Mexico

Adios

mexflgWhether good or bad, all things come to an end.

After several years with the Mexico World Cup Blog, Al and I have decided to move on to a new venture. As you may have noticed, the frequency of our posts has severely decreased with the exception of our Mexicans Abroad section and guests posts from Bryan.

We’ve enjoyed our time and appreciate that every reader that has visited the site.

A World Cup, a couple of Gold Cup championships, drug scandals, prostitution scandals, several managers, angry parents, and several other moments have helped define our time here.

We want to to thank the World Cup Blog and the Offside network for giving us a spot to blog about the team.

But for some time we’ve had the idea of moving on to our own place since we feel this spot is not longer the best place to carry out what we wish to do.

Please join us at our new venture, Tri Report. Bryan will also be joining us as this new site as will Rich. We will try to bring you continuous coverage of the Mexican national team, the players abroad, and other great features. We couldn’t have done it without you guys, and we hope that you’ll continue to follow El Tri with us.

-Andrea

I’m going to be lazy and just agree with everything that Andrea said. But I also want to thank every reader that has stopped by all these years and hope that many of you visit us at our new location. I’ve been reading this page since 2006 in the WC Bob/John days and when I had the chance to contribute, I worked my hardest to provide the best content possible while juggling my undergrad in college.

Writing for this blog during the 2010 World Cup was an unforgettable experience, because Andrea and I gave our all to provide great material and a place for any Mexico fan to mingle and discuss anything Tricolor-related (which was a huge plus for those who aren’t too proficient in Spanish but loved Mexican soccer). As a result, we landed around 350-400k visitors in June 2010 alone which may not be a big deal to some of you but it was to us, considering we only received around 5k per month before that. Hearing all of your stories and opinions was/is wonderful and I read nearly every comment, not because I’m a creep ready to debate anyone who disagrees with me, but because everybody has a say and I wanted to read first-hand what fellow fans think.

I had lots of fun writing each and every post but unfortunately I think that if we remain here on World Cup Blog, we’ll be limiting ourselves to what we are capable of achieving as an English speaking Tricolor resource. The Offside/WorldCupBlog is practically a ghost town and the new owners, SB Nation, do very little with it and won’t even reply to an email if you send them one. So it’s time to venture on our own and start this neat little website that we hope can grow into something big by the time the next World Cup starts.

If you are interested, there might be a possibility for whoever wants to take over this very website but once again it depends on how quickly SB Nation gets back at us. I’ll provide contact info when I find it but otherwise, drop a comment here if you’re interested and I’ll get in touch.

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps

This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...

Enjoy Landycakes enjoying some First Bottom. In a room of armed men hell bent on protecting the object of his lurid fantasies at all costs. Or maybe they're there hunting down that dude straight out of the WWII flick on the left, looking like he's about to pillage something. (No comment.) And ...

Torching Burnt Bridges With Samir Nasri

Cripes, Manchester City's all over the place these days. One supposes with that ending they're allowed to be. Also: money's compelling. Don't ever think otherwise. They won the title this weekend after spending oodles and oodles of money the last few seasons. One oodle was Samir Nasri, you might recall, ...

The Charging Wolves Fan

Who knew Wolves - Wigan would have the best scene of the EPL weekend? Some bolder than thou Wolves fan sauntered into a March of the Cantaloupes and charged scores of Wigan fans. Presumably he had a decent reason. Or was reasonably sauced. One of those. Even better, all the ...

Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant

For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...

The Stop-Motion England Introduction

This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube. Even better, however, is that it's apparently part of a small series of videos, this one for England while the rest deal with the domestic game and specifically, Crystal Palace. The ...
