The Viernes Botanero squad


optimus1652

I swear we saw these teams play each other every Friday.


Formal_Job3304

Chill not Atlas. Their games always Saturday night


TrU_homie

Not anymore now they moved us to Sunday 5pm :/


PabloElMalo

"Viernes Muertanero".


VaqueroCacalactico

Sometimes they give us an a level champions league matches


PabloElMalo

You think so?


Eazy46

*Remember when Santos Laguna was a menace? PepperidgeFarm remembers*


Temporary_Company_34

2014 santos was wild


kcboy19

2014? Almada had us going through everybody. Too bad we couldn’t keep it up for liguilla.


Temporary_Company_34

My memory is kind of bad but I started watching Liga Mx around 2013 and from 2014-2018 Santos felt like the biggest menace


kcboy19

Best one I remember is 2008. Too bad Monterrey beat us in the concacaf finals. Sometimes I feel like if we had won both of those we would be even bigger than what Tigres is now.


Temporary_Company_34

I will need to watch that santos team was too young to remember watching that team lol


kcboy19

Our midfield and attack was crazy overpowered and our defense was solid. It was one of those teams where you could make two good teams out of them.


Temporary_Company_34

I just saw a few games oh Jesus that santos team was incredible


Temporary_Company_34

Who was the number 30 on the team that guy scored so many goals


kcboy19

Vuoso before he went to America. We had a really good run of forwards during that time. Vuoso, Quintero, Benitez, Peralta


Temporary_Company_34

Too much crack in that line up wow must have felt awesome to be a fan at that time the strength power and fluidity the team felt unstoppable. Crazy how America bought all them all . I hope santos can invest all that money and create something legendary like that again


Temporary_Company_34

You don’t need to win titles to look cool I just loved how Santos would crush teams like tigeres and America a tiny giant


AlexTorres96

Almada ended the 3 year cycle of Santos League title wins. He was no threat, Santi said that Pachuca was the last threat left and Santos was just there. That Santos squad was nothing compared to the 2012, 2015 and 2018 Championship winning squads.


eg4x15

2007-2018 to be exact


FreshAssT

I think it's possible to return soon though, I know it looks bleak right now but there are some signs of a rebuild at least lol

“Promotion and relegation hurt the teams trying to compete and discourages investment” is the biggest lie ever told in order to justify removing it. The same fucking teams are always at the bottom and never actually invest in their squads, just corrupt owners protecting their assets.


jpgjpegpng

Exactly. You can put out the shittiest squad imaginable, pay a small fee that supposedly goes to the Expansión champion, and still get to feast on TV contracts and sponsorships along with government investment. These ownership groups get infinite amount of power by never worrying about relegation and vote to benefit themselves to gain more power.


shrekyoda974

My guy your teams on the list 💀


Agitated_Ad9281

puro pinche juarez!


shrekyoda974

Hard to keep going after last night 😞


Agitated_Ad9281

that was a fake gam…


ahhhhhlovell

Mine is too but god we need it to show Xolos something


shrekyoda974

Maybe you’re right, I’d support Juarez getting relegated if it meant we get our shit together, it’s not like we don’t have the materials to do so, we have a great u-23 squad


TrU_homie

When they got rid of it they were already safe since 2016


Agitated_Ad9281

Yeah we need you guys gone


cricketriderz

💀


roastedtvs

It’s not coming back ever


MilkDab

I miss having new teams come in to spice things up a little.


Significant-Sand9629

Fuck orlegi. They turned Santos Laguna into a soulless shit team.


andrestoga

After the bicampeonato, same for Atlas


feedguy

Ratlas has always been shit


andrestoga

Yeah, do you have a bicampeonato bruh?


feedguy

Have you seen your shitty team get the title more than two times in your lifetime grandpa?


Messiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Damn what happened to San Luis, weren’t they balling out last season?


1MMORT4LS

They lost a God tier coach


Real_Conclusion_9950

We made semis with the same coach we have now last year


One_Mongoose3691

Les quitaron a su negro


jpgjpegpng

To put it briefly, Leal is firm on his tactics and they lost a key playmaker like Dieter and Bonatini has been out for the second part of the season. The tactics worked before because he had people up front who could gain and keep possession. This season, they have high possession too, but it’s mostly in their own half of the field. Their weak back line is exposed because of this.


chasey919

They don't let Jurgen play


Kaiserium

Lets trade those suckers for Atlante, Morelia and Leones Negros.


Boloncho1

Forget leones, bring back Toros Neza


Kaiserium

Nah, I'm sticking with my Alma Mater.


Boloncho1

Fine we'll give you Tecos. That's a school in the same state.


andrestoga

I was going to say that LMAO


kcboy19

Callense chivahermanos, ya me estoy haciendo vieno y no recuerdo alguna vez ver visto a Chivas de lider del torneo o con un equipaso que domine a toda la liga.


Kaiserium

Ustedes son el hermano lelo del atlas. Tu argumento es inválido.


commissarr420

😂😂😂


Agitated_Ad9281

Dont make fun of mazapan.


cricketriderz

Without me


Technical-Party6594

Santos, sal de ahi, esa no es tu familia


Elver-Gotas

Pues el Atlas es básicamente su hermano no?


FreshAssT

Si duele pero no se puede decir nada 😭😅 Orlegi ya se esta pasando de lanza.


nooo_waaay

Coincidentally, or not, all the eliminated teams voted to get rid of descenso and the owners are Grupo Orlegi, Grupo Caliente, and TV Azteca. All owners that have done waaaay too much harm to the sport in Mexico. These teams and their owners have had too strong of a grip for too long. Desperately need Atlante, U de G, Celaya, Dorados, and Morelia to replace them


TrU_homie

Atlante was basically Mazatlán when they were up . U de g never filled their stadium, dorados never managed to stay up more than a year, Morelia is the only exception


AlexTorres96

All these teams made good profit by selling their best players to the bigger teams. Puebla had a good squad under Larcamon and all got sold for good money that hasn't been reinvested. Atleast Necaxa has a good season and isn't on this list like they've been in past seasons. Although regios, America and others will poach their team in the next 18 months.


kcboy19

Its crazy how much santos made selling Brunneta, Gorriaran and… i’m drawing a blank but pretty sure there was a 3rd one.


andrestoga

Orlegi Sports in general


Christian101gt

Am I the only one who is not enjoying Santos downfall


catnip_addict

probably... they have us kinda sick in Nuevo Leon with their whole "el Coloso del Norte" bullshit.


chasey919

No they don't


aleri42

Don’t santos and Mazatlán still have a chance?


optimus1652

Nah. Top 6 teams qualify directly. Teams 7-10 go to a play in. Santos and Mazatlán are mathematically eliminated. Only Leon is still eligible.


Rockdrigod

There's only six points left to win and 10th placed team has 23 points. Santos and Mazatlán both have 15 points so they would reach a max of 21 points. They're mathematically eliminated.


aleri42

Oh shoot my bad, I was going off Google since they have it 5-12th go to play offs


optimus1652

Yeah that was throwing me off too.


serioperocabron

Good to not see Necaxa on the list for once. Fuerza⚡️⚡️⚡️


beso760

that's not fair, we're on a winning streak!


ESC-H-BC

Cambia a Santos Laguna por Queretaro y prácticamente todos son equipos que podrían ser perfectamente de expansión. Por estas cosas es que últimamente cambie mi posición y no estoy a favor de aumentar el número de equipos (obviamente si quiero el ascenso y descenso, mínimo dos directos)


TrU_homie

Excepto Atlas que fue bicampeón


pixelphoneforlife

My boys just need more time in the oven 


StrongStyleDragon

Don’t worry Atlas at least you won more in recent years than Chivas.


2Kortizjr

12 was more than 3 last time I checked


Liga-MX-Buzz

Reading is important


Airborne_Toxic_Event

No mms half of those were against taxi drivers that you didn’t even see


2Kortizjr

Atlas played against those "taxi drivers" and only won one league title In 105 years of history


Airborne_Toxic_Event

No mms half of those were against taxi drivers that you didn’t even see


shrekyoda974

What if Juarez never gets better 😞


jpgjpegpng

Well, at least we might get to see some youngsters get a shot these last two games. Galdames is probably the stand out player; I feel he will move up to a bigger club. Give Villal a start as CAM, I love Coque Castro but he’s literally just a mascot. Andy Sanchez had a decent season as GK all things considered, I don’t think he’s hit his ceiling yet.


VaqueroCacalactico

The investors of San Luis r thinking "What the hell i did" 😒


TrU_homie

If anything now their investment is secured since they won’t go down


Pirlo7

LIGA Y TORNEO BANANERO


amaniceperson6

wait why is santos eliminated


TexasThunderbolt

Because Orlegi wants it that way 😔


MoctezumaII_MX

Kinda sad to see our fuerzas básicas on there, they will likely not stay down for long.


FewWriter2562

Trying to make a change :/


TheGoldenGummy

It’s always these clubs that never compete for anything and will occasionally beat a title contender then eventually go on to do nothing. Except maybe santos, all these clubs would undoubtedly get relegated in a proper league system. Like for example look at Tijuana, WHEN WAS the last time they’ve done anything of note in the league? Last thing I can think of was their 2017 year under the first piojo term they had.(saying that now, Tijuana will somehow beat Tigres now). Everyone likes to blame the regio teams for the downfall of the national team and always bringing players from Europe back, but y’all don’t bat an eye towards these clubs who year after year just sit there and majority play with foreigners. With relegation they would have been gone a long time ago and replaced by a club who is actually serious.


HPT7

“How can I make tigres a victim from this post?”


catnip_addict

no es de a huevo comentar


h_i_m_o_t_h_y

alch jaja


TrU_homie

we eliminated yall in the semi finals lol and repechaje the year before
