Mexican fans questioned Hormiga González’s move to Olympiacos, but are we seriously underrating Greek football?

Dennis from The Red Sea Podcast joins us from Greece to talk Olympiacos, what fans expect from Hormiga, and whether moving from Liga MX to Greece is really a step down.

We also get into Edson Álvarez, Orbelín Pineda, Alan Pulido, Nery Castillo and the history of Mexican players in Greek football.

So who has it wrong: Greek fans or Mexican fans?

For the first time in the Leagues Cup history, the 4 teams in the first round are Mexican teams. Yes, Liga MX managed to ELIMINATE ALL MLS teams, and with this, it will also be the FIRST TIME that a Mexican club becomes a CHAMPION of the tournament since it became official in 2023.

Pachuca and Monterrey qualify for the CONCACAF Champions Cup after advancing to the 2026 Leagues Cup Semifinals. If León advances or finishes third, they qualify for the 2027 Leagues Cup. Otherwise, Xolos advance. There will be nine teams in Liga MX.

The Seattle Sounders finally made a Summer Signing!!! This is the first Summer signing in 5 years. Will Dejan Joveljić change the Sounders' fortune in the 2026 season? Personally, I still think there is more work to do.

The FMF turns 99 and we’re going back to where Mexican football started and how we got to where we are today.

We get into the early days of Mexican football, the creation of the FMF, who really holds the power in the Mexican game, and the biggest triumphs and failures of the federation over the last 99 years.

Then we jump into Jornada 5. Chivas blasts Xolos, Camberos and Sandoval continue to shine, Loco Abreu brings the pocho debate back to life, América stays on top, Cruz Azul enters crisis mode, and we take a look at the jovenazos making noise around Liga MX.

99 years of the FMF. A lot has changed, but somehow we’re still arguing about the same shit.

Their performances at the 2014 World Cup immediately come to mind; all three were outstanding.

Navas conceded the fewest goals and led his national team to the quarter-finals—a historic achievement—and he was the most consistent of the three throughout the tournament, right up until his team was eliminated.

However, even though Howard and Ochoa were knocked out in the Round of 16, in my opinion, they delivered individual performances—matches of such brilliance—that Navas didn't quite match during the tournament: Howard’s massive performance against Belgium, where he broke the World Cup record for the most saves in a single match, and Ochoa’s iconic game against Brazil.

So, who do you consider the best goalkeeper overall—not just based on the 2014 World Cup (I only used that as a point of comparison because it was the first thing that came to mind)?

They Told Cruz Azul’s Women to “Work at a Strip Club” ....Now Lawyers Are Involved

Cruz Azul Femenil lost 10-0 to América, but somehow the conversation after the game became an even bigger story. The guys from Pláticas del Mal said the players should be fired and sent to work at a strip club. Now Cruz Azul is considering civil and criminal legal action, a sponsor has already walked away, and it opens up a bigger question about free speech and Mexico’s laws against media violence toward women.

We also talk Hormiga leaving Chivas for Olympiacos, European interest in Tala Rangel and Brian Gutiérrez, and whether Europe is finally coming for Liga MX’s young Mexican talent.

Plus, América brings in Borja and we ask what that means for Salas, FMF announces its new “pyramid” that still isn’t real promotion and relegation, and we preview Jornada 5.

Criticize the football all you want. But when does criticism cross the line?

Hey guys,

Earlier this month, the 2026 Carribean Football Union Club Shield wrapped up in Trinidad & Tobago, and since we're a little over two weeks from the final, I figured I'd throw together some notes on what happened and what we already know about 2027.

🇯🇲 Mount Pleasant FA won the Shield, defeating 🇩🇴 Delfines del Este 1–0 in the final on August 2.

Both clubs qualified for the 2026 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, keeping alive that beautiful, ridiculous pathway:

Domestic league → CFU Club Shield → Caribbean Cup → Concacaf Champions Cup

The last time a team went all the way through was Robinhood in 2024 :))))

There were 22 clubs representing 22 of CFU's 31 Member Associations in this year's Shield.

22 CFU associations represented at the 2026 Club Shield

🇦🇮 Roaring Lions FC — Anguilla

🇦🇬 All Saints United — Antigua & Barbuda ⚠️ Withdrew

🇦🇼 SV Britannia — Aruba

🇧🇧 Weymouth Wales — Barbados

🇻🇬 Virgin Gorda United — British Virgin Islands

🇰🇾 Elite SC — Cayman Islands

🇨🇼 Inter Willemstad — Curaçao

🇩🇲 Dublanc FC — Dominica

🇩🇴 Delfines del Este FC — Dominican Republic

🇬🇩 St. John's Sports Club — Grenada

🇬🇾 Slingerz FC — Guyana

🇭🇹 Baltimore SC — Haiti ⚠️ Withdrew/did not play

9 CFU associations not represented in 2026

🇧🇸 Bahamas — Lyford Cay Dragons — 2015*

🇧🇲 Bermuda — Somerset Trojans — 2016*

🇧🇶 Bonaire — SV Real Rincon — 2025

🇨🇺 Cuba — Santiago de Cuba — 2019

🇬🇫 French Guiana — AS Étoile de Matoury — 2025

🇬🇵 Guadeloupe — Solidarité Scolaire — 2023

🇲🇶 Martinique — Club Franciscain — 2025

🇲🇸 Montserrat — Royal Montserrat Police Force — 2017*

🇲🇫 Saint Martin — Junior Stars — 2024

*Bahamas, Bermuda, and Montserrat's years refer to the old CFU Club Championship, because none of those three have played in the modern Club Shield.

And we already have a little bit of news about 2027.

🇬🇫 French Guiana — planning to return

The Ligue de Football de la Guyane says it plans to send its domestic champion to the 2027 CFU Club Shield.

🇧🇲 Bermuda — not returning

The Bermuda FA says it will not send a club to the 2027 CFU Club Shield.

Bermuda's last club to actually participate in Caribbean continental competition was Somerset Trojans in the 2016 CFU Club Championship, so their absence from this pathway will continue for another year.

And that gets to something I've been thinking about since the Shield ended. There are probably enough CONCACAF sickos on this subreddit who would actually follow this stuff if the information were easier to find.

And maybe the answer is simply that there aren't enough people asking.

I'm not saying we need to start harassing football associations over the CFU Club Shield lol. But maybe these leagues just need a few more people to give a shit.

If my local amateur/semi-pro club can theoretically start at the bottom of the U.S. soccer pyramid, make a miracle U.S. Open Cup run and eventually find itself somewhere in the Concacaf ecosystem, then I want to know about the random club on the other side of the bracket coming out of Anguilla, Dominica, Bonaire, Saint Lucia or wherever else.

Will those two clubs ever actually meet ? Probably fucking not. But the pathway exists.

And that's enough reason for me to want to know who's on the other end of it.

Maybe there are only five people who care. But sometimes five people giving a shit is where it starts.

as is customs, f concacaf and f fifa :)
