For anyone that hasn't seen it then - the second goal the player pushed the ball with his hands over the goalline and it was still given. It proved the winner for Atletico.

I'm sure it will find its way onto YouTube - I'll link you when it does.

Is this it?

La Primera División Profesional, informa que el encuentro Necaxa vs. Monarcas, correspondiente a la Jornada 13, se suspendió debido a las condiciones climatológicas prevalecientes en parte del país, particularmente en Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes.

El árbitro central del encuentro, Paúl E. Delgadillo, en acuerdo con los equipos Necaxa y Monarcas, determinó suspender el partido a los 39 minutos de la primera parte, protegiendo la integridad física de jugadores y aficionados.

El próximo lunes 16 de octubre, se informará la fecha de reanudación del encuentro. El marcador del mismo, se encuentra empatado a un gol.

An interesting thing to note is that the game will be completed just two days after it was suspended, which certainly wouldn't happen in this country.


Also as you watch Mexican football, theasfl (we don't get it here ), is Monarcas a promoted team? I've never heard of them before.


Oh and on a different note, I love the name of that city - Aguascalientes. Just sounds so cool (and yes, I know it's weird that I like a place name ).

It means hot waters. And its a state in Mexico in the area where a majority of the illegals come from.

I would bet that its the Mexican version of the city of Bath.

Look at my fixture list. Without at least two full squads of players I would never be able to get through it.

I meant that both cities are probably named for their hot springs.

Like most things, I wouldn't know the reason why Bath is named the way it is.

Yet you managed to find out who was the first host of SNL. Is this another instance of your false modesty??

Typing SNL into Wiki search isn't too strenuous.

I dont even think you need Wiki to find out what a 'Bath' is? At least i hope not.

Of course I do. But that isn't going to help find the origin of the name of the city of Bath.

You dont think that their is a correlation between a city named for its hot springs and the word bath?? This one should be rather obvious.

Yeah of course, what an idiot I am. As I said before, I know very little about most things.

That's not true though, see my posts on this page for the evidence.

Don't think so.

You knew all about Aguascalientes and Bath.

But you knew all about Mexican football and cool place names. I know nothing about those things. In fact, I should just shut up and read the posts and try to learn something.
