With the Guard1anes Round 9 matches played over the past two days, we’re now just a smidge over the halfway mark of the regular season. While there have been a few interesting matches, the overlying headline is just how mediocre most teams in Liga MX are, unfortunately. The vast majority of the teams have had an up-and-down season and not even all four of the “Big 4” have proven championship-worthy as of yet.
While many may blame it on COVID, I blame it on the horrible non-relegation rule change for this year. With franchises aware of said rule, their investment level and decisions have changed mightily, as no team got notably better over the offseason.
