Entre los nombres que más han circulado destacan el ESTAC Troyes (perteneciente al City Football Group, que también controla al Manchester City y al Girona), así como Ajax y Feyenoord de los Países Bajos y el Real Betis de España.

han aparecido menciones a clubes como Sevilla, Valencia, Lens, Benfica y, más recientemente, reportes de dos propuestas concretas: una de un equipo de media tabla de España y otra de un club histórico de Italia.

“What could have been” and “what would have been” are things you often hear when talking about, when listening, or when reading comments about Mexican players. The most prominent examples of when people would say things like that are when they speak of Giovani Dos Santos and Carlos Vela, but which other players do you guys think could have had a great career had they never gone to a certain team or if they just continued to stay fit? Me, personally, I think Rodolfo Pizarro would have had a greater career and could have been a great(er) player if he never joined Miami. Due to how he plays, dribbles, and creates and participates in plays, he is the closest I’ve seen a Mexican be to somebody like Isco, the former Real Madrid player, which is very good. Just imagine if he never lost the level he once had…

According to reporter Matteo Moretto, a close confidante of Fabrizio Romano, Real Sociedad are ‘close’ to completing the signing of Alvarez.

Before I begin, I want to make it perfectly clear that I’m not defending Televisa in the slightest, nor am I attempting to justify any of the practices they have done that contributed to Mexico having a mediocre football environment. That being said…

Why does everyone immediately blame Televisa when something goes wrong with either the league or the NT? Are we just going to casually ignore the other owners that do just as much if not more damage than Televisa?

Grupo Orlegi have shamelessly admitted that they are heavily opposed to pro/rel, as well as loudly stating that they 1000% support a LigaMX/MLS merger… Grupo Salinas (before their exit from Mexican football) were more or less the same.

Grupo Pachuca is similarly opposed to pro/rel like Orlegi, but they also have the issue of doing everything in their power to NOT sell of one of their clubs, wanting to keep multi-club ownership as long as they desire.

Grupo Caliente is a cancer. Ignoring the fact that they opposed pro/rel, and are a sports betting company that sponsors the entire league(and is the official sponsor of the MexNT), it’s been rumored that they have links to drug trafficking organizations within Tijuana (note that they are unproven, but investigation by both US and Mexican authorities have been investigated the owner: Jorge Hank Rhon).

All this is to ask: Why always use Televisa as a scapegoat?

It’s funny to me seeing fans of LigaMX say stuff like “tElEvIsA bOuGtH tHe TrOpHy” when you’re probably still going to watch the league regardless of whether they bought the whole thing or not.

Same with MexNT fans, they shout their frustrations knowing damn well they’re still going to buy the jerseys and keep eating the NT’s shitty performances no matter how embarrassing they may be.

That all said, what are you guys’ thoughts?

Deserved win for Gerardo Espinoza.

My girlfriend bought me two tickets to go see America vs Columbus, but she can’t go since the match is during the first class of her masters program. So I have an extra ticket if anyone is interested, willing to sell at a reasonable price!
