A cinco meses del Mundial de Catar 2022, lo mejor que puede hacer la selección mexicana en estos momentos es dar por terminado el proceso de Gerardo Martino.

La Liga MX Femenil tendrá nuevas campeonas.
Chivas y Pachuca disputarán la final del Clausura 2022, luego de dejar fuera a las dos grandes potencias del fútbol mexicano en la categoría. Las de Guadalajara eliminaron a Tigres, mientras que las Tuzas se cargaron a Rayadas, actuales monarcas de la competencia.
La eliminación de Tigres y Rayadas no es cosa poca. Desde la creación de la liga en 2017, ambos clubes regios han sido protagonistas esenciales en el crecimiento y desarrollo de la actividad. Y las cifras son elocuentes:
