It turns out, a move by Giovani dos Santos to Club America may be the key for that club to shine in the tournament.

The Future Of El Tri Is El Tecatito

This Sunday, FC Twente of the Dutch Eredivisie take on Vitesse Arnhem, and while the lineups have not yet been made official, you can bet that Jesus “El Tecatito” Corona will be tapped by his manager for the starting XI.
