No, not that America.
Club America was thoroughly demolished by Barcelona. Supposedly one of Mexico's great teams, America was utterly thrashed by a club that just might be the best in the world.
So does this mean that Mexican clubs can't hang with Spanish clubs?
I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion just yet. This result simply means that America cannot hang with Barcelona when it matters. Yes, America had that pulsating game against Barca in Houston on Aug. 9, when America had Barca on the ropes until Saviola, Ronaldinho and Eto'o scored in the last five minutes to tie 4-4. This time, Barcelona came out focused and hungry and determined, and a 4-0 scoreline is just.
America... there is much work to be done. Yes, America has a great tradition. One of the best Mexico has to offer in fact. But right now, America is behind Pachuca, Chivas and Toluca, who are clearly the upper class in Mexican soccer.
