Liga Mx Resumes, Potential Midweek Hangovers And More Talking Points Ahead Of Round 11

... It's a big weekend for. the entire league. The referees' strike that forced last week's matches to be suspended brings up a lot of questions about what will be different. The refs asked for respect in general, but the only sign anything has changed is the league extending the suspensions it handed to Club America center back Pablo Aguilar and Enrique Triverio. Will last week's significant disruption provoke change from the refs themselves? Will players keep their distance or use more respect when addressing the refs? We'll have to wait and see. We don't know the answer to those questions, but we'll find out this week. There's a lot on the line. The league's owners and directors missed out on a fair amount of money, revenue that might not come back when the league plays the round during the middle of the week after Rounds 13 and 14. Fans were disappointed. The calendar is complicated. If the referees or anyone else crucial to the games (read: the players) aren't happy with how things go, we could see another similar situation ...

... haphazardly put together over the winter and bizarrely included 21 foreigners, despite a mere 10 being allowed in each matchday squad. That kind of poor planning has its consequences. - Marshall. Juan Antonio Luna took over the Veracruz coaching job during the international break, but that doesn't deter from the fact that Los Tiburones Rojos have been a sinking ship since the start of the Clausura.

... in 17 th place in the Liga MX with nine points and are in last on the relegation table with 105 points. The ‘jarochos’ are now four points back of Morelia in penultimate place on the relegation table and desperately need a win here. Home-field advantage has been key for Veracruz all year, winning three out of four games at home and not conceding a goal in those three home victories. The ‘escualos’ do have a solid team with a strong core of Mexican-born players in its starting lineup like Leobardo Lopez and Angel Reyna. The home-field advantage may not be in effect here with no fans at the Luis “Pirata” Fuente, but it should still be interesting to see how Veracruz can do in this match. Cruz Azul is another struggling franchise in this Clausura, currently in 14 th place with 10 points. The ability to be clinical has been the missing piece to the puzzle for ‘la maquina’ in this tournament. That missing element was clearly seen in Cruz Azul’s last ...

Monarcas Morelia Vs. Chivas, 2017 Liga Mx Clausura

... Morelos y Pavón on Saturday night for the 12 th match date of the 2017 Clausura. Returning from the international break, Matías Almeyda only had Orbelín Pineda to worry about pulling international duty, but gave him a spot in the starting 11 anyways. This did not last long, however, as Pineda was substituted in the 58 th minute for Michael Pérez. The move paid dividends, as Chivas was able to get into a groove of position and produce opportunities at goal. Having Pérez enter the game helped stabilize the midfield and minimize turnovers, but still did not garner any results on the score sheet. Offensively, El Rebaño had its chances. Carlos Fierro provided a deadly spark on the counter and looked menacing at times, but did not help in the issue of finishing in the final third. Alan Pulido and Rodolfo Pizarro were tasked with scoring but couldn’t quite break through. Their 59 th minute opportunity proved the most frustrating when Pizarro spotted Pulido in the box and provided him a pass. Monarcas’ goalkeeper ...

It's Liga MX Talking Points. Takeaways from refs' strike. Liga MX is in flux. The referees' strike didn't just represent an isolated gripe for Liga MX officials; it was an example of what a united and independent union can achieve when it works together.

There are a number of unhappy parties in Mexican football - most vocally the players - and the strike could have an important knock-on effect in the develop of their ...
