Lol thanks for the heads up.

Looks like Santos didn't come to play at all.

Stick a fork in them.

Well now I need to make a new sig to use! Finally I see my home city team champions!

Getting Salcido was big for Tigres. I thought he was decent in the PL last season. I think Fulham would take him back right now if they could, how long is that loan for @Javi ? Does he go back after this match or what's the deal.

I think it is a season long loan "EPL season" I remember his house was broken into in London and asked for the loan request.

Ahhh, He might not want to go back now.

Probably but well see I don't really rate Salcido that much he makes one too many mistakes.

He takes to many shots from outside the box. When they connect it's amazing but that's my pet peeve with him. I think he's a decent player though. I guess you would be more familiar with him then me.

I have pretty much the same thoughts of him as you do, when his passes connect it's amazing but from my perspective he makes rookie mistakes for a player of his experience they are inexcusable . For a while he had impressed me because he really stepped up his game during his time in PSV, then he just sort of went blank. I thought he would do well at Fulham especially after he connected that pass to Dempsey for goal against Blackburn, which was amazing.

But overall I think he may want to retire soon unless he feels he can give Fulham another go. Torres Nilo is the man who I think will take his place in the national team, keeping my eye on him he is EPL strong IMO.

They don't have top flight football, a little second division side Inter Playa del Carmen. The closest FMF side is in Cancun which is Atlante those are the fans you see most besides the obligatory Club America, Chivas and Cruz Azul fans you see everywhere in Mexico. I have seen some people with Jaguares gear on, but not many. Atlante aren't from Cancun, they moved there a few years back from Mexico City and Jaguares are relatively new, neither have a huge fan base.

I watch FMF all the time, the haphazard defending and/or goalkeeping always makes it entertaining. The quality is actually higher then you would think though. It's reminiscent to me at least of Holland or Spain, even what you would consider "lower" quality players have skill and flair which makes it very entertaining.

One of my good friends I've known for years which now lives out here is a massive Santos Laguna fan, so when he's over we watch those matches. So I guess if I had to choose I would pick Santos Laguna, but Torreon is a good distance from where I plan to retire so, hopefully Inter can get up to the top division.

@Javi

My Santos Laguna supporting friends have been trying to bring me into the fold for awhile now. My old roomie from SC recently moved out to Vegas, I helped him get a job. He's a huge Galaxy fan and also support Xolos in Mexico. If you don't know it's a Tijuana club, not that big. I wanted to pick a club closest to where I want to retire, but Atalante and Jaguars aren't that appealing.

So I think I'm leaning towards Xolos at the moment for a few reasons.

1) Proximity, It's close to me actually a lot of San Diegans are Xolos fans.

2) They have been signing Americans lately, young Americans which is cool.

3) Not to big so I don't feel like a glory hunter.

4) The Galaxy and Xolos have a working relationship.

5) Awesome logo and nickname.




6) Other scenery....




One negative being Tijuana there's a chance of getting capped on the way to the match, but tbf you can the same thing about Galaxy matches depending one where you're coming from.

So it's either Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente or Club Santos Laguna..... I'm open to suggestions as well.

Got only one thing to say......



LOL But in all fairness Tijuana isn't a bad club yeah you might get capped going to a match but if you don't recall there were shootings going on in Torreon outside of the Santos stadium during a match:P. To be honest if you chose Chivas or America id give you plenty of shit for it:P. I could tell you to support Tigres or any other club but it all comes down to who you would like to give your support to, if you still aren't too sure maybe you should watch a few more matches. To tell you the truth I am glad I followed my old man with Tigres the atmosphere is phenomenal the singing never stops even when they play like shit lol. I have compared them to Spurs several times there are quite a few similar things about both clubs.

Also if you support Tigres you can also support the University's American Football team to, just sayin.
