Toluca Icon Vicente Sanchez Sold To German Club Schalke 04, ESPN Deportes Reporter Goes All Emily Dickinson On The Matter

The gravity of Uruguayan international and Mexican league starlit Vicente Sanchez’s departure from Toluca boils down to ESPN Deportes writer David Faltelson’s poetic homage to Sanchez’s decision to transfer to Bundesliga club Schalke 04, only four days before the Torneo Clausura begins. We’ll leave it in Spanish because, well, it’s way more dramatic that way.

La liga perdió hoy en talento…
La liga perdió hoy en emotividad…
La liga perdió hoy en capacidad…
La liga perdió a Vicente Sánchez…
Lo que para su futuro personal parece ser un paso determinante, para el Toluca es, definitivamente, una perdida insuperable…

You didn’t think he was finished, did you?

Te vamos a extrañar, Vicente…
Te vamos a añorar, Vicente…
Te vamos a llorar, Vicente…

No that’s not a tear running down our cheek. We’re sweating because it’s 36 degrees and snowing in New York City today and we’ve got 4 layers on, assholes. We understand the hardship Toluca fans will face in the ensuing months when their team is peering down the black hole of shittasticness. Actually, they are still a tough team, but just look at the Los Angeles Lakers post-Shaq. Need we say more?
