Alright, let’s talk about this Cruz Azul versus Club América game, you know, the one they’re playing for the Liga MX Apertura semi-finals. Heard some folks jabbering about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, even if it ain’t worth much.
First off, they played that first game already, and wouldn’t you know it, they just kinda stared at each other the whole time. Yep, zero-zero. A big ol’ goose egg. Now, they gotta figure out who’s gonna win in this second game. They’re playing at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, that big place in Mexico City.
Now, some folks who know about these things, they say Cruz Azul has a better chance of winning. They put some numbers on it, like 43.8% for Cruz Azul and 29.5% for Club América. And then they say there’s a 26.7% chance they’ll just tie again. Don’t ask me how they figure this stuff out, it’s all Greek to me. But I guess it means Cruz Azul is supposed to win, see?
They’re gonna start playing at 6 pm, that’s what they say. But you know how these things go, sometimes they start late, sometimes they don’t. It all depends on how fast them fellas can get their shoes tied, I reckon.
This Cruz Azul team, they’re saying they’re real good this year. Some folks are even saying they could be the best team ever in this whole Liga MX thing. But to do that, they gotta beat Club América first. And let me tell ya, Club América ain’t no slouch. They even beat Cruz Azul last year, so you know they’re gonna be itching for a fight.
- Heard tell Cruz Azul won nine league titles. Sounds like a lot, huh?
- They also won something called Copa MX four times, and that Campeon de Campeones thing three times. Sounds fancy.
- Club America is real tough too, so Cruz Azul’s really gonna have to sweat to win this one.
The bookies, those fellas who take bets, they’re saying if you bet on Cruz Azul, you can win more money. They got some numbers, like +145, I think. Means they think Cruz Azul will win, I guess. But you know, betting is just gambling. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Like that time I bet on the rooster fight down at the county fair… well, let’s just say I didn’t win that one.
Anyways, back to the game. This Cruz Azul team, they got a fella named Martín Anselmi who’s in charge. He’s been wanting another shot at Club América ever since they lost last year. So you know he’s gonna have them fellas all fired up and ready to go. It’s gonna be a real barn burner, I tell ya.
So, if you’re asking me who I think is gonna win, well, I ain’t no fortune teller. But if them fellas at the betting place are saying Cruz Azul, and them smarty pants with their percentages are saying Cruz Azul, then I guess I’ll go with Cruz Azul too. But like I said, sometimes things don’t go the way you expect. That’s why they play the game, ain’t it? Gotta see who wants it more.
At the end of the day, it’s just a game. Folks get all riled up, but it ain’t the end of the world if your team loses. Just gotta dust yourself off and get ready for the next one. But for these fellas playing, it’s a big deal. They want to win, they want to be the best. So, I reckon we’ll see some good, hard-fought soccer. And that’s all you can ask for, really.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. Heard a ruckus out there, probably just that old dog chasing them again.
