I know you have an obession with working the Galaxy, but you are still a journalist and you like to call yourself fair and objective.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Quite frankly I am suprised you havent posted somthing about the Galaxy still having a smalllllll chance of making the playoffs and THUS coming up with all sort of inate scenerios like saying they can make it if so many teams drop out or forfeit haha.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Luis Bueno = Galaxy LoverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-81326996089290815712008-10-22T15:30:00.000-07:002008-10-22T15:30:00.000-07:00Hammer how can you say Hugo's teams played well .J...Hammer how can you say Hugo's teams played well .<BR/><BR/>Just look at how Mexico played against Argentina when Lavolpe coached and when Hugo coached, big difference.<BR/><BR/>Sven is the last person to blame here.<BR/><BR/>He knows very little about Mexican soccer , he hasnt had any time to work .<BR/><BR/><BR/>The problem here are the idiot suits who have no sense of planning nor a contigency plan if the Hugo experiment failed.<BR/><BR/>From the get go , Hugo was not a good choice.His player legacy and two titles with Pumas did not make him a good candidate but since he represented a lot of money ,and he probably wasnt going to shut up , they gave him a shot.<BR/><BR/>After the bad results came in , the suits panicked about qualifying to 2010, so they gave him the boot.<BR/><BR/><BR/>A proper contigency plan wouldve called for somone to take over asap and somone familliar with mexican soccer.<BR/><BR/>Imagine if in 2001 , when Mexico was in s.o.s. mode , that they wouldve brought in a forgeinner like Cesar Maldini instead of Aguirre.<BR/><BR/>The worst thing that can happen right now is Sven getting the boot.<BR/><BR/>I am not a well respected journalist nor Mexican soccer suit, but I know that after five games ( the chile game was a throw away) you cant make any proper judgement, especilly in Sven's case.<BR/><BR/><BR/>These idiot pundits asking for Sven's head have their own intrests in minds and some are even motivated by xenophobic sentimments against Sven becuase he is white.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-64548264275363292782008-10-22T11:08:00.000-07:002008-10-22T11:08:00.000-07:00It is the players fault.

With the lone exception for Mexico being 1994 vs. Bulgaria, where a pretty good coach made the monumental mistake of his life by not introducing even one substitute through 90 minutes, extra time, and pks', through heat and humidity, with world class players on the bench.<BR/><BR/>Mexican players need to take responsibility and quit being babies. Coaches can be geniuses but mostly they are coaches, they aren't your pal at that level, the shouldn't be your drinking buddy or father figure, nor should they be the #1 nationalistic patriot, etc...<BR/><BR/>If your part of the best 11 on that particular day than it's your responsibility to not get overpowered by the Ali Gerba's of the world.<BR/><BR/>BBSCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-21959948281637436172008-10-22T10:57:00.000-07:002008-10-22T10:57:00.000-07:00Oh, no!

I simply said that the team was playing much better under Hugo Sanchez. Hugo Sanchez had ONE bad performance in the three tournaments he coached. 4 of Lavolpe's 6 tournaments were bad and he kept getting reinstated.<BR/><BR/>My point was: If you think FMF favored Sanchez, you lost your marbles.The Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073632764723130030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-31529607537837348742008-10-21T21:03:00.000-07:002008-10-21T21:03:00.000-07:00OK, Hammer, let's say you're right about Mexico's ...OK, Hammer, let's say you're right about Mexico's performance under Erickson. If you fire him, then whom do you hire? Ferretti? Arias? Meza (again)? It's not that simple.<BR/><BR/>Unless there's a massive player revolt, which would indicate a severe problem with morale, then Mexico should keep Erickson. They could do a lot worse.

Unfortunately, under Sven the team lacks a sense of direction and most efforts seem to have come from individual flashes of competence rather than the collective play.<BR/><BR/>Hugo's teams played well, including the team that did not qualify for the Olympics. When you have 10 opportunities per game in the qualifiers, it ceases to be the coach's fault. His firing was political though. Hugo talked too much about people who ultimately determined his fate.The Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073632764723130030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-2926902337891054112008-10-21T05:17:00.000-07:002008-10-21T05:17:00.000-07:00man-from-michigan's rightCACuzcatlan, chillJoseph ...man-from-michigan's right<BR/><BR/>CACuzcatlan, chill<BR/><BR/>Joseph D'Hippolito, who the hell are you arguing with?<BR/><BR/>you know damn well chivas fans want nery on their team<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>seriously some of you guys try to hide your ignorance with decorated words and pseudo-intellectualityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-85420780541500789572008-10-20T22:37:00.000-07:002008-10-20T22:37:00.000-07:00cacuzcatlan,Please don't let your hate for anythin...cacuzcatlan,<BR/><BR/>Please don't let your hate for anything Chivas make you ignorant.
