This Sunday Pumas were crowned for the 6th time Champions of Mexico! There is no more joy in the world than watching Juarez climb the gate to celebrate with the fans, Pikolin in tears, and old man Bernal raising the trophy. All of Pumas Nation is celebrating today. Yesterday night thousands of fans went to the Angel de la Independencia to celebrate the 6th star. I haven’t stopped listening to Queen all day. Never been prouder than being a Pumas fan.
¡GOYA! ¡GOYA!
¡CACHUN, CACHUN, RA, RA!
¡CACHUN, CACHUN, RA, RA!

Category: Pumas Team NewsPumas strike lucky at the end. Remain top of group 2.

The road to the Elite Eight in Mexico for Pumas is getting closer and closer. Our winning streak is still active, and no other team in Group 2 has an answer for Pumas.
A very low crowd at CU (perhaps in spring break) showed up to see a lucky pumas scrape away a win 3-1 in the last seconds of the game. Chelis side was threatening the first few minutes and was rewarded with a Dulio Davino header in the 6th minute. Villapando would have a horrendous day today in CU and in a cross would spit the ball right into the feet of Martin Bravo who would level it for Pumas in the 40th.
The rest of the game would simply be luck. They say luck doesn’t exist in football, but many including Pikolin Palacios would disagree with that. The referee would give a red card to Sergio Perez correctly and would leave Pumas with the upper hand. Pikolin , like in almost every game, almost had his ass sent off too. His childish behavior is getting pretty repetitive in every game. Pablo Barrera’s inclusion in the game would revolutionize our attack.
A shot from outside the 25 yard box was mildly deflected, leaving Villapando with no chance giving us the edge in the 92nd minute. Then, super sub and old man Palencia gave all the Kiss fans something to cheer about when he scored in the play right after. 3-1 final score. Doesn’t reflect one bit how the game really was. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for Chelis’ team today. A win is a win though. At the end of the game these were the words from Pikolin Palacios
“Puebla did everything they could, the just simply had no luck”
when asked about his childish behavior
“It’s an aspect i should fix, i assume i shouldn’t be having those kind of actitudes, i was wrong. That same moment i said sorry to the referee for my actions.”

Coming into this game, all the media was talking about was the fact that Pumas had not been able to defeat Cruz Azul in more than 3 years. Apparently 3 years to the media, is 10 years because every mofo down at TV Azteca was getting wet about Pumas not being able to defeat Cruz Azul. Yes, they defeated us in last years liguilla and took us out of championship contention. Yes, they defeated a Pumas reserve squad in the CONCACAF Champions League. Should i repeat that? RESERVE SQUAD! (It is not my fault Tuca Ferreti didn’t take the Tournament seriously.) Yet, coming into this game everybody said Cruz Azul was Pumas’s daddy.
Therefore, coming into saturday all paternity allegations would be cleared. No need fo Maury on this one guys. In a game many consider a Clasico(not me), the stage was set down at the Azul for what would be a hell of a match. I’ll be honest, i felt confident about my team coming out on top despite the media overexaggerating the situation. Off course i had the thousands of travelling fans that just had to cross the street from CU to the Azul to thank for that. Once again, we outnumbered our rivals in their home turf. Outnumbering our opponent in away games is becoming the norm in these days (San Luis, America, and now Cruz Azul.)
We weren’t given much to celebrate about early in the game. In the 26th minute, Torrado shot a laser right in the corner of the net to put Cruz Azul in front. The sun block filled Mexican International hit the ball perfectly in what is sure to be one of the goals of the season. Torrado is actually a product of our youth system, which made it hurt more. The goal was also a reminiscentof the goal Torrado scored last year that ended our title hopes.
1 Minute later it will all change. In the very next play, we threw the ball forward and the debutant goalie Alfonso Blanco mistakenly came out rushing to get the ball away leaving the goal empty. Dante with a fine strike tied the game 1-1 as he celebrated with the fans. Beltran did everything he could but Dante’s strike slowly creeped into Alfonso Blanco’s net. Not a good way to start off his career for the Mexico U-20 goalkeeper.
After that, it was Pumas who was starting to take the initiative. A successful breakaway lands on the feet of Efrain Velarde who crossed the ball nicely to Martin Bravo. Martin Bravo with a world class reception managed to get the ball on the foot he wanted and shot the ball in the back of the net. In 5 minutes, Pumas had scored 2 goals to get a 1 goal cushion before the break.
In the second half, more of Pumas. David Toledo who was the surprise in the starting line up crossed the ball to the center of the box and the small guy Íñiguez took advantage of Bonet’s poor marking and put the game beyond all doubt.
The Blue onslaught started shortly after. Bernal was sensational though. The old man stopped everything Cruz Azul was throwing at him. The Cruz Azul players never gave up and in the 86th minute, it all payed off with Lugo finally getting through Bernal to put the game 3-2. It would be a thrilling last few minutes, but no more goals will be scored. Final score, Pumas 3 Cruz Azul 2.
Game of the week? No doubt! Our good form continues. We lead Group 2 with 4 more points than our closest rival America in second and lead all top 4 teams in points. Up next is Puebla in what will be a tricky game. ORGULLO AZUL Y ORO!!

Category: Pumas Team NewsIt’s that time of the year again.. Pumas vs America…
By: Rafael | 5 Comments
The time of the year when the streets of Mexico City go on lockdown and all the America fans hide behind the police and barricade themselves behind their house doors in fear. The time of the year when America fans are shown over and over again that there is only one barra that is worth mentioning in Mexico.
The time of the year when we make the Azteca our second home and paint a 105,000 people stadium Blue and Gold. Has anybody wondered how it feels to be outnumbered and outsung in your own stadium?
Has anybody wondered how it feels to lose a final to one of your most hated rivals?
Yes we haven’t beat America in 5 games…
but nobody does chicken like us
Category: Pumas Team NewsJust 2 weeks after the US defeated Mexico in Colombus , the rivalry is renewed
By: Rafael | 8 Comments
Some of you are getting ready to skip work and ditch class , like in my case, to watch a relatively new rivalry that has arisen between English and Italian clubs in what for many is the second biggest tournament in the world, after the World Cup, the UEFA Champions league. There is nothing more exciting then watching the biggest names of football fight out for that big eared beauty.
But Europe isn’t the only place where there is going to be Champions League action at. The CONCACAF Champions League resumes this week. 8 teams are going to look to win this one which includes 4 mexican teams, 1 Puerto Rican, 1 Honduran, 1 Canadian, and a measly 1 American team. Yes, for years Mexican teams have dominated this tournament much like the recent dominance of English teams in the Champions League. The 2 games that highlight this round of fixtures is the derby game between my beloved Pumas and Cruz Azul. The other is a game many of you should pay attention to. Atlante will play Houston Dynamo in Robertson Stadium in the first leg which promises to be a thrilling tie between a Mexican and American side.
It isn’t just the National teams that go all out at each other, but the Clubs too. Match ups between clubs from both countries have ended up in everything you love to see in rivalries. MLS teams are in the middle of pre-season work and Dynamo lost key players. Their motivation is that they are the only MLS team, and as the debate of whether the US is finally king of the CONCACAF lingers, Houston Dynamo is going to look to win this one and put the US’s name in soccer up high. All i can say is good luck to everybody as I will be cheering for my Mexican sides to come out on top.
Here is a taste of what you might see as Atlante players and New England Revolution players go at it at the end of a Superliga game. Expect some more of this
I also want to give a shout out to my peeps from Yahoo Answers.
Category: Pumas Team News5 games without a win and this kitten is angry
By: Rafael | 3 Comments
After almost 6 months of absence, I am back to address the dissapointment I am feeling right now in seeing my beloved team play this way. Today it seems we finished the transformation from title bidding Cougars to lingering, defenseless, almost bottom of the table kittens. With Leandro and old man Bernal out as our only casualties for today’s game, it seemed like even with the crisis we were facing we had enough to at least get a point out of El Jalisco.
Two goals from outside the box (Lucas Leiva and Edgar Pacheco respectively) paved the way for Atlas. Although both goals seemed impossible to stop, I am sick and tired of the mediocre performances our goalkeepers have put up. Bernal is getting old and it is obvious that we dont have an appropriate backup for when he FINALLY retires.
Tuca Ferreti could be on his last hours in this institution. We have a game against Cruz Azul this coming week for the CONCACAF Champions league. Tuca, if still in charge, is expected to field a team full of backups, but today was something else. In the first few games of the season, we played with 4 defenders and seemed to be playing well. Even when we lost against Toluca it seemed like we had some sort of ambition. These past few games Tuca has changed to 5 defenders. Why? I have no idea. Our defense is a mess and the team looks like is heading to a direction not even the players know of.
Our amazing fans who sing 90 minutes in every game deserve more than this. Tuca needs to get his tactics right or get sacked and our players need to show more determination on the pitch.
ORGULLO AZUL Y ORO!!
PS: WHAT NOW GABY?
Category: Pumas Team NewsFrom one rivalry to another. Pumas gets ready for Sunday’s big game with an 8 goal thriller against Houston Dynamo
By: Rafael | 3 Comments
To Pumas fans, there is 2 days they look forward to the most in the whole year. Those 2 days for us Pumas fans are when we face our most hated rivals AMERICA. Lets not get it mixed up with the United States of America. But yesterday night, Pumas played against Houston Dynamo in what was suppose to be one of those classic Mexico vs USA games. Whether the players were concentrated for Sunday’s big game against America or not, yesterday was a heck of a game.
Houston Dynamo went up 2-0, but only to see Dante score a goal and make it 2-1. The ex Barcelona man Juarez netted a scorcher after a deflated free kick and made it 2-2. A penalty followed for Dynamo which then was scored without a problem, only to see Pumas score a goal at the other end from old man Palencia. Pumas took the lead with a Veron goal just at the end of the half. The Paraguayan International took advantage of the bad marking and scored with his head. The CONCACAF referee left his mark like always by not giving a red card for a Dynamo player and a penalty. That didn’t matter though, a total of 7 goals were scored and not even I wasn’t complaining.
In the second half, we expected more of the same. Only one more goal would be scored though and it would be Wabel who would score to equalize and make it 4-4. Pumas went on to dominate the game, but couldn’t get the breakthrough.
It is obvious we can’t beat an inspired America if we play like this with such a bad defense. It is true we scored 4 goals but we also gave up 4. With the Clasico Capitalino just a few days away, the defense needs to start improving. Because like the famous phrase says ” Defense wins championships” and more important than a win against America we have the team to win the league.
Category: Pumas Team NewsEverything about Pumas in September summarized in one paragraph
By: Rafael | Add Comments
So I haven’t been on lately because of back to school but I sure missed a lot. So here is a small summary of what has happened
International break ends and Pumas gets back to business. In a tight game where Ricardo Ferreti ends up getting a red card, Pumas scores two goals in injury time and goes top of the league. That same week Martin Bravo’s pass finally arrives and gets a red card in his first game involving the CONCACAF Champions league. Odín Patiño the backup goalkeeper ends up getting a red card as well and Pumas is lucky to get a 1-1 from Panama’s San Francisco. The next meeting was against Firpo. Pumas had no problem defeating them 3-0. After that Pumas and San Luis the 2 best teams in the league starred in the game of the weekend. San Luis ended up winning 1-0 and Pumas gets demoted to second in the league. Now Pumas sits in a weekend full of classicos where the spotlight is in Chivas, Atlas, Cruz Azul, and America. With that said Pumas still faces a tough game against Atlante (yes they beat us in the final not so long ago). Nothing less than a victory is expected
Category: Pumas Team NewsCacho does the trick and we go top of the group
By: Rafael | Add Comments
While Chivas and America fans are lamenting their weekend games, Pumas in the other hand is enjoying a 2 goal lead in the top of their group. With one game in hand the only thing Pumas fans are lamenting is not scoring more goals. Not even Hurricane Gustav caused any winds of change for Pumas since they remain unbeaten at home. Juan Carlos Cacho scored a hattrick (the second one is a gem)
After scoring the 3 goals, he commented on saying he wanted to play for the Mexican national team again and rightly so since good old Sven was watching from up top. I don’t think it is too early to say Pumas are looking like title contenders.
