Sven Goran Eriksson mania invades Mexico

It is true, Sven became Mexico's ninth foreign head coach on Tuesday. To be honest, I support the decision, I just hope he gets the victories he could not get with England.

I positive Sven will excel in Mexico, he has a natch on eyeing new talent and will not favor any players as only has ever played under him.

Being the coach of Mexico is a challenging position, and stressful, but Sven has enough pedigree in his resume to sway anyone. Hopefully for tri color fans, he will take them farther in the world cup than he did with the brits.

****Mexico has reached the quarter finals twice, in 1970 and in 1986, both being staged in Mexico. All of their games resulting in a win or tie all played in the Azteca, with the advantage going to Mexico do to the altitude.

My point is, in 1970, there was no second round due to the size of the tourney. In 1986, they were lead to the quarters by the famed and Yugoslovian borned now Serbia, Bora Milutinovic, not bad for a foreigner.

Can Sven lead a team with a homefront as viscious as it is in England? Does he have enough clout to choose his players and not the ones forced onto him by the federation or the Mexican club team owners?

Torreon Santos winners of the Clasura!

After a year of almost joining the Mexican lower division, Santos Guerreros win the Mexican championship. It was a hard road, Monterey and Cruz Azul played to the occasion and made Daniel Guzman's men earn the victories.

Can Santos hold their core group of playermakers of Luduena, Vousso, and Benitez? The victory earns them an automatic berth to the new CONCACAF Champions league, but if players are sold to cover their spending spree from a year ago, how well can they fare?

Maradona, Hand of God Review

With Cannes Movie festival closed, there are two top Spanish speaking films that may hit the market soon. One is a documentary of Maradona on the field exploits and the other a biopic of Che Guevara played by Benicio De Toro.

Maradona is a controversial figure, politics, drugs, and doping, have lead Maradona to be an outsider of FIFA, footbals governing body.
The movie, Maradona, Hand of God portrays Maradona as a man of rises and falls through his life. The portrayal of these two films are the ones that legends are made of, but is that what really happen?

Torreon Santos en La Final; Video

I love the technology of youtube; relive the excitment of Santos glorious come from behind victory. Both games ended as ties, but Santos advances with superior league record. Down by 2 with 15 minutes left to play, Santos scores two to chance at the Mexican title.

The Penalty that never was whistled; Toluca VS San Luis

Sad the way the game ended with bitter feelings; but soccer is an emotional sport. One referee mistake, a player that over reacts, and a silly tie breaker rule creates an emotional atmosphere.

April NPDs; Videogames are popular?

With billions being spent monthly in the US alone, or maybe North America, who knows, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are content. Really who cares, as long as they publish the gamea, that gamers want to play, how hard can it be?

Each party will have a stellar year, with record breaking months ahead of us. I do not foresee a "Sega" someone jumping ship and only doing videogame software anytime soon.

I just have one message, you publish em, we will play em.

Weekend Update May 17 - 19 2008

I will be playing more GTA4. I find myself playing the game as I would watch the Sopranos, one hour at a time. A few missions and cutscenes here and there, hopefully I will still be intrigued for the summer. It is turning into a tragedy, sorta how Eastern Promises turned out.

No movies this weekend, but please go watch IronMan. Really. Start your summer right. Wall-E has me intrigued, those Pixar folks keeps the Disney name on the bleeding edge of art and entertainment. Without them, what would Disney have, how many Lion Kings do we need?

The Super-Con is this weekend. Jorge Garcia of Lost fame will be hosting two panels, with photo opps available. Maybe he can sign my Blu Ray Season 4 edition....

I expect in buying three to four graphic novels, I just need to catch up on Powers...

Also I will probably catch my usual six futbol games on Saturday and Sunday. Not sure how, but I usually do.
