That was a great game. Mexico looked like Barcelona on that 2nd goal. Efrain Juarez was a beast in that game, to bad he hasn't been able to regain that form.
that game against Italy in 2010 was one of the best games i've ever seen the NT play. things were looking good heading into the WC and then Vasco just loses it.
@ Manuellon Could you add Pirlo vs Herrera in the pic like how you did brasil/Mex plz? and maybe Chich/Kagawa for Japan/Mexico.

We need to win this one, and seeing their roster I think we can beat them. We have to beat them because we will not beat Brazil.
Brazil are hosting so that is a nice advantage but aside from that I think we have a better chance of beating Brazil than Italy.
