Mexico May Avoid Torreón After Boos at Uruguay Draw

Aguirre calls fan judgment part of the job, promising a committed team against Paraguay in San Antonio.

Overview

  • The 0-0 against Uruguay in Torreón drew loud boos, “Fuera Vasco” chants, and insults toward goalkeeper Raúl Rangel as locals clamored for Santos idol Carlos Acevedo.
  • Raúl Jiménez said it was sad to be booed at home and linked the hostility to playing more often in the United States, while Edson Álvarez reacted with sarcasm as the team left the field.
  • A Mediotiempo columnist reported, citing players and FMF insiders, that the squad is angry and may not return to Torreón, though no official decision has been announced.
  • Javier Aguirre accepted public criticism as fair, pointed to decision-making issues in the final third, and vowed an all-out effort in Tuesday’s Paraguay friendly in San Antonio.
  • Rangel posted a patriotic message after keeping a clean sheet and received backing from Chivas as Mexico’s winless run under Aguirre extended to five matches.
