Herrera is finishing up procedures for his euro passport. Don't know about Vela, I just assumed he didn't make the cut.
Sounds like Tata is pissed off at Corona cause he had agreed to travel to San Diego even with his injury, but pulled out and stayed in Portugal in the last minute. And now it turns out that Porto didn't report any injury to the Mexican federation. Goddammit Tecatito.
Supposedly there'd be repercussions. What I'm wondering is what repercussions do you place on a player who has a new contract and is living large in a great city with a great team. Suspensions from the NT seem counterintuitive.
I've been out of the loop with football but why are people wanting Jonathan in the starting 11? Not saying he does/doesn't deserve to be there but I thought bigsoccer disliked jona.
I wonder what "which player will suck the least at this position?" position we'll have this cycle. We always seem to have one of those.
From this link.. http://www.espn.com/soccer/mexico/s...fuming-over-jesus-corona-absence?platform=amp Sounds overblown on Tata part. "He didn't have to train or play if he couldn't, but we needed him to be here. At first he said yes and then on midday on Sunday, he called to say he'd thought about it and that his ankle wasn't right and that he preferred not to travel." I'm with Corona. Gold cup isn't that big of a deal. He knows we know it. Champions is key.
It's not the year before a world cup. Tata needs to chill his nuts out and operate with discretion. This isn't Atlanta Silverbacks this is Mexico. People are paying attention to everything. Fingers are tweeting away and this Tata out here crying already. But still.. Awaiting Corona pics chilling hard on a playa en Cancun ala 2005..
Him being near his 30s and playing in MLS didn't stop him from playing well in the World Cup. Vela is still a top player for Mexico unless proven otherwise.
