    How about goals in practice and FIFA '10 too?

    That wouldn't be convenient for Chicharito then. What a shame.

    Cacho and Mendivil are interesting suggestions.

    Cacho's best form was in 2007 when he played with el tri. i remember him and Nery made a great combo at copa america. Problem is we need someone to put the ball in the back of the net and has body for the international game. Cacho 2007 > present day Cacho

    Mendivil has been lighting it up at the concachampions and has 3 goals so far in the apertura. dude is tall, has a decent header and has some mobility to him. his inexperience on the international is worrisome since we dont have much time to experiment but if he continues his good form i dont see why he doesnt deserve a look for a couple of those 12 friendlies.

    chicharito is part of the future. molding him starting now may not pay huge dividends for 2010, but will definitely for 2014.

    I would also like Chicharito to get a chance. He needs to bulk up a little though, he almost always loses headers against stronger guys and sometimes he gets thrown around like a rag doll.

    That was really magnified yesterday. Aquivaldo is probably about 5 inches taller, but if Chicharito was a little stronger he would absorb contact better and not end up on the ground most of the time.

    Mendívil's one of the leading goalscorers in CCL play but to be completely honest the competition has almost been non existent with the likes of Metapán, Jalapa, Houston, Árabe, etc. Even with that underwhelming group of rivals his finishing which is vital for a target man like himself, has been suspect at times. I remember a recent CCL match in El Salvador where he missed a clear sitter just outside the small box!

    Ultimately I don't think he's the answer at the 9 spot but even having said that I'd like to see him get a chance in a friendly or two to try and prove us skeptics wrong.

    You guys want a centro delantero that won't get outmuscled. Callup Frias from Indios. He's good from outside the area and he wont' give an inch.

    He was doing great in clausura 09. Don't think he's played much in Apertura 09.

    Frías is built like a tank but he's short and won't win aerial balls too often and on top of that he's shown to be VERY inconsistent.

    I remember watching him have the match of his life against América at Azteca last tournament but the next few matches he disappeared as well as being a non factor practically this entire Apertura 2009.

    Chicharito was getting manhandled by mosqueda. Chicharito isn't small either, but he plays like a wuss.

    Chicharito's listed at 175 cm, 71 kg. That's more or less 5'9", 156 lbs.

    I don't know if that should be classified as a "physical presence". :confused:

    I think the big physical forwards would have to be Mendívil, De Nigris, Guille, etc.

    He needs to work on his upper body for sure. A six-pack like DeNigris' would help too. :D ;)

    Re: which player who deserves a chance to play with the Mexico national team

    his lower body does not need work (look at those thighs), just his upper body. if he got manhandled by mosquera, imagine him against better and bigger defenders

    he's still young and if he works on that aspect of his game he'll have a much more polished game when he gets older

    10-15 more pounds of muscle would do wonders for this kid.

    Re: which player who deserves a chance to play with the Mexico national team

    True, but that would mean he would be more of a target forward.

    15 pounds more, even if it's muscle sometimes makes a players a bit slower and not able to jump as high.

    It would be nice if he got more muscle, but knowing trainers in Mexico they wont train that aspect.

    Chicharito will be fine once he makes it over to Europe.

    I still remember Vela shrugging Mosqueda off like he was nothing and scoring against Sevilla back in the 08 Emirates Cup yet when he plays for Mexico, dude goes down at the slightest contact sometimes.

    Anybody got a link to that goal?

    I'm not sure if that's the one you meant. Vela shook off another defender, Mosquera who made the error chased after them.

    cool.

    I was thinking they were recent trends, like last 40 games to factor in form.

    Which I now expect their rates to be alot lower.

    Re: which player who deserves a chance to play with the Mexico national team

    lets go by each player's most 2 most recent tournaments -

    moreno - a goal every 185 minutes

    cacho - one every 116 (because he didnt get many minutes at pumas)

    hernandez- every 154

    mendivil - every 94

    personally, i'm surprised by the cacho hate.

    i guess his tenure at pumas made everyone forget when he was with pachuca.

    i'm assuming chango is being talked up because of one season he had 19 or because he's a foreigner.
