The18.com goes inside Liga MX every week. This week Giselle Cesín takes a look at El Super Clasico between Club America and Chivas Guadalajara.
Hi I’m Giselle Cesín with the18, and, in case you didn’t know, Liga MX is home to one of the most passionate rivalries in all of sports.
The most-circled date on the Liga MX calendar is finally approaching and it’s a safe bet things will get crazy.
El sábado, León derrotó a Tigres 1 a 0 con un gol del internacional mexicano Elías Hernández, pero la mayor parte de la acción del partido ocurrió en el minuto 88, cuando el alero Andrés Andrade realizó un regate digno del apodo del club, la Fiera.
Andrés Andrade dejó a Jorge Torres, jugador de Tigres en el suelo dos veces, en el espacio de cuatro segundos. Torres respondió intentando rebanarle el tendón de Aquiles a Andrade, pero la premeditada violencia del defensor sólo sirvió para resaltar el destrozo que Andrade había provocado.
Cruz Azul and Club América share a history of passionate rivalry, epic clashes, dramatic finals and … fear? Fear has been an interesting feature between the two clubs ever since former Cruz Azul player Miguel Sabah stated he feared playing against “Las Águilas” back in 2008.
Less than a week after the death of his father, Erick Torres took to the field and helped the Houston Dynamo score a vital 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night in Houston. The victory pushed the Dynamo four points ahead of seventh-place Real Salt Lake and San Jose with two matches to play as teams vie for the six playoff berths from the MLS Western Conference.
Tuesday sure was wild, huh? CONCACAF CONCACAF’d the sh*t out of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers for two insane hours. There was a lot to take in. A lot. Wacky own goals, rampaging ball boys and hugging commentators. And USMNT World Cup dreams dashed. So like Hillary Clinton after her election loss, let’s revisit what the hell just happened.
Why is Guillermo Ochoa disliked so much? Is it his hairstyle? His success? Does he actually suck? While Guillermo Ochoa is considered a good keeper by most, it’s moments like Tuesday's own goal that get people infuriated and lead to questioning over whether he is the best option for Mexico.
Less than three weeks after a devastating earthquake rocked the country, Mexico hosted Trinidad and Tobago in a World Cup qualifier on Friday. The match took a back seat to the healing that took place with the nation rallying around El Tri and an emotional national anthem and moment of silence before the match.
The18.com's Giselle Cesín talks about the week's action in Liga MX. Right now, soccer is on hold due to the devastating earthquake that struck Mexico.
Although reports of major damage to Estadio Azteca during the earthquake that hit Mexico City proved to be false, it is going to take a lot of time and effort to recover from the devastating event.
We all know breakups can be tough. One day everything is hunky-dory, next thing you know your sweet heart leaves you and you're faced with running into them in public.
So what do you do? Greet them naturally? Pretend you don’t see them? Stare at them, tears in your eyes, for 90 minutes? Club America opted to kick their ex-star in the face.
That’s right. Former Club America star Rubens Sambueza was wildly kicked in the face by his compatriot Guido Rodriguez.
With Liga MX resuming play following the devastating Central Mexico earthquake, Club America visited Leon on Wednesday looking to gather the three points that would help solidify their place near the top of the table.
Things were looking up for Las Aguilas as they took the lead in the 53rd minute with a header from Pablo Aguilar.
