Players In Mexico's Primera Division Kick About With Twitter
Joining their counterparts in other leagues, footballers in Mexico tweet to the world and embrace social media
By: C.I. Sanchez
It is quite easy to stay in touch with footballers because these days many of them announce their daily plans, thoughts, sentiments, jokes, and whatever it is that is on their minds to the world. Twitter, a social media tool that is akin to sending a text to not one or two friends but to thousands, has provided this open platform.
The 140-character limit “tweets” have intensified the relationships between players and fans by creating real-time conversations. This powerful movement is changing the intensity of the game because now players have a voice—along with the fans, the clubs, and the football pundits.
Monterrey vs Santos Laguna Report
It's celebration time "four" Monterrey, who lift the championship trophy after besting Santos Laguna.
A tinge of fear was felt all throughout the city of Monterrey on Sunday night. The dread wasn't stemming from the home team's locker room, as the Rayados looked loose and confident despite being a goal down. Santos Laguna weren't guilty of the feeling either. They were just 90 minutes away from potentially winning the title.
No, the fear that could be felt throughout the Estadio Tecnologico and beyond came strictly from the side of town that supports UANL Tigres... a team that has gone nearly 30 years without a title, were now dreading the fact that their hated rival could pick up their third in just seven years.
Monterrey vs Santos Laguna Preview
It is crunch time for Santos Laguna and Monterrey as both teams will fight for their fourth championship in franchise history.
Ninety minutes separate Ruben Omar Romano from his first championship as a manager. Twelve years of near-misses, cruel bounces of the ball and poor squads are almost over for the Argentine, who nonetheless will face an incredibly difficult task in front of him as a battle-hardened Monterrey team headed by a five-time champion manager lie before him.
Santos Laguna repeated their bid to be Mexican league champions after they were denied in the Bicentenario 2010, and with a favorable 3-2 result in the first leg, stand before their fourth league title in franchise history.
Santos Laguna vs Monterrey Preview
Santos and Monterrey count down the last 180 minutes of a wild Apertura season.
Mexico's Apertura 2010 draws to a close this week as Santos and Monterrey battle it out for the league crown. It's been a strong playoff showing for both teams who dispatched some pretty stiff competition in the earlier rounds - but were ultimately benefited by the stunning Cruz Azul elimination in the quarterfinals.Two managers with a wealth of experience will clash in Torreón and Monterrey as Victor Manuel Vucetich goes for yet another league title, while Ruben Omar Romano is still seeking his elusive first. Also of note is the head-to-head matchup of each team's star striker (Christian Benitez and Humberto Suazo) with the opposing defense. The dismantling of América by Benítez and Carlos Quintero are surely weighing on the Monterrey defenders minds.
