I'll try and post a little review of all the games after the weekend as I spent a lot of the day watching every game thanks to my two "T" friends, Tecate and Tivo.
Amazingly on opening day I ended up 5-2 and +1.4 units.
I bet .5 units on each game and I have a feeling if I end up keeping a record it will get confusing because my units fluctuate with my bankroll.
I'm going to set a $ amount for bets, not that I'm really concerned about keeping track for others, but just for the sake of the thread and not to confuse others.
Saturday:
5-2 (+1.4 units and +$98)
Games were more entertaining than I thought and the one real snoozer (Indios/Tecos) landed where I wanted (Tecos and Under) which helps for entertainment value.

Is Pachuca trying to follow in the footsteps of CD Chivas Guadalajara?

First I had heard of that. Would think they would be looking more domestic with expansion, but not the worst idea.
On a side note, Sven-Goran Erikkson was at a Mexican game both Saturday and Sunday. Since my Spanish is very limited, I couldn't tell what they were saying when they showed him on the TV. Anyone know what his interest is in the league?

Some game notes from this past weekend, hope this helps someone out:
Cruz Azul 2 -Chivas 2
Cruz Azul missed penalty in 3rd minute.
Chivas backup keeper looks sharp.
Chivas gets no call on offsides for opening goal.
Game really opened up after Chivas took the lead. May have been completely different if Azul makes penalty early.

San Luis 2 Morelia 2
San Luis dominated early play but still trailed.
Sloppy defending by Morelia results in equalizer.
Morelia's uniforms look very cheap.
San Luis totally dominated play but were lucky to score a late goal and draw. Morelia's defense was completely out of sorts on both goals, something to file away for later.

Atlante 2 toluca 1
Offsides nullifies lid-lifter for home side.
More of a laid-back baseball crowd in Cancun.
Sloppy defense leads to Toluca goal off set piece.
Atlante pressuring to equalize.
Questionable penalty awarded to Atlnate and they drill it home.
Toluca playing not to lose getting bombarded with pressure.
Toluca's manager gets the boot, probably still steaming from PK call.
Atlante better side offensively.

Pumas 2 necaxa 0
Necaxa very leaky on defense but Pumas yet to take advantage.
Game opens up when Pumas scores.
Pumas totally outclassed a lifeless Necaxa side today. Again be cautious as they can't possibly be this bad in the future.
America 3 santos 2
Did not watch this, forgot to tape it.

Puebla 2 monterrey 2
Puebla opens with sloppy goal as ball kicked around box.
Monterrey with slick goal to tie things up.
Pretty open game with lots of back and forth action and good scoring chances.
Yellow cards being handed out like Halloween candy.
Monterrey's sloppy defense leads to another Puebla goal.
Point blank free kick just outside box ties it up.
Lots of fireworks in this one.
