Todos sabíamos que este partido seria el que definiría el grupo, así que no hay por que preocuparse. México ya viene con la mentalidad desde antes de ganar este partido y así serán las cosas. 9 PUNTOS
It was exactly what I expected, especially with their previous game. Wait for a counter, tons of pressure/fouls. Ref did us no favors by waiting an hour to hand out a yellow card.
Dr. Jekyll: Man, we have a Swedish team coming with everything at us; and we have Moreno and Herrera with yellows, while Lozano and Vela are beat up. Mr Hyde: So what? You want sunshine and rainbows all the way to the final? Think you are the only one with problems? Man up, you play the game, and beat a beaten up and tired Swedish team--winning the group.
I’m more worried about how our guys will come out Wednesday than I am about Sweden Sweden is pretty solid defensively but are slow and rather disorganized on the attack So as long as our guys come out with like they have been these past two games and we will be fine As I previously stated, we can’t be careless like we were in the 2nd half against Korea today
Quick initial thoughts: Good- We have a very good chance of winning the group Perfect group record is in play By having to come out and win, we don't take our foot off the gas leading up to the knock-up rounds Bad- 3 days rest Long trip Sweden plays a 442. Does this mean we finally see the 343 Diamond shape with a lot of changes to the team?
Sub him for Herrera. Osorio has a very easy game, tactically, coming. Sweeden is going to attack and open up. You have to design the team for counters and solid at back. Vela and especially Lozano should be primed to do major damage with the speed game.
As always with these bunker teams you need to score first. If you allow them to get a lead be prepared for a long battle, but if you happen to score first. Get ready to feast
Lol, so funny how Cheech has evolved over the past few years.. from a “santito” muy persinado to a guy who seems like he gives no shits about anything anymore.. i like it.. welcome to the dark side cheech
Carlos Salcedo was a boss against SK and Germany. Edson had so many iffy moments so I'd rather have Ayala on and Salcedo as RB. ----------------Ochoa---------- Salcedo-Ayala-Moreno-Gallardo Jona--HH-Guardado-Lozano- --------Vela----Cheech---------- I know this isn't 2016/17 but Jona played pretty well as a RM at Villareal.
If we finish first, our R16 game would be tuesday, july 3rd, right? And if we win the r16? Would we face the winner of brazil/germany o que pedo?
Otros equipos en otros grupos se han dado el lujo de perder y empatar un partido y siguen con posibilidades. Nosotros ganando dos y uno de ellos ante el campeón del mundo, y estamos de cara a un partido de matar o morir. Espero que no pierdan porque conociendo a los medios de comunicación y prensa, van a matar a los de esta generación cuando no se lo merecen, son los que han ido picando piedra en Europa e intentando cambiar la mentalidad del jugador mexicano. Es un partido muy bravo, Suecia no se va a volver loco, no va a atacar desde el primer minuto. Va a trabajar el partido, Berg y Toivonen trabajan muy bien de espaldas. Retienen bien y consiguen faltas a favor. Forsberg es un experto cobrando a balón parado y será peligrosa cada falta que hagan cerca del área. Todos los suecos son gigantes, tienen más estatura que Alemania incluso. Es un partido donde el que marque primero va a ganar. Así como el de Croacia, nosotros marcamos primero y ganamos. Complicado escenario.
Otra cosa que no me gustó nada. Herrera y Moreno tienen amarilla. Contra Suecia el partido será matar a o morir, jugarán al 100%. Si les sacan amarilla, y pasamos a 8vos, no van a jugar. Moreno es nuestro mejor defensa y más experimentado y Héctor es el mejor futbolista que México tiene. Repito, se dió el peor escenario. En gran parte por los pesimos cambios de Rafa y Gio.
It's all about scoring first. If we do then we'll have a 1-goal cushion given that a tie still sends us through in first. And considering Sweden's impotent offence, I'd like our chances if we open the scoring. Now if they score.... start lighting your Virgen de Guadalupe candles.
Estos vikingos ya tienen fama arruinando fiestas. Hay que recordar que eliminaron a Argentina en el 2002 en fase de grupos, Argentina había sido #1 en Sudamerica y traía una gran generación: Mucho cuidado con estos vikingos.
