En Escocia, “The Old Firm” es para los Rangers

FutblogMexicano 04 October @ 04:27 PM EST

En la liga escocesa solo pueden ganar el campeonato cualquiera de estos dos equipos de Glasgow, los Rangers o el Celtic. Que uno de los dos no sea campeón es un fenómeno muy raro, tan extraño como que caiga nieve en Haití o Jamaica.

Así que imaginen ustedes lo que significa el enfrentamiento entre Rangers y Celtics, es el máximo clásico del país de "Braveheart", y en esta ocasión, The Old Firm como se le conoce, se fue para los Rangers.

View From The Couch 19 August @ 07:24 PM EST

This isn't to say that the Rapids Front Office isn't doing a good job most of the time, and I've had great interactions when I've dealt with them. I do want to point out where the organization needs to improve though, and I ask that you read it all and keep that point in mind. Click to continue reading...

Instead, Jamaica is rebuilding. There's a point that Trinidad & Tobago are doing the same thing as they play through the final round of qualifying. Click to continue reading...

Gold Cup: Matchday Nine (Your Running Commentary)

Soccer By Ives 12 July @ 03:35 PM EST

The final day of the CONCACAF Gold Cup Group Stage takes place today, with Mexico trying to win Group C by knocking off 2-0 Guadeloupe (7pm, Univision).

The scenarios are very intriguing today for 'El Tri', who could win Group C with a win, but who could wind up playing the United States as a third-place team if they lose and Panama wins its game against Nicaragua (5pm, Galavision).
