There Is no better city than Monterrey to talk about soccer. The best fans, teams and, players are from the north of Mexico. The reasons that soccer is better in my city is because Tigres UANL have a beautiful history, a great culture and of course the best players on the continent.

The history of Tigres UANL it's so amazing. Tigres UANL was founded in 1960 in San Nicolas de los Garza in the public university of the state of Nuevo Leon. Tigres won five times the Liga MX and the Copa MX three times. Actually Tigres UANL is the champion of 2017. The stadium is called 'Estadio Universitario' and the capacity is around 41,650 and it's located inside in the university of the state of Nuevo Leon. The team was the 2015 Copa libertadores runner-up, losing the final against River Plate. No one of the teams of Mexico can won the Libertadores, only 3 teams came to the final, Cruz Azul Chivas and Tigres. Tigres made history with the best contract for the best player in the Liga MX, Andre Pierre Gignac.

The culture of the fans and players in Monterrey is like a religion. Tigres biggest rival is Monterrey and the derby it's called 'Clasico Regiomontano'. The distinctive colors of Tigres UANL are light gold and dark blue. Tigres have claims to have the Mexico's most loyal supporting crowd. Every season Tigres play in front of a sold-out stadium, more than 40,000 people come every Saturday to watch their favorite team. Founded in 1998, 'Libres y Lokos' are the biggest group of ultra-fans of Mexico. The 'Libres y Lokos' always sing the song that is called 'Bomboro Quina Quina' because of the best player in Liga MX (Gignac).

Tigres has the best players in the Liga MX including the best player on the continent, the French player 'Gignac' Other important players are Damm and Aquino. Gignac won the golden ball in CONCACAF with 33 goals in 49 games in his first season. Aquino and Damm were important because of their velocity and dribbling to give the assists to Gignac. Damm is the second fastest player in the world, better than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Aquino was the best player with more assists, 10 in 17 games.

In conclusion the state of Nuevo Leon has the best team on the continent with the best players, a great history and a beautiful culture. Tigres will be the first champions of Libertadores, and of course will be the champion of this year again. I learned and I recognized that Nuevo Leon have the best talent in Mexico for soccer and the best stadiums including the best fans and songs to sing every season. Come to Monterrey and enjoy the carne asada with a good beer!
