Cinco cosas que dejó el empate entre México y Estados Unidos

Ya está. A los libros va otro partido en que México no pudo ganarle a Estados Unidos. El quinto consecutivo.  

Sí, el Tri estuvo cerca, a un pelo. Sin embargo, los casi no valen en el fútbol. No alcanzan. 

Sabemos también que la vida sigue, que para qué llorar sobre la leche derramada, pero antes de ir para adelante es bueno quizás compartir  ideas que quedaron dando vueltas después de lo que se vió en el Clásico Continental de Glendale, Arizona.

Before I tell you about how awful the rest of the game was, let’s enjoy the big highlight of the game.

Ni en los moleros: El momento exacto en que México perdió la chance de volver a ganarle a Estados Unidos

México no puede con Estados Unidos. Ni en la Nations League, ni en la Copa Oro, ni en Eliminatorias ni en los amistosos moleros.

El Tri empató con el USMNT en Glendale, Arizona, y extendió a cinco el número de partidos en que no puede vencer a su más enconado rival. La última vez que lo hizo fue el 6 de septiembre de 2019, en tiempos donde la humanidad ni siquiera sabía de la existencia del COVID.

Qué tiempos aquellos.
