Los Tuzos a Japon

Pachuca is the best team in CONCACAF. Los Tuzos beat Saprissa at home 2-1 on Wednesday in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and won the series on a 3-2 aggregate. Let's see, Pachuca now has won Copa Sudamericana, CONCACAF Champions Cup (twice), Mexico's Clausura 2006 and 2007 and SuperLiga all in the last two calendar years. And to think, this club was in the second division just a decade ago.

For those interested, Jose Francisco Torres did not play in the match.

    Luis,

    Sorry to break your heart but Mexican papers have already ran a story about Torres' choice. He's going to turn down the US Olympic Team -- he wants to play for Mexico.

    That won't change how I cover him. He's still an American.

    Thanks for the heads up. Do you have a link or two? I'll scan around for them as well.

    I'm trying to find you one, because of the coverage you've done, but a lot of it has run on print paper [El Sol de Hidalgo].

    He's a hell of a player in the making though, I think it's a shame that he won't play for the U.S.

    Pachuca doing so well makes me feel old. When I was in high school Pachuca had just been relegated and my math teacher liked to say, "...y en este caso, amigos, tienes Pachuca, que es decir q'no tienes nada."
    And now look at them.

    (The same teacher would call me a maricón for wearing my América jersey, so he was just all-around awesome.)

    I hope the tuzos do better in Japan than last year.

    And about Torres, awesome! I am glad you is going for Mexico!

    luke, was that teacher in the U.S. or another country? You could have had a lawsuit and been set for life.

    It's games like these where you can clearly see the gap between FMF and the MLS. Pachuca is not having a good season in the Mexican league but still dominated the CCC.
