Some guys have all the luck - and some can't get any. It was a quiet week for Mexicans playing in Europe, with the two headline stories bringing a pair of El Tri players into stark contrast.
On the one hand, there's Raul Jimenez. After playing a role largely as a super sub with Benfica the last several seasons, the forward moved to Wolverhampton this summer and has been a standout with Wolves. That continued this weekend, with Jimenez setting up Ivan Cavaleiro for the first goal in a 2-0 win over Southampton. The pass was reminiscent of the one he used to set up Joao Moutinho last week, with Jimenez again getting the ball in the box with his back to net, holding off a defender and pushing the ball toward a runner coming toward the goal.
