America beats santos in their clausura 2009 debut...cabanas scores twice

Reyesamezcua · 19-01-2009, 07:19 AM

good game today, but i wonder if it would have been different if Benitez was there. that new guy plays somewhat like him but much more sloppy and never passes it.

Tio Nicci · 19-01-2009, 07:53 AM

Chitiva

Cabañas

Beausejour

mauber · 19-01-2009, 09:19 AM

I have to say that, without taking European teams into account, America has the best team in the world player by player

Good game yesterday... we miss Fernando Ortiz very much

iFootballer · 19-01-2009, 09:30 AM

yeah it was a good game. i was surprised that Oswaldo didnt stop that first goal, looked like he was in a bad position.

glad we got Ortiz. Plus Castillo didnt believe that happened at first he really helps us out.

it's possible. they are similar to the National team in that they have good individual talent, but the as a team sometimes they are mediocre.

jocky · 19-01-2009, 11:20 AM

I really like what I've seen from De Pinho so far

Santos has Darwin Quintero. He is from Colombia. He is a very special player I hope Santos know how to use, specially since they have him and Benitez together. Santos is just as good offensively as America.

Offensively yes, we also have Vuoso and Ludueña there

But our defense is a joke

About Carlos Darwin Quintero I can only say one thing:

...he is amazing

yeah, his only flaw though is his height, he is very short, but his speed makes up for it. He is so young too, Only 22 years old. I hope he goes back to Europe. Ludueña looked out of form yesterday.

Well... Santos Laguna didn't make a proper preseason... they where more like vacations

Scuba Steve · 19-01-2009, 07:02 PM

Just saw the second goal from Cabanas. Fantastic first touch there. But what is the e next to his name for? (same with a couple of others)

LilPancho86 · 19-01-2009, 10:12 PM

the (e) means that the player occupies a foreign player slot...

Compared to anything he did after leaving atlas, i would have to agree.... But de pinho is not worth losing negro medina and insua

Ah okay..... thank you very much.

Kellog_G8 · 20-01-2009, 12:06 AM

Glad this was made

I found the first America Clausura match quite good, glad they pulled it together and got the 2-1 win.

Vamos aguilas!

yea, he was naturalized while he played for pachuca, I think... but he's still listed as 'estranjero', for some reason... I admire chitiva's decision to play for his country of blood and culture...

Same here didnt get home till late in the 2nd half, did not know they were down 1-0. luckily Cabanas stepped up to give us the win.

victorpalmeiras · 20-01-2009, 02:25 AM

I like America. They really have guts for defeating Flamengo 3x0 in Maracanã.
Loved that game!

TheEdgeFan7 · 20-01-2009, 05:54 AM

That game was intense...i remember yelling my lungs out
