Bueno, el sorteo nos sonrió. Más fácil que lo esperado. Brasil, una bestia como siempre, pero los otros dos son accesibles. Camerún y Croacia tienen sus potencias, pero nos quedó bien conociendo las alternativas en sus respectivos bombos. Una breve análisis de los rivales me dice dos cosas: podemos clasificar a octavos y se va muriendo la linea defensiva lavolpista. En los primeros dos juegos nos toca equipos que utilizan una especie del 4-3-3. En esas situaciones no es viable jugar con linea de 5. Hasta el propio Ricardo Antonio lo confesó. Entonces, si el Piojo va a experimentar con su linea lavolpista se tiene que esperar hasta el último juego ante Croacia. Pero si saca buenos resultados contra Camerún y Brasil, ¿para qué cambiar la cosa? Tiene que ir trabajando una linea de 4 desde ahorita y para esto necesitará echar mano a los europeos. Las deficiencias del Maza y del propio Topo son reducidas en una linea de 5 pero ese tiempo ya pasó. Además es muy raro ver a alguna potencia seguir jugando con dos puntas como lo hace Croacia. Pensando en futuro el Piojo tendrá que cambiar. ¿Qué piensan muchachos? Camerún Brasil Croacia
7/10 difficulty as far as the group 10/10 difficulty in the next round matchup Brazil is as tough as it gets but we have had some success with brazil teams in the pass. I think its safe to say that the rest of the teams are of similar level. I don't think we are wayy better than any of the others or significant worse than them. I'm sure the cameroonians and croatians like their chances of making it out. The potential matchup in the next round is brutal though
Se ha visto que México ha jugado con una línea de cinco que es muy flexible. El 3-5-2 le favorece a México contra un equipo que se va replegar, tal como lo hizo Nueva Zelanda, pero coincido que es una formación dudosa contra equipos más capaces.. También se puede decir que la formación a veces es una de 4-4-2, con el enganche (Negro Medina en los juegos contra NZ) se repliegue y actué como otro defensa. Tambien se puede replegar uno de los carrileros atrás. Los Europeos diría yo son los factores X por el momento. Gio puede ser usado como media punta o como medio. La verdad pienso que si juega como medio jugara mejorar porque el Gullit era el tipo de mediocampista que le hacia falta al Tri. O sea, un jugador que te da buena distribución del balón y buen recuperador de balones. Aunque, muchos de los medios le echaron leña Gio por sus actuaciones yo digo que le afecto más la falta de medios eficaces en la distribución de balones que era algo que carecía El Tri. Claro que hay mucho que mejorar y en el Mundial nunca hay que confiarse.
It's an accessible group but if Mexico doesn't commit to it's more talented players (meaning the Europeans and some locals that were not considered like Lobos and Reyna), ignores youth and speed and doesn't get stronger at the back (I mean, 5 goals in3 games against New Zealand and Finland's B-Team), they'll have a quick exit. As of right now, I'd put my money on Brazil and Croatia.
I feel confident about the group stages as long as we take the best players we have and I include vela. I hate how Herrera sets his teams up but it might work Ochoa Layun,Ayala,Moreno,Reyes,Guardado Gullit,Herrera Vela,Gio,Cheech/Peralta I don't want Marquez as a starter dood doesnt have the legs anymore, I rather we try Ayala or fawk it play Maza.
Croatia has been ass too though They only put up 2 against Iceland in the playoff in 2 games. Look at their qualification and you'll see that they had a pretty rough time in a group that wasn't all that demanding
So we agree that the big winners were Argentina and Colombia? If Colombia tops their groups they get the 2nd place of group D And If Argentina tops their they get the 2nd place of group E This is so set up for Messi to step up at the world stage
Another thing to consider in our group is that all of our matches are very close in proximity We should see the same type of weather in all of these venues
Neither do I, but his passing, long distance shots and versatility makes him a nice guy coming from the bench.

Brazil: Strengths- Too many Weaknesses- None, which is great for us since they will crush Croatia and Cameroon. Croatia: Strengths- Midfield with Modric and Rakitic. Weaknesses- The attack with Eduardo and Olic are old. Backline is weak. Cameroon: Strengths- Makoun and Song good mid, like to attack. Weaknesses- Attack with Eto and Webo is dangerous but they are old. GK and Defense is weak. Mexico: Strengths- Attacking depth, GK depth. Weakness- FMF, Coaching changes, players refusing call-ups, fullbacks, midfield, etc...
ya se armo chavos .. i for one will be going to the Cameroon game, and brazil i cannot wait !!! definatly not a bad group , need to beat cameroon, croatia, we can even beat brazil if we play lights out like in london
If Mexico passes this group stage we play the best from group B in the knockout no? So after group stage if we are 2nd place in group A we play 1st place in group B? Spain or Netherlands , sigh.
yea thats the thing no matter what happens the road doesnt get eaiser , but i have hope , Spain , Netherlands are nothing compared to a "at Home" Brazil ...now that shit sucks , do you remember the fans during last confed cup theyre intense !
