This is sort of unrelated but does anyone know when the Mexico vs. USA tickets at Azteca go on sale? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Do we not come out and play in Honduras against Mexico??? Are we going to be in charge of firing Chepo too?? Following the footsteps of Meza and Sven I see But seriously.. we only bunker in Mexico, cuz we want to not lose. And I don't agree.. not "nearly" as good.. thats a stretch. Suazo and Pavon were decadent, Costly was in his prime. Palacios and Guevara was holding the midfield together, defense wasn't as good, and they were weak mentally. Honduras won't panic if they go down a goal as the US game showed, and the talent is all over and they have quality depth.
Sorry, I just didn't see it, based on what has been shown in the last round and in the game against the US, it is clear to me that, at least when it comes to individual talent, the team is weaker than it was 4 years ago. This says nothing about the result though, they may very well get a result against Mexico at home.
This is who Chepo SHOULD call up. Not who i think he is going to call up. And this should be starting 11. Vs. Honduras --------------------------------Corona---------------------------- S.Meza-----------H.Mier-------------H.Moreno--------T.Nilo -------------------H.Herrera---------J.Zavala--------------------- C.Vela--------------------G.D.Santos-----------------A.Guardado --------------------------J.Hernandez-------------------------------- Subs/Reserves: G.Ochoa,J.Orozco, J.D.Santos, D.Reyes, J.Enriquez,C.Salcido,J.Aquino,G.Pena,M.Fabian,H.Ayala,O.Peralta, Raul Jimenez
that's a great lineup though i would switch Gio & Vela around to have Carlos right behind Chicharo as a support striker
They parked it in the gold cup.. and it worked for 90 minutes.. Mexico came back to win 2-0 in extra time. IT doesn't matter if he is Colombian or not, If he coached Belize he would park it also.
Previously we would always go to Central America and arrogantly play attack....terrible idea. Thankfully Chepo's tactics favor a more defensive approach. It worked great in El Salvador, although it was boring game since ESL was too timid to press us and attack thoroughly. The CR game was quite similar, although I think CR has a mental block against us, the same way we had one with the NADs. Ironically, we looked better at the away match vs CR than the one at home. I am not sure what to make of the Honduras match. History tells us they win. I also think they will win, but they tend to choke alot after having a high ride (vs USA 2009). But like everyone else has said previously, if they play open, I think the match will be ours. Our defense and counters are top notch. Remember the heat will not be a factor for us. Plus we now have a week of preparation and not that 48hr BS.
I'm not looking forward to making that trip to mid-high 90 degrees San Pedro Sula. Its going to be HOT AS PHUCK on the 22nd.
I don't know how heat isn't going to be a factor. Mexico isn't that hot except for Tuxtla and they never play in the heat. The hottest games are Toluca and Pumas because of playing at 12 and look at how much people complain about that. Plus if people complain about our european players not being accustomed to the altitude, it will be less to the heat as they never play in those conditions. People should remember when we beat St. Vincent 7-0 and then a couple of days later could barely beat them 1-0 and just walk all game because of the heat. Let's just hope it rains that day or becomes cloudy.
Cloudy... in March.. in San Pedro Sula.. lol.. No Guey Jose. They predict like 95-96 degrees Sunny as phuck. I might actually not go to the game. lol just to get cooked. Oh yea, I saw a recent article in Honduras that said Mexico will try to protest the game time to FIFA.. lol, enjoy summer early bruh
Some places have relatively consistent temperatures though. I think he's saying that even if it's cloudy, the overcast will still be hot as hell.
why are you worried about the weather in Honduras? At the south of mexico we have had temperatures about 90. At the north of mexico from april to september is a boiler. The mexican players must to be acclimatted to this temperature (heat). I think this won't be a factor, MNT must win in Honduras and i think have the enough players to do that. But please, is not necessary to have two forwards as Chica and Orribe
Very true. Only thing I can think of is the Mexico loves to wear Black jerseys. If they decide to wear the black in 90 degree heat it could be a stupid choice. Although they may have gotten rid of them for this new white one they wore against jamaica. So it may be a moot point and they will wear Green (Which is still bad but not as bad as black in heat.)
No they don't. First off Northern Mexico isn't as humid. And as I said only Tuxtla and maybe Cancun get as hot but they NEVER play at those hours. It's impossible and unrealistic to think that the heat will not affect them.
