Mexican soccer does not rest and the controversy burns hotter than ever. In the most recent episode of Nueva Jugada, the flagship podcast of Nueva Network and QuéOnnda, hosts Alex Loé and Linda Cavazos put their finger on the sore spot after a weekend that left the “Chillahermanos” celebrating and Americanism plunged into existential doubts.
Alex Loé and Linda Cavazos: Authoritative Voices
The Nueva Jugada table would not be the same without the trajectory of its protagonists.
Alex Loé, known for her keen analysis and passion for the Eagles, confronted the “carrilla” after the loss in the Clasico.
Meanwhile, Linda Cavazos, with her direct style and always informed about the happenings of the northern teams and the national team, provided key data on the infrastructure crisis surrounding the 2026 World Cup.
El Clasico de Mexico: Chivas flies, America crashes
The obligatory topic was Club América’s loss to Chivas.
Although the score was just 1-0 thanks to a goal by “Ant” Gonzalez, the real concern lies in the performance of André Jardine’s team.
“André Jardine has more doubts than successes in this Clausura 26,” said Linda Cavazos, while Alex Loé tried to defend Azulcrema’s honor, assuring that, although Chivas is the undefeated leader, they have yet to face the most complicated rivals in the table.
The curious (and embarrassing) note was given by a fan at the Akron Stadium, who was expelled and fined after being caught on camera urinating in the stands. “You’re in a World Cup stadium, what’s left over are eyes,” said Linda.
The drama of the Azteca Stadium and Portugal’s “fear”.
The most powerful gossip of the episode revolved around the Portugal National Team and its possible visit to Mexico.
According to Portuguese media reports, the Portuguese federation is seriously concerned about the condition of the Azteca Stadium.
Despite the renovations, the hybrid grass has not yet “caught on” and the external works, including the subway, seem far from being completed by May 1, when FIFA will take possession of the premises.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo come?
Doubt remains in the air.
The hosts debated whether Cristiano Ronaldo would risk his last World Cup on a field that does not guarantee physical safety.
“Do you think Ronaldo is going to risk injury for a grinding match against Mexico if the grass is not good?” questioned Alex Loé.
Isaac del Toro: Mexican Pride on Wheels
It’s not all about soccer.
The “Jefas” of the play closed the episode celebrating Isaac del Toro’s milestone.
At just 22 years of age, the Mexican rider is already the third best in the world, after a historic performance where he overtook the number one as if he were on a motorcycle.
The episode of Nueva Jugada is now available on all audio platforms, such as Apple Podcast and Spotify, as well as on QuéOnnda‘s website.
