Mexico madness

If you haven't kept up to speed on the Mexican league, now would be a good time to find Azteca America and Telefutura on your television. The playoff pairings are set:

Pachuca-Santos
Chivas-Tigres
America-Atlas
Cruz Azul-Tecos

Already the postseason has seen some drama. Santos, who two weeks ago were on the verge of relegation, beat Cruz Azul to stay in the first division, then scored a stoppage-time goal in the second leg of their wild card round against San Luis to advance to the playoffs. Their reward? Pachuca, who is at this moment the best club in Mexico hands down.
