country known for the hockey not soccer, and against Guatemala they lost BIG TIME!!!

Hugo Sanchez the team couch is blaming the media and the people, not the bad work he and his players are doing, if he and the team don't recognized how bad they played they will never improve.

So the team is not going to be present in Beijing, only if they pay the trip as audience.

Mexico vs Ecuador Sucked Big Time

, , , ...

Ecuador won the match 1-0 with a great goal, the only good thing in the match.

The game was full of the worst example of football from both squads, Mexico did nothing, bad passes, bad games, the players where frigthened to try to score a goal, at times I even thought they didn't know where they have to shoot. Total caos was Mexico's national team sub 23, the game was BORING all the first half, I was falling sleep (it is true) in the stadium. The funniest part of the game was the mid time show.

Ecuador's national team was really rude, extremly rude kicking the players not the ball, and the referee did nothing at all, also they played loosing time, taking a lot of time to simply kick the ball, and the fell all the time in the grass and the paramedics arrived and take the out of the field and instead of being treated the simply where on their foot again, loosing time!!! I knew that water in Queretaro has miracle healing powers, the paramedics give the ecuatorians water and they were heal and fine in SECONDS!

The Mexican team was so bad that the people at the stadium, myself included, started to boo them and the trainer Hugo Sanchez and in some parts we even cheer Ecuador, we paid a lot to see them and they played the worst possible.

Today on media the players of Mexico were asking for a better atittude towards them from the fans, well I ask for PLAYING!!! you are pay to game, and you didn't do that, you just where on the field, and did NOTHING AT ALL.

I'm really angry, it was expensive, boring, bad football and then the players complain for the fans!

Mexico vs Ecuador at Corregidora

, ,

In Queretaro we have the forth largest football stadium in the country, it has a capacity of 50,000 people seated, also Queretaro is a medium size coming to be large city with 1,000,000 people living in, and an influence area of other 500,000 people. The stadium is one of the most expensive ones in Mexico, charging $30.00 usd for the cheap seats, and still it gets full.

Even considering this facts, the FEMEXFUT hates Queretaro badly, don't know why, but other cities with smaller population, smaller stadiums and cheaper seats had preference from FEMEXFUT and what its worse, this is the first time the National Team will be playing in Queretaro, and it is not the major National Team but the sub 23, the ones that go to the Olympics.

Today it is the historic match, and I'm going, with my friends, to cheer up Mexico, a friend of mine is half Mexican half from Ecuador, so he will be cheering both, and he can celebrate whomever wins.

It should always be like this.

, , ,

Mexican national teams should play always like this, winning, doing their best, and always trying to score, always. the U20 team has shown mexicans that it is only matter of effort and want to win. They go to the field with the idea of winning and scoring as much as possible, while previously the major team proved to be on field to cash some money, to score a few goals, show some technique in order to let the media say "They play better than ever" but they always manage to disapoint the country, somehow.

Yesterday was a great day for our national football pride, winning 6-0 against Paraguay and 2-1 agains New Zealand (ok New Zealand sucked in football but it was a winning) the U20 is undefeatable so far.

Good job!!! Great games!!! It SHOULD always be like this, it is possible, erase the "loser" idea in your minds and you can do it.
