Whos in, whos out, who needs a chance

Israel castro has shown security and strength in the right side thoughout the cup, so i dont see why replace him with Mendez. I dont recall Mendez adding anything memorable to the NT.

What about him makes you feel he deserves another chance?

 

agree on most; Torrado I do not feel he is part of that group of players who most probably will start everygame from now on till wc. Mario Mendez isn´t playing well lately and Landin (M. Landin wtf?) has to show us a lot more to even get called, I know we all want him to be Borgetti´s heir but the guy is very inconsistent.

 

he wasnt even a starter in argentina...

 

All of the players that participated in the Gold Cup and Copa America will remain in the Mexican national team. Hence, I will venture to say that no one is out.

We must keep in mind that the bulk of the team now plays in Europe and we will have to play many games, friendlies, first round World Cup Qualifiers, with domestic talent.

Which is why we should expect to see more of Bravo and Medina, whom despite being disapointing at Copa America can get the job done against CONCACAF minnows.

However, there looms a question mark over a few players, mostly the ones that left under a cloud of suspicion: Kikin Fonseca, Carlos Salcido, Pavel Pardo and Ricardo Osorio.

Hugo has done well to keep the locker room problems internal and only time will tell if any of the above mentioned players have fallen out of favor.

With only a handful of friendlies to play before the year comes to and end we can expect to have a better idea of what the B'team will look like. The likes of Cuauhtemoc, Borgetti and even Kikin still have drawing power and their call up's, for obvious reasons, should not cloud our minds as to what Hugo has in store.

What will be interesting is if Hugo will take command of the U-23 squad that will play Olympic qualifiers, and then Olympics. This is the next important tourney in line for el Tri . Jesus Ramirez could very well handle the task but it would make more sense for Hugo to coach the team.

New players will surely emerge during the new Mexican league season and only then can we expect some of the current crop of players to get bumped down.

Aguante Hugo ~

 

I do not know why a lot of people continue to say that Torrado is not MNT quality, he is very consistent and has shown during the summer that he can hold the fort down, with or w/o Pardo. Lets give props where props are due, I just don't understand it. BTW, again Hugo's tactics did not show last night, I almost cried when I saw the changes he made....he made drastic changes as if we were down 2-0 at half....all we needed was one goal to get back in the game, we needed stronger help in the midfield....I'm sorry but I just don't see our game getting better with Hugo, our players will continue to improve but Hugo's coaching will bring them down a notch in MNT games.....thanks

 

I think Cacho proved that he more than belonged on the NT even if it's just as a backup, but at this point I don't know who else I would start over him.

 

I don't agree with Cuauhtemoc being out. Sure, he's old and getting very slow, but he's obviously one of our best free kickers, plus, since he gets hit a lot, we get more chances to score. As far as everyone else that you mentioned goes, I agree. I've never like Bravo and Oswaldo at all, and that remains true.

Torrado is someone that I also don't like. I just don't like how he plays most of the time. I think he's probably one of the most inconsistent players in el tri. He's giving balls away left and right, as does Arce.

I think Hugo needs to give Landin more playing time. I mean seriously, he puts in Bravo who has shown nothing in both Copa America and the Gold Cup. He scores two goals, but nothing spectacular, both goals were a given and had he missed them, he'd deserve to hanged.

 

what? cuatemoc should have been gone a long time ago. torrado was arguably the second or third best player int the tournament for mexico.bravo scored 3 goals in 3 apperances. Landin hasnt proved anything yet to be starting over bravo. maybe by the end of next season we will know what landin is capable of since he will be a starter in morelia

 

Olympics a big tourney? It's not even Fifa sanctioned.

 

yea I know, but he plays good
is he full Brazillian? or just half?

 

Correa and Pinto are defenetly in!!!

Bofo and El Venado are out!!!

 

What about Memo? no one even metioned the guy...........

 

I think that he's pretty much set in stone....or at least thats what we can all hope for.

Ochoa
Salcido
Correa
Pinto
Marquez
Torrado
Guardado
Arce
Nery
Bravo
Maza

Otra vez con lo mismo? According to the Mexican Constitution he is Mexican,
weather you like it or not.

 

He is Mexican by Naturalization. Born in Brazil

 

He's also 47.

 

Nigeria had older players on their U-20 squad, so I guess he can still play...... but not for mexico..........
