There were plenty of America fans in Puebla last weekend, and they were treated to a 2-0 victory by their team. Even after the game, though, some left disappointed. Diego Lainez, the teenage sensation who will suit up for Mexico against Uruguay on Friday, came on only for a late cameo.
Manager Miguel Herrera was asked about the decision and if he felt he'd disappointed the fans after the contest. The prickly manager bristled at the question, pointing out fans came to see more than simply Lainez.
"I expected that they came to see America. Lainez isn’t America," Herrera said.
