Now that we are in and assuming Piojo stays, it will be interesting to see how the roster shapes up, assuming no injuries what 23 man roster do you guys predict? 1. Corona 2. Ochoa 3. Munoz 4. Rafa 5. Maza 6. Moreno 7. Reyes 8. Aguilar 9. Layun 10. Guardado 11. Aquino 12. Medina 13. Zavala 14. Gullit 15. Herrera 16. Montes 17. Fabian 18. Gio 19. Chicharo 20. Oribe 21. Jimenez 22. Ayala 23. Lobos Wild Cards Vela(with the NT pretty much getting a clean slate after this, can he finally make a comeback?) Chaton( If he can find his form he could be immense in that Medina role) Salcido(A vet who can play multiple positions in Piojos system either at CDM, LWB or CB) Reyna(If he is in form he is amongst the most talentend players Mexico has) Mier(Injured but still a promosing CB that could provide depth) Arce( Fits in Piojo's 3 central mid system)
1.- Ochoa 2.- Munoz 3.- Corona 4.- El Rafa 5.-Reyes 6.- Moreno 7.- Ayala 8.- O'Rey Maza ??? 9.- Araujo 10.- Layun 11.- Aguilar 12.- Guardado 13.- Escoboza 14.- Chaton 15.- Gullit 16.- Herrera 17. Medina 18.- Vela 19- Lobos 20.- Gio 21.- Oribe 22.- CH14 23.- Jimenez

simulator of the World Cup group stage. http://ultra-zone.net/2014-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Draws En toda la simulacion indica que Mexico estara en el grupo mas dificil me salieron 2 que esperono se den son muy dificiles colombia mexico francia inglaterra brazil mexico francia grecia Alemania mexico costa de marfil portugal
I'll take door #3. The Germans owe us a few + facing CR7 would be cool. (Let's pretend our defenders don't suck.)
I got Spain Mexico Chile Greece. I think we got a shot against chile and greece... Even though chile has the best team dynamic of all the south american teams.
second try i got Uruguay Mexico Ivory Coast Croatia That would be great IMO. lucky ass nads got Switzerland USA Nigeria Bosnia
I'm guessing he'll "suddenly" regain his love for his country now that everyone else did all the work for him.
My 23 1. Corona 2. Ochoa 3. Muñoz 4. Marquez 5. Moreno 6. Reyes 7. Layun 8. Guardado 9. Montes 10. Gullit 11. Hector Herrera 12. Giovanni Dos Santos 13. Chicharito 14. Jimenez 15. Escoboza 16. Peralta 17. Vela 18. Aquino 19. Nilo 20. Ayala 21. Maza 22. Davila 23. Mier (if he recovers in time) Every coach throws in at least one player that is controversial. For me that is Davila. Deal with it. It's so awkward picking out a roster when Chivas aren't the foundation. Especially defenders. Honestly we don't have too many to choose from. I cringed when I put Maza but honestly beggars can't be choosers. He wouldn't be a starter but he does have 2 wc under his belt. 5-3-2 -------------corona-------- ----Reyes-Marquez-Moreno Layun--------------------Guardado -----Herrera---gullit---montes ----Hernandez ------peralta------ Or 4-3-3 ---------------corona Layun--Marquez-Moreno--Reyes ---montes---gullit----Herrera Vela---------peralta--------gio Wet dream aka rape mode 4-3-1-2 ---------------corona------------------ ----------------------------------------- Layun----Marquez--Moreno--Reyes ----------------------------------------- ----------------Gullit------------------- -------Vela--------------Gio----------- ---------------Davila------------------- -----peralta----------chicharito-------
He eventually has to switch to a 4231, 433 or at least 343 right? Those formations suit our players best. Even 343 is better than a 352/532. Gio--------------Oribe--------------Fabian Guardado---Chaton----Herrera-----Layun Araujo----------Moreno-----------Reyes ------------------Ochoa-------------------
I don't know how welcome my opinion is, but from what I have seen, this is what I think Mexico's best lineup is. GK: Ochoa RCB: Reyes CB: Marquez LCB: Moreno RWB: Layun LWB: Guardado LCM: Pena RCM: Herrera AM: Dos Santos ST: Jimenez CF: Peralta Reyes needs to get playing time with his club. Thats the shakiest position for Mexico right now. If Mexico has to play a three CB formation, who is the other CB that plays with Moreno and Marquez? It would be tough to start a guy in the World Cup who hasn't played all year for his club team and the other options aren't that good. The five defender formation would allow Mexico to not have to play a dedicated DM in the center of the midfield. Dos Santos deserves a more free role to play. I think he plays best as an attacking midfielder. Jimenez and Peralta seem to compliment each other well. Chicharito doesn't fit in Mexico's first eleven. He would make a good super sub.
Mier will be rusty coming off his injury and Araujo's having a good season. I'd keep Chavez and Marquez off and replace them with another left wing back but I don't know who.
Whatever... GK: Ochoa, Corona, Orozco. DF: Moreno, Reyes, Marquez, Ayala, Layun, Aguilar, Mier, Torres Nilo. MF: Pena, Montes, H. Herrera, Enriquez, Lobos, Guardado, Reyna, Aquino. FW: Vela, Peralta, G. Dos Santos, Hernandez. -------------------Ochoa---------------- --------------Reyes---Moreno------------ Aguilar----------------------------Layun --------------Enriquez--------------------- ----------------------Pena------------------ Reyna------------Vela-----------Guardado ------------Peralta------------------------- If Vela can't be convinced, replace his roster spot with Jimenez and his starting spot with Dos Santos.
Rafa Marquez, Carlos Salcido, and Maza are gonna be in Brasil..... pa que nos hacemos. Might as well create your rosters around that fact.
It's gonna be hard to hide their lack of pace at this level, but at least Rafa(class and leadership) and Maza(height and experience) bring some value to the World Cup squad.
Maybe Marquez, but Maza has been in kind of a steep decline. If Herrera decides to stick with this two, I wouldn't be surprised to see them get blown up by the likes of Neymar, Eto'o and Manzukic/Olic/Eduardo. Marquez would be more valuable coming from the bench and Maza altogether out, specially with younger and more talented players at his position like Moreno, Reyes, Mier and Ayala.
Mier is injured unfortunately and he will be a huge question mark in terms of match fitness. I would prefer a defense of Reyes-Moreno-Ayala with Marquez being used as a D Mid.
If recovered by the time, he should be ahead of Maza, if not, I'd prefer looking for a younger and in better form option than Maza, or an extra RB.
