Daniel Rodriguez has said yes to Guadalajara
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Veracruz have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Hugo Arteaga leads the rout of Dorados
3‑0, and Hugo Arteaga took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Veracruz tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Veracruz say no — this time
The offer from Cruz Azul for Victor Corona was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Both of them Hugo Arteaga's — 8.39

Victor Corona falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
