Wow, that stadium listed as #1 (first in the list although I don't think it's a ranking) is a beauty. BBC sure knows its stuff.

Number 42 this year. Top club from Mexico. Now let's try and win some league games, ok?
FIFA.com has an article on Monterrey's championship and the De Nigris brothers.
Thirty dollars to see a minor league American soccer team play a friendly match. Who knows which players Monterrey will even bring in the middle of the season? Ridiculous. I'd go if it cost $15 or less.
Perhaps the best remembered of their meetings over the years was Los Rayados' similarly emphatic 4-1 away win in the Clausura Championship semi-finals back in June 2003. This coming Saturday's game made it to FIFA.com's website. Monterrey will win, of course. Best quote:
"Inspired by a magnificent performance from Guillermo Franco, Monterrey took a decisive step towards the final, where they prevailed in an exciting two-legged decider against Morelia." ...happy times.
From the midfield up, it's all Rayados. And it makes sense: 8 goals against the tournament's leader. See you in semifinals!
We have been hearing about a new stadium for Monterrey since the days of Jorge Lankenau. Lately the rumblings are growing and yesterday they presented a proposal for this 75,000 spectator stadium. Look too good to ever become true.
