The warm and salty air of Porto, Portugal welcomes travelers to one of the country's oldest cities. The city, located right next to the North Atlantic Ocean, is home to the Primeira club F.C. Porto. The Dragoes, as they are known, are one of Portugals most well-known soccer clubs. The club’s players and fans are always fighting tooth and nail for the Primeira championship against S.C. Benfica, one of their bitter rivals and the other character in the O’Classico derby.

Cubo Torres wreaked holy havoc upon the MLS when he played for Chivas USA in 2014. He scored 22 goals in 44 games before the club folded and the Houston Dynamo acquired him that same year. 

Torres started his first game in a Dynamo shirt on August 29, and got 66 minutes of game time and an assist. He's only appeared in seven games for the Dynamo thus far, and has yet to score.

So what happened? Erick "Cubo" Torres is only 22-years-old, but his career has already seen enough ups and downs to call him a veteran.

He was going through yet more hardship at Manchester United after struggling last season at Real Madrid. It seemed like de ja vu, only worse, because of the simple fact that he was back to square one, regressing. At Real Madrid he at least took one step forward by virtue of leaving Manchester United for a bigger club, which made his struggles understandable and eventual success more respectable. Struggling back at United made it seem like he had lost everything he had gained at the end of his stint at Madrid. 

Mexican international Miguel Layun is headed out of English side Watford to Portuguese club Porto. Layun will reportedly be on a one-year loan deal.

Layun is the second Mexican international to transfer to Porto on deadline day, following Jesus "Tecatito" Corona.

Dutch club FC Twente have confirmed Mexican winger Jesus "Tecatito" Corona is headed away from the club to Portuguese side FC Porto. 

Tecatito's Porto deal is reported to be for five years. The 22-year-old is one of the more promising young Mexican players right now.

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is moving to Germany. The Mexican striker never really clicked with manager Louis van Gaal at Manchester United, being sent on loan to Real Madrid last season, and is now headed on a permanent transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Chicharito's ghastly performance against Brugge likely proved to be the last straw, as far as the Red Devils were concerned.

Do you want to know what feels like it happened a long time ago? This, this feels like it happened a long time ago:

That was Javier Hernandez playing hero for Real Madrid in one of the biggest games of the year late last April, 4 months ago. 

Be careful what you tweet. Especially if you have a ton of followers and devoted fans paying attention to your words on social media.

Think twice about whether or not you want to or should tweet whatever is on your mind. Real Sociedad fans are teaching that lesson to star forward Carlos Vela.

Real Sociedad fans are furious at Vela over a tweet that Vela sent out not too long ago that centered on Athletic Bilbao’s incredible win over Barcelona.

Mexico's national team has found its coach, at least for the moment.

Brazilian Ricardo Ferretti, who manages Tigres in Liga MX and once said he would rather be a street sweeper than the coach of the Mexico national team, has been named the interim coach of the Mexico national team.

It’s difficult to succeed in Europe for Mexican footballers. It’s a whole new ball game compared to Mexico. They have to make do with the fact that good Mexican food will be hard to come by. Not that I’ve been to England (one of these days it’ll happen), but seriously I truly doubt you’ll find good Chile Relleno walking the streets of London. More seriously, players also have to make do with the fact that they’ll have to learn a new language and that the weather will be much different. In general, for anyone starting a new job in a new location, it's a difficult task.
