My friend Andy sent me this email yesterday: I just asked Miguel, my Mexican friend, if Cuauhtemoc Blanco has a nickname, and hid reply was - "The joke is that Blanco does not have a neck and it looks like he has a little backpack ("mochilita") under his shirt. Something like a hunchback." So he is called "la Mochilita" for "the little backpack." That is glorious fun!CONCACAF Champions Cup - Scores from the 2nd leg matches:Houston 2-0 Punterenas - Houston wins 2-1 on aggregate. Goals by Paul Dalglish & Kelly Gray.-It was great to see Brian Ching come on the field and have an immediate impact for Houston. He got a head to a free kick that went off the post and then teammate Kelly Gray smacked it home for the aggregate winner.-Bernardo Fallas of the Houston Chronicle with his match report.-Fallas also has some games note and word on injuries.-Let me say that Puntarenas are a really good team and only a couple players, like a bitchin striker, away from being a great team.-Marc Connolly at the US National Player
