I’m too depressed about this to write. Anyways…

In the 21st Bravo scored a header but it was annulled because of a foul in the area. To be honest I didn’t see one and I think it would have been fair if Tigres had gone up 1-0 with that goal. This would have been Bravo’s first goal in the Clausura 2009 and against Chivas.

A goal by Tigres was scored in the 40th with a header by Pedro Benitez. The aerial game has been causing problems lately.

And….we didn’t really have any notable chances. This game was not very exciting. I fell asleep during the last 10 minutes and it seems like all I missed was a semi good chance by Chicharo Hernandez. I like that kid. I think he should play a bit more because he puts in more effort than Carlos Ochoa or Jared Borgetti.

The next game isn’t until April 4th against San Luis. It’s a bit far off due to the World Cup qualifying for which 4 players(Aaron Galindo, Johnny Magallon, Alberto Medina, and Omar Arellano) have been called up. Hopefully we’ll use that time to reboot or something because things have not been going well.

Also, rumors are that Efrain Flores is in danger of losing his job. I don’t think Vergara should fire him. The season is almost over. There are only 6 more games and the type of manager that Vergara would want to lure in is probably a foreigner who wouldn’t get the game right away. Let Efrain continue and see if he can do ANYTHING. There’s still the Libertadores and we seem to be doing alright with that.
