Can we get the Cafetero version of Kevin Castaño for Cruz Azul this season?

I don’t understand how our #3 CM looked so good in CONMEBOL qualifying but I hope he keeps it up.

Mexico had a plan and they stuck with it.

Play a low block, send Edson Álvarez like a rabid dog after anybody who holds the ball for too long, and play long balls to take advantage of being the faster team. For all the shit he gets from Mexico fans, Germany had no answer for Antuna’s runs. He popped up unmarked in space for 80 minutes straight.

It wasn’t perfect. Chucky didn’t see a few passes he should have found, Feyenoord Santi is still way better than selección Santi, and Romo looked lost.

But it feels good to see a Mexico team have a clear plan and execute it, even if the result is only a draw.
