tough draw, though i think mexico will qualify first. has anyone watched this switzerland team play? i'm curious how good they actually are, they seem to have had an easy path in both the euro qualifiers for the euro championships, as well as the tournament itself. in the qualifiers, they finished ahead of turkey, armenia, georgia, estonia and the republic of ireland. i think honduras could qualify out of that group. they beat sweden in the playoff, and then once in the euros finished ahead of belarus, iceland, and denmark. beat the czech republic and the semifinals, and lost to spain in the final. if i had to guess i'd say they're a team built on a strong defense and counter.
dang, was not expecting this, it is not the group that had me concerned, but the fact that now we may face Uruguay or England (assuming all goes as expected). I was hoping for Honduras or some Asia/Africa nation on that 4th game. oh well, if we wanted to Medal we had to beat one of these teams anyway. /p
Time to get our cocks out. Mexico better get through. Cheech, Vela, Gio, Jona, and co. will represent.
3 at least and they have Shaquiri. I think we can beat them. Should be a very fun group. The South Koreans always have a solid team and I know nothing about Gabon. Pretty even groups all around.
Why is everybody so concerned with Uruguay... they finished last in their U-20 World Cup group & couldn't even beat New Zealand... people are just extrapolating their Senior NT form to the U-23... maybe they will be great by the time the tournament rolls around but they certainly aren't all that killer on paper might not even make it out of their group.
Their refuerzos could be a difference maker I think, that's it. Forlan, Suarez... you think someone from Africa or Asia is better? /p
I hope they call up everybody. I don´t give a fack. This is a new generation of Mexican players...they ain´t scared of going against the ¨giants¨of international football. Especially ones that can´t even qualify to the Euros. Bring ém on!
I have and he´s good, but one player beating all of ours. Come on now. That´s a facking weak mentality.
I said he could boss the MIDFIELD. Didn't say his inclusion would mean an automatic defeat for us. He should finish as leaders of that group. El Tri til I die fackers.
GROUP A: Great Britain Uruguay GROUP B: Mexico Switzerland GROUP C: Brazil Egypt GROUP D: Spain Japan
