One more failure, which accentuated the verb cruzazulear, was the headline that dictated the journalistic line. I understand what it takes for the history, tradition, record and obligation of a great Mexican soccer player to be eliminated in Concachampions, a result that only sharpened criticism after the ridicule with Pumas, but it would be necessary to stop at what was shown by the rival in turn, as an argument to weaken the utopian discourse of an absolute domain, which is clearly losing strength, shortening distances , strengthening the competition and transferring to their clubs the rivalry between two historically antagonistic countries with their national teams.
