#LigaMX quarterfinals kick off tonight.
9pm ET: Chivas vs. Toluca (Universo)
11:15pm ET: Pachuca vs. Club AmΓ©rica (TUDN)
Tomorrow is the meat of the sandwich, with TWO playoff derbies, one between Cruz Azul and Pumas and the other a Classico Regio between Tigres and Monterrey.

I have been a Pumas fan for ages. Don't know why. Just the edge of been the underdog so often.
But now a Monterrey fan. We have player on loan at #ForgeFc #CanPL from them for the season. He is fast, tough, smart. Made significant goal contributions in our first 5 games. Daniel Parra. Part of their CONCACAF Champions winning team.

@intothewestaway I'm a Liga MX neutral, but I have a soft spot for Tigres. I just love old man Andre-Pierre Gignac. He's a million years old, but he has this knack for scoring huge goals in the playoffs.
Plus, when he scored against New York City FC in the CONCAchampions, he did the Thierry Henry celebration from his time with the New York Red Bulls. So he's basically a deity to me.

@intothewestaway Henry with the Red Bulls was a special time. I loved surly Thierry. One time he scored an amazing goal and hardly celebrated because he was still pissed about conceding a soft goal minutes earlier. He was NOT in Major League Soccer for the paycheck. He really, honestly cared.
-
I have seen his reaction to the discussion on racism with Kate Abdo and Micah several times. The man is nothing but passionate and smart. His anger is obvious.
-
@intothewestaway Shame he hasn't proven to be as great as a head coach. But if I was as smart and talented as he was, I, too, would be furious with players who just couldn't see it the way I see it.
If he can't win the Olympics with France this summer, I don't think he can do it with anyone.
That said, I'd have him as Red Bulls manager in a heartbeat. I'd fire the new guy who's doing pretty OK so far. He can do no wrong in our eyes.

He was on the list for #CanMNT but not sure how that went. Being bilingual would have been excellent. He left Montreal because of COVID he said. Couldn't travel home.
