Good match up for us, Chucho López will be playing for Guatemala, at a stadium he plays in with Club América.
México 3-0 Guatemala, final en el Estadio Azteca. Qué presentación tan vergonzosa, no jugaron ni con la mitad de un huevo. That man Carlos Gallardo should be banned from ever playing in the national team. This is nothing new he has always been bad yet he still gets called to the national team. He was pretty much responsible for all the goals conceded, almost scored an autogol, then committed a dirty foul. And everyone else to played with no motivation just lethargic.
The play leading up to the first goal was just a beautiful display of technical football (23rd minute), Puro baile. These FOX Deportes highlights unfortunately don't show the whole play.

Mexican coach Luis Fernando Tena has been confirmed as the new manager for the Guatemala senior national team.
FIFA has approved Rubio Rubín's switch of association and he can now officially play for the Guatemalan national team
Rubio Rubín could have scored a hat trick. That definitely was not an offside position. Offside goal at 9:20 min, Goals at 32' min and a clear foul inside the box against Rubio for the PK at 75:39 min.
Despite it potentially being to our detriment, I hope you manage to keep Quimi.. if the rumours are to be believed.
People are speculating that he may not longer want to play for Guatemala because he looked very frustrated during games and looked unhappy the whole time in Argentina. He was mostly having issues with the head coach. But then again, the USMNT is stacked with talent in his position and he may be stuck playing for Guatemala.
The father of Arquímides spoke out and said his son still wants to play for Guate but never under manager Rafael Loredo. This information is according to Guatemalan FA president Gerardo Paiz. Supposedly there was friction between Loredo and Quimi, including his father, who called Loredo an "idiot".
