Much-maligned Monterrey



"Hey, who invited Monterrey?"

That's probably a question many are asking after Saturday's InterLiga games. Not only did Monterrey lose - again - but they looked bad doing so.

Literally and figuratively.

Purple might work for Fiorentina but it does not look good on Monterrey. In their disgusting purple uniforms, Monterrey lived down to their attire by losing 3-2 to Necaxa.

Monterrey is off to an 0-2 start and has already been eliminated from the finals.

When it comes down to it, Monterrey is just an average team at best. There are a few quality players, including Saturday's goal scorers in Jesus "Cabrito" Arellano and Lucho Perez. Monterrey, though, is mostly just a collection of mediocre players that produce mediocre results.

But with those ghastly uniforms, Monterrey can make anyone shudder.
