[edit] Nicknames and translations

Fans and the mexican media use several nicknames to refer to the Cruz Azul team: Los Cementeros, La Máquina, La Máquina Azul, La Máquina Cementera, La Máquina Celeste.

As for the translation of "La Máquina" the term "machine" should not be used as this word refers to a wide variety of devices, while in the context of the team "la máquina" is a short form of "La Máquina Locomotora", in reference to the cement freight trains used by Cooperativa Cruz Azul to haul their product, and therefore should be translated as "The Locomotive". The fans usually blow a locomotive steam whistle during home games. The word "celeste" refers to the shade of blue that is part of the team colors and as such should be translated as "sky-blue".

Uhm, does anybody know why and when Cruz Azul stopped playing in Jasso and went to play in the Azteca Stadium, and then when they went to play in the Estadio Azul?201.244.110.24 04:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC) POL


It doesn't seem to me that CA had a great campaign in clausura 2007 bein 8th out of 20 or 21, we actually consider that pretty much a mediocre performance in Mexico but well... you may want to review the Sanction part which is what I refer to.

Hello from Soriar in Wisconsin. Let's keep the page clean. Tonight I caught a few attempts of fake player additions into the Cruz Azul new roster, as well as fake attritions, like Jared Borgetti's (because he is too old)... Please refrain to abuse the article in this manner. It would be bad to have to lock this wiki because of stupid irresponsible people.
