Kinda cool

Hey guys, MLS doesn't really get me going that much (except watching Yedlin for the Sounders

) but I'm thinking of choosing a Mexican team to be a fan of. Suggestions?

Here are ones I'm considering:

C.F. Pachuca

Founded in 1901, so they aren't some Johnny Come Lately, and they finished 6th last year, which is pretty good but I don't feel bandwagony about them if they are my team. Also, I love their Shield!

Puebla F.C.

This team features our very own DeMarcus Beasley! Plus the city of Puebla was founded in 1531, which is very long ago, and I find interesting.

Queretaro F.C.

This team has a great shield, and is a real up and comer. I like that they were sent down to the lower division in 2013, but came back up. I hope they stay good, and people appreciate that they overcame obstacles to get on top.

So guys, what do you think? Any other teams I should consider?

This will be MY favorite soccer club moving forward, so this is important. I will follow their record root root root for them.

Whoevs Ochoa plays for.

Ochoa plays in France

Queretaro barely exists anymore. Their ownership group got in huge financial trouble. I really like Liga MX. I'd pick Tijuana because they have lots of Americans (less now that Castillo/Herc left).

Besler and Zusi will be back in the US tomorrow, so I'd guess that means they play Sunday.

Looks like our next game (match) is 7-19 vs. Cruz Azul at home. Man. I gotta figure out how to watch Mexican soccer by then.

idk maybe. probably not till after the season if he goes.

mocat · « **Reply #2123 on:** July 02, 2014, 05:07:21 PM »

Besler is 26. so if anything, maybe a loan type situation? (low europe leauge iq)

Just a hunch but I think the only way he leaves is if one of the Premier League teams pays a hefty fee for him. I doubt he's looking to move and SKC definitely isn't looking to move him. I could definitely see a trial loan though.
