  1. Alvarado Ventura needs to wake up and get him a move somewhere else. I wonder the reason he has not played much is the coach or his form? Most likely his form I bet.

    • There were a number of rumors this past off season about Alvarado leaving Club America in pursuit of playing time. One of the options he was looking at was a move to MLS. However the owner convinced him to stay on this season with some kind of promise that if he didn’t get the playing time/exposure he desired that he’d help Alvarado find/transfer to a new team.

  2. Any Liga Mx fans out there, what has happened to Santos, last in the league and in last in their Copa Mx group. No wins, four draws and five losses in their nine competitive matches.

    • He’s played in both League Cup games for them this season. They play Bristol City next round another Championship side so good chance he at least will be in the 18 again.
