58 also seems to be a common jersey number in La Liga FMF.  Does anyone know why?  Or is it just to spite the other Latin American countries, who as I understand it don't tend to be big Mexico fans?

Did you know...

 

55 MPH was the highest speed limit allowed in the United States between 1974 and 1986

I'm getting excited about the new season. I know Bruce's plan is to cross balls into the box for his new big forwards. And, the new Swede should help with that. But, at least the plan is coming together and that gives me hope.
