In other news Carlos Ochoa, Alberto Medina, and Marco Fabian have been included in the final list for the game against Sweden on January 28th. They will have to present themselves to the national team on Sunday.

Some bad news. Johnny Magallon who is currently getting better after breaking his arm in October has been given the news that he will not be able to play the game against the US in Columbus on February 11th. He still has an estimated 3 weeks until his rehabilitation is done and he’s part of the 7 starting members of the national team that have been ruled out for the game.

And remember. Saturday we play against Tecos. We will be looking for a win to push us ahead in the group after the 3-3 draw against Cruz Azul.

I predict a 3-1 win for Chivas with goals by Ochoa, Fabian, and Medina. The 3 golden boys of the moment.
