mexico got outplayed badly and still won

 

Its not Mexico's fault that Panama couldn't score. Mexico did what they were supposed to and got the win.

Even though Mexico is playing bad im not too nervous. I got a feeling that against Costa Rica we will regain our level.

 

At least we have fans, your pathetic ones dont even come to support your lame team .

 

How many millions of US citizens have had to illegally strike up residence in Mexico to simply survive? When Mexico can sustain it's own citizens above the squalid, wretchedness of complete poverty feel free to post about our country. How are those Guatemalan and Honduran illegals you so freely admit doing? Got their amnesty papers ready yet? They're just there doing jobs regular Mexicans won't do right? They're simply hard working folks! Amnesty NOW! If you don't support free citizenship for all Guatemalans, Hondurans and El Salvadorans you're simply racist!

Mexico is simply a nation of hypocrites. Their soccer team is shite to boot.

 

At least our fans don't start OLE'ing for the opponents in our national soccer stadium. Or live in another country.

 

If Deleted by mod.

 

This thread is rapidly going to the manure pile.

Mexi trolls, GO AWAY.

US fans, stop baiting the trolls.

Back to GC stuff -- we should beat Panama, and then facing the winner of Canada/Guat shouldn't be much trouble either. Our path to the final is not bad at all.

The other side of the draw is going to be a dogfight -- CRC v MEX features a couple teams that have both been playing way below where they should be. And Honduras (after they crush Guadeloupe) is waiting for the winner!

I bet we see Guevara and co. in the final.

 

Transfermarkt has it at €5.25M.

But it does have Rafa Marquez valued (a subjective valuation) at €16M.

BTW, I made a little pun in the original post. Suazo's transfer involved a young Inter/Treviso striker Robert Acquafresca (aka fresh water ... haha) going to Cagliari. (in addition to €10M)

Acquafresca is supposed to be a very promising young talent with 12 goals for Treviso in Serie B. (actually 10, according to the Eurosport stats but the guy is only 19)

PS. After Marquez, the highest valued Mexican star is probably Giovanni Dos Santos.

 

You guys who post this derogatory bullshit are f'ing losers. Next life when you're born in a tough situation I don't want you crying like little bitches. You don't know the kinds of shit Mexicans have to put up with in their own country, not county how "Americans" exploit them. For all that, Mexican's are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Take a trip to Mexico City and see if I'm lying. The only donkey crap around here is people who don't have compassion for their fellow brothers.

Why do you let "people" cloud your minds so...

Yeah mexico looked terrible today and I'm sorry we didn't get them as I think they're a little disjointed now and lack confidence. They did play good from about the 20 minute till the end of the first hald and then they regressed.
Panama looks dangerous, hope we don't underestimate them.

 

There is a lot of hate in our beautiful game isn't there?

Pity.

 

Did you watch the Guatemala game? That (along with the referee) was the most negative soccer that killed any ability to do anything. El Salvador is not a great team but we demolished them 4-0 and completely dominated all but about 15-20 minutes and even then gave up no really good chances. I'm not sure what you want... complete domination for 90 minutes with no real chances on goal?
Realisitically, we haven't been our best but "blown chunks" is really your unfair expectations coloring your perception heavily.

 

Seriously. 13-0 blow-outs only occur in UEFA and, occasionally, when playing one of the Carribean island teams that never qualifies for the Gold Cup. CONCACAF refs and field conditions (even in the US playing on fields not designed for soccer) conspire to keep the scores low. When was the last time an in-form Mexico beat anyone 10-0?

 

From memory, I think their first-round series in qualifying for WC2006 was something like 10-0 and 8-0 over Dominica. Of course, Dominica's home game was in Texas.

(And yes, that's not even the Domincan Republic. It's Dominica. Smaller and apparently much crappier than a country that only gets a piece of one island.)

 

What he said... beat me to it.

I've just cleaned up the thread of the rubbish regarding politics and race -- and if it happens again, the thread will be closed AND there will be yellow cards and forum bans handed out, I guarantee it.

 

and cost themselves a couple players for their next game (vs the US). Up until then it was hard luck night but they knew they were through. Once they started getting cards they really blew it.

(I only saw the first half so I can't comment on how deserved the cards were but missing a knockout game is foolish move anyway you slice it)

 

Well said.

 

Excellent point. Those two have been a force so far.

 

Hey, im mexican but i wasn't trolling. All i said was that mexico played bad but took advantage of their chances.

BTW, i dont know what i want. It's either USA to get eliminated right away, or for them not to get eliminated and hopefully Mexico eliminates themm in the Final.

I have tickets for the final and it just wouldnt be the same having a Mexico vs Panama final or Mexico vs Guadalupe final instead of a Mexico vs USA final.

 

Had Telefutura sports on - the nearly universal comment from Mexico's fans is "victorious but not impressive".

I don't think Hugo is on a hot seat yet but he needs to deliver results in both tournament to feel relief.

 

sanchez has far more media criticism than bradley, or any usa manager could ever get....

still, mexico has such a depth of talent, it'd take massive blunders for sanchez to get the can this year...

the earliest would be wcq itelf, get off to a slow start in the hex, and he could get axed there...

mexico has been going thru the motions thus far, but i do suggest they will get far more motivated now the elimination phase is here....

guatemala is no test....i do think a rematch with honduras will motivate them, and with usa looming, their minds will be on their game....

 

Shouldn't the depth of talent make it MORE likely that he get fired sooner rather than an excuse to keep him around? Perhaps I just don't follow your logic...

 

is the mexican federation trigger happy??

i thought costa rica, t&t and any other concacaf nation fired a coach when the QUALIFYING campaign started off poorly...

i'd use the same criteria for mexico...

still. I would NOT count mexico out of copa oro nor copa america...

 

Yes.....I remember back in 1995 when we got one of their coaches fired for losing to us 4-0 in the Nike US Cup...just in case I'm remembering it wrong, it might also have been about a month later when we eliminated them from the CA. I'm pretty sure that it was after the 4-0 win though, because I remember we got Argentina's coach fired when they were bounced out of CA too (you could say Brazil did it if you want, but if they hadn't lost to us 3-0 then they wouldn't have had to play Brazil so early).

I'd say it's almost guaranteed that if they don't at least make the final of the Gold Cup AND play better (and advance deep enough...at least QF, ie 2nd rd) in the Copa America than they have so far in this Gold Cup then Hugo will be gone.

 

this is hugo sanchez....mexican god, best player ever for them....
