Good stuff GD.
I used to do something similar when watching soccer games by jotting down quick notes about specific team weaknesses or strengths that I noticed throughout the match and used them to see how they matched up against next week's opponents.
Its too bad you didn't get to watch the Santos v. America game since these are two teams you really want to keep your eye on this season. It was a very good game in which America displayed that their two men up top Moreno and Cabanas are going to be a force to be reckoned with while Santos' defense looked a bit rusty and their midfield somewhat lost without Luduena's creativity. (He should be back in 3-4 weeks)
Santos didn't look to shabby up front though and they could have actually won this game if it weren't for Ochoa's amazing performance defending America's goal.
I'll try to be back later tonight or tomorrow morning if I have any good insight in tomorrow and Sunday's matches.

Tecos 1 chivas 0
I was impressed with Tecos defense in first game and even more impressed tonight. They played the last hour of the game down a man and never made a mistake. They then took advantage of Chivas goalkeeper fatal error with the winning goal. (remember we talked about Chivas losing their GK in the Superliga, and even though the backup looked great last week, he made the slipup to cost them the game this week).
Could have been a much different game without the red card, but I don't like the over bet I made regardless in this rivalry.
Tecos plays a disciplined game, doesn't make mistakes, and has some firepower up front with Robert and Pony. They have impressed me a lot so far.

Looks like I have a ways to go on the learning curve of Mexican soccer. When I looked at my bets Saturday, every line had moved in my favor. Despite getting good prices, results weren't there.
Could be an abberation, bad luck, or the truth.
Fri: 0-1, -1.0 (-130.50)
Sat: 2-3, ev (-37.00)

Jornada 2: 2-6-1, -2.5 units (-341.50 in dollar terms)
YTD: 8-10-1, -2.95 units (-365)
Santos really let me down, frustrating team to bet on. They outplay their opponents but can't win.
