Chivas USA's Francisco Palencia and Juan Pablo Garcia may have crashed into each other while getting out of Los Angeles to return south of the border to Mexico.
Negotiations with Palencia to go to Tigres, a team that plays in Monterrey, were rumored almost as soon as the MLS season ended.
The rumblings of a Garcia move started even before that - as it was apparent that the midfielder wished to to to Europe.
Suddenly, Tigres nabs Garcia instead - dropping out of the Palencia deal entirely. It might have been that Garcia wasn't having any luck drawing an offer in Europe, and then let it be known he was interested in going to Mexico. He may have effectively nudged Palencia aside, and stolen the interest originally going to Paco.
Paco has landed on his feet, though, and is on the move to Pumas, a Mexico-City-based team.
