Rafael Baca - ex San Jose Eathquakes in MLS

LOL, Baca is pish... in fact all the MLS players Cruz Azul signed in the last year were terrible (including that scrub Bernardello).

Joao Rojas is way better than Pavone and Formica, he's the real player to watch.

Marco Fabian, it depends if he's in his day or not, he's pretty much Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.

I think overall Cruz Azul is a stronger side than San Lorenzo, but San Lorenzo's striker department is waaaaay better than Cruz Azul's... Pavone is BAD, and Zurdo, the back up, is even worse...  :s

So it can be a game were Cruz Azul dominates posession, creates some nice chances but don't score just to be scored against in a counter or a corner.
