PODCAST: R.I.P. Monarcas Morelia

After just a few weeks of rumors stirring and fans protesting, two days before the club’s 70th anniversary, Monarcas Morelia officially faded into obscurity on June 2.

The club was relocated by its owner, TV Azteca and Grupo Salinas, to Mazatlan, Sinaloa. The actual move shocked the Liga MX world and left the soccer-loving population in Michoacan, as well as all other Monarcas fans around the world, with no club to follow.

Nes and Antonio were joined on the pod by Brian Bertie, a native Peruvian living in Canada who was the online voice for Monarcas in English on Twitter.
