Captions: Both teams took part in the protest
Tigres: So anyway I started blasting
Well, if they did not, the owner of Veracruz might still not pay their team, thinking "this is a nice drawing strategy", let's see how long will it last.
The fact they they did not play even when the other team was scoring goals is the part that send the message to the owner
They all probably had a few bets on to cover for their lost wages. 1000 dollars on a 3-1 result would be nice.
so they cant afford to pay their sports stars? the stands seem to be full, where is all that revenue going?
“Well, you see, it’s kind of a delicate situation here. We actually exist only to launder drug money, and it complicates matters to have all that money from spectators’ attendance, so we just don’t report the money to the government or anyone else. And everyone is happy. Well, except the players and the fans. But everyone who is important is happy.”
Gov tax in politician pocket to buy range rovers and 12 bedroom mansions and pools 😂
No matter in which moment your watching this video, Tigres is a small team.
It is not like they reached the club wc final
7 months later in my recommended

Even later and I thought this was “news”

When ping is high
when players are high*
Other team is pretty pathetic to keep trying to score after 2 goals tbh.
they put down the controller
Did the AR go on strike also? 2 offsides on that last "goal".
Klub-klub liga 1 harusnya meniru cara ini
Tigres players to their kids: And that’s how dad ended up with a 100 goal season! 😂😂😂
Is that Norwich?
Which one - the team in red, or the team in orange?
The key is that this is located in México, not England
holaa
You wear a helmet in public don't you?
The whole world: Omg why doesn't the owner pay the players? What a corrupt guy.
Mexicans: I hate Tigres 😡
Protesting for unpaid wages? Bact then football had no wages so be happy that you even are paid for kicking a ball

@@marioskapetanakis so if you're a fan of retro football it's ok if the current player's don't get paid?
