If you hate football, the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinal between Jaguares and Cerro Porteno is probably why. The two teams are tied at 0-0 at halftime in Chiapas, Mexico without either side really doing anything that resembles attacking. A couple fouls 30 yards from goal is the only thing that has resembled a dangerous attack.
Jaguares Vs. Cerro Porteno, 2011 Copa Libertadores: First Half A Crime Against Football
Jaguares are the cinderella team from Mexico who frankly, are not not as good as the top teams in the tournament. They’ve found a way to advance though and are the team that most neutrals will be drawn to. The problem is that they are a step below and tonight are playing without Jackson Martinez, who is out with a suspension. An underdog playing without their best player will probably be limited.
On the other hand, Cerro just has no interest in really playing. They’re content to take a 0-0 draw and are playing boring times boring with a little bit of boring thrown in. If you need a soccer club to dislike, turn this match on and watch Cerro. You’ll have your club to hate before long.
