El Reto Final - Legends Game...

More soccer at Pizza Hut Park tonight, when the Legends of Chivas de Guadalajara take on the Legends of Club America in El Reto Final.

Part TV show and part game, this is the third installment of the Reto Final series. A few years ago, the show matched up the veterans of the U.S. Men's National Team versus the Mexican National Team...last year, the show featured a match between Argentina and Mexico old-timers...

Fox Sports en Español televised a series in which a host would approached former players of both Chivas and America, and invited them to participate in one final Classico, El Reto Final. The Classico takes place tonight at 8 pm at Pizza Hut Park, and will be televised live on FSE and on delay on Fox Soccer Channel (11 pm CT).

Duilio took part in the show, but will not be playing...Click here for the PHP release...or Fox Sports en Español's coverage.

This is O.T. but your match tracker for the RSL game is wrong. It does not show that Toja came on for Ricchetti at the end. He did, however, apparently commit a foul from the bench. It was only about ten minutes, but I'm sure he'd like credit for the time he played. :)

I watched this game last night on the Tele (would have come to see it, but knew nothing about it until 15 min. prior)I was both saddened and excited to see how full the stands were. It just really highlighted for me how badly stadium placement and marketing has missed the boat on the Latin community. Having watched the amazing Blanco abuse Red Bull earlier in the day, I can't help but wonder where FC Dallas was when Chicago landed him. "Club Norte de América" Featuring Blanco & Davino. That would be cool.

Are there any good English language sites that cover the Mexican league? I would like to learn more about the league, but sadly do not speak Spanish.

I was trying to say Club America North above, was I close?

I think you said "Club North America."

Not too many people expected great things from Blanco when he came up here. Look at Davino, he has been a complete bust.

Also, do you people not realize that there are people of Latin descent living in Frisco and Plano and everywhere else in North Dallas? You guys act like the only place latinos live is in central Dallas.
