EAGLES vs RAPTORS @ Palillo Stadium, México City | Sunday, 2nd April 2017 | 15:00 p.m.

Expectations for this match grow stronger every second that we get closer to the kickoff. It is the most attractive game of Week 6 and we close the activities with this tasty dish. The Eagles are trying to catch the Mayas in the division, in order to not be left behind in the playoff race. The Raptors hold a tight grip of the first place of their group, and are willing to put everything at stake so they can stay at the same position when Sunday gets to an end.

Here is what you need to know for the coming game:

- The Raptors have to be prepared for either Raúl Mateos, N. 16, or Joaquín Juárez, N. 18, to start at the Eagles' QB position. In their last game, the Eagles passing game had better results, when Juarez was at the controls, still the game-plan of Head Coach José Campuzano, will seek to exploit the main weaknesses of the Raptors defense. The Eagles will also need to continue being creative with their running schemes, involving Mateos for the option plays, but not getting the burden in his sole shoulders.

- On the other hand, the Raptors offense need to capitalize on key opportunities, and play situational football when is required. When this offense begins to click, and their players are in the same page, the Raptors could be an extremely dangerous team and an high-scoring machine. Look forward to the exciting passing game of Márquez-Barraza-Guadarrama-García, which is going to give the Eagles defense everything they need to work the entire game.
-The Eagles also have their great passing game on their own, with Villalobos and Owens at the helm, but they need to began working early if they want to catch up with the aggressive Raps defense. It surely has been a tough preparation week for both teams, as they entered Week 6 with many things to work on, and many plays that needed to be refined and fixed. 


- Both teams are facing one of the toughest tests in their season, as we get close to the end of the tournament. It is going to be a great battle field that levels up this rising league in play quality, and pre-game excitement. The best comes at the end.

Eagles 24-27 Mayas It was a great day for a football game. The tone was set in the "Palillo" stadium to continue the activities for week 5 of the LFA Football tournament. The actors were more than ready. Eagles and Mayas knew perfectly what was at stake  – w in and take the leadership of the Suerox Division , or go home thinking about your damaged aspirations for the playoff dream. The first quarter opened hostilities with the Eagles choosing to receive the football immediately. A not so wise decision, given that Vladimir Araiza, N. 33, muffed the kickoff and left the Mayas team in their own 1-yard-line mark. Raúl Mateos, N.18, started as QB and began making plays with his legs, giving the Eagles room to breathe and operate their first offensive series. Then, Mateos made the first connection with Araiza, N. 33, to grant a first down and keeping their attack close to midfield. A couple of creative option plays showed the versatility of Mateos work, who pu...

LFA: First Week Hits and Problems

This weekend started the Mexican Football League LFA. There was a great expectation of the second season of the league. There were new teams on the north, new players, and more media coverage. And we were expecting to be more professional. In this post I will point out some of the hits and problems that the league had in general during the first week. As a hit, I believe that diversifying the location of some teams will allow more people to go to these games in different cities such as in Saltillo, Monterrey or Naucalpan. The matchups were really intresting and most of them were fun and entertaining. That is the main point of this league and sport. And finally, I saw some improvement in the way players performed. The same players looked in a high level of game phisically and mentally. On the other hand , there were problems with the organization and the staff. First of all, the streaming was failing. The league charged 499 mexican pesos (25USD) to watch the 24 games of the league, ...
