Pumas in Draft 2008
By: Albert | No Comments
With the draft being underway, there will be some interesting transfers.
1st one relating to Pumas is Juan Carlos Cacho. A pretty good forward, with heading capabilities, some National Team qualities. He has been called various times to the Mexican National Team, and helped Pachuca to many titles. He is not the greatest talent in the [...]

By: Albert | 4 Comments
It is said to be a medium to long range goal to have Pumas be a Mexican only team, just like Chivas. Pumas currently have only 3 foreigners and 2 nationalized players, so it may not be too hard to do. Their goal is to bring back the essence of the University and use youth [...]

So Pumas is almost done. The 1-2 loss against Cruz Azul has really hurt their chances to make it to the Liguilla tournament and fight at a chance to win it. Ferretti and company still have a positive attitude and insist on going all out in the remaining games. Ferretti also says that it has [...]
