new league format. Teams will now be split up into two groups (ELO rankings and geographical locations had a role in selection). Teams will play 14 games in the regular season. 8 against teams within their own group, 6 against teams from other group
Some big changes being announced tonight at a live event for Liga MX Femenil, which is, no longer Liga MX Femenil. Welcome, Liga Femenil BBVA
I try to not root for any clubs, but I loved Mexican lower league side CD Muxes because of their founding and support from the LGBTQ+ community. Genuinely gutted to see them announce that they'll no longer take part in "official competitions" (aka disbanding at the professional level).
Me: Gonna take a day off soccer Also me: dang look at these dope kits from the San Diego Zoo
Two very different reactions from sports papers this morning in Mexico that perfectly sum up how fans are feeling
Also some solace here from @futi.live for Mexico fans when looking at the post-game deserved win% tonight
Opta not liking Mexico's chances, but not sure if they can measure xVIBES at the end of that half
Alright being serious: Mexico were controlling the game, before the individual talent of England showed up in a shockingly short space of time, before Mexico highlighted why they're still competitive in this (Image via @futi.live)
A collection of some Mexican sports papers front pages ahead of today's massive World Cup match vs England
Lol there are still Mexican fans partying at the Angel at 9am this morning
FT Mexico 2-0 Ecuador Raul Jimenez and Julian Quiñones are the heroes of the night as they led Mexico to a victory in the round of 32. They'll await either England or DR Congo here against at the Azteca for the next round. Mexico onto the next stage!
Following some rumors of Guillermo Ochoa getting his first start in this World Cup, Aguirre has since stuck with Tala in net. Think that's the right call. Big night for teen phenom Gil Mora
Festivities outside the Estadio Azteca, which somehow includes the Grinch at the end of this group lol
