Thanks for the info. Should make it slightly more interesting match. Should Mexico win, they'll have a rematch with Honduras which should be good.
Just imagine the dive-fest that would occur if Mexico played Guatemala. I really hope Costa Rica can eliminate Mexico in the quarters, because if they survive that game they'll get Rafa Marquez back from Spain for the rest of the tournament.
Costa Rica has been garbage this whole tourney. Don't believe they can just turn it on to play a ************ Mexico.
Your probably right - but Mexico missing Castillo, Pardo, and Fonseca could make it more interesting. I'll make my early pick - 1-0 Mexico.
Not impressed by either team but Mexico was more organized and composed. Panama better bunker against the US or there going to give up three or four.
What a piece of fermented shit game. This is the worse Ive seen Mexico in 7 years. Good game by the Panamanians... Mexico will kill the Nads if we meet up. Something tells me what we are seeing is superficial. At least I hope it is...
You know, For a not playing anybody worth a damn in your first round group you sure talk a lot of shhit. At least Panama, Mex, and Honduras have one thing going for them. They have faced some of the best competitions in the tournament Meenwhile the US might be starting to believe their own hype... if you ask me the Nads are primed for an upset.
Where the heck is Guadalupe? I cant imagine Mexico losing before the final... This whole damn tournament should be a cakewalk, its a damn shame the way the boys are playing...
It's some French island that beat Canada. O, and imagine it because Mexico already has lost before the final and will again.
I honestly dont see the Nads winning the cup. Ill even give them credit to a point, they have been playing well. But my team has suspiciously dropped off in quality the last few games. Look at Italy, we all know they werent the best in the group and they won last year. El Tri will be fine...
I say Mexico loses to Honduras again. They've been the most impressive team offensively in the tourney to this point. I don't think there is much arguing that. Mexico's team has been shown to be slow and has MAJOR holes in the back right now.
Damn right. The team has had a knack of playing better with its back against the wall, personally I think it says alot about our culture in general, but thats beside the point. I see a Panama-Mexico final... hehe
Playing better with your back against the wall? Like tonight? You guys were terrible tonight and Panama was hard drawn to not get a better result.
Rafa will be back for the Semi, and in playing shape. I dont understand whats going on with our defense. If anything our defense was the strongpoint under the last regime... I think the players are tired..
I agree with you. What I meant is that we play better when we face teams who are considered stronger. Its that piece of shit attitude that pissess me off. The team is loaded with talent, and is probably going to be the best generation of talent we've ever had. Results aside, there is no way any team in Concacaf is remotely close to having as many talented players. US included.
I don't think one player is going to make enough of a difference. Mexico has more than one hole in that back line. I dont see any way that Mexico makes it past Honduras. They were lucky to not be beaten 3 or 4 to 1.
You can have as many talented players as you want, but if you play like crap it doesn't mean anything.
This is the attitude that has led to that 0-7-2 record against us on american soil. Talent only gets you so far.
I can see what you mean, but its not as bad as it looks. The tall goofy centerback is not suppossed to be back there, or in the team in general. Our defense is fine, its the fact that we arent playing what were good at, which is passing the ball around. The coach is on some whack Euro longball shit... Our players arent built for that.
Apparently you missed Mexico's effort vs. Honduras. They played slightly worse than Mexico, and were unlucky not to have won.
This was worse than Honduras, as they are actually a decent team at best. Mexico usually beats Panama by three or so gols...
