A few things: 2018 is not 2012, stop asking for tihat gold Cup line -up. Osorio himself said that we'd basically have the same line up we did against the Germans. IMO we'll see Gio or Aquino start against Korea and Tecatito as a sub. Rual and Perralta and Marquez start against Sweden.
On a side note, Disney might buy 21st century fox so that means that fox sports and fox deportes are going to be owned by Disney. Probably see espn deportes and fox deportes crossover
I hope they do, but if there is a game where we need to keep the ball on the ground with quick passes and moves, it's against Sweden. Tecate does not track back too much, I think Aquino does that better. Don't hate on Aquino, I know he falls short of Tecatito (IMO anyway). /p
I'm one of the few around here who like Aquino but it's so..... hard to get over his finishing. He is a complete liability when it comes to finishing.
Agree his finishing needs a lot of work. But I was envisioning Aquino vs Korea to save Tecatito against Sweden. I think Aquino could draw a PK. /p
pre injury Aquino was great bar the finishing of course but I'm not sure if I want him to play at all in the next games, he clearly wasn't at his best with Tigres.
Hey @Hugo Sanchez I'm back, sorry I missed your message last year, good to see you made some money on the Germany game. The last time I posted in here we lost 7-0 so I thought it was better I stayed away from BigSoccer Mex, but I have to come back this time. I'm living and watching the games in Mexico now. Anyway back to football, It's pretty hard selecting a final 11 out of this team. The way I see the attacking players in this squad is like this, you have three strikers competing for one position: Chicharito, Raul and Oribe. None of them are in great form, so I'm going to say just play Hernandez up front for the whole tournament. 90 minutes every game. He is one of the most energetic players, maybe the most energetic player in our whole squad, it's more efficient to sub off other players instead. He showed in the Germany game he will run and press the other teams defense right up until the end of the game. He also links up well with the other players, stretches the other teams defense and this provides opportunities to other players. Maybe if we give him enough time he can actually start scoring and stop fluffing easy chances and passes too. If he doesn't well we're ********ed anyway as I don't see Raul and Oribe scoring much with limited playing time, there's hardly any point playing those guys. We can't rely on Lozano to score all our goals. We're not going to do anything in this tournament if our striker can't score. Then you have Vela, Gio and Fabian competing for the number 10 role. Vela deserves to start but I'd like to see all three of them get a chance. I don't know who should be number two for this position yet. I do know that none of these players should play on the wings anymore considering the fast and talented players we have there: Lozano, Tecatito and Aquino. Osorio also has the option putting Layun and Jimenez there for their defensive capabilities. I thought Jimenez was practically invisible when he came on against the Germans, I don't want to see that again. I know he's 6,2, but I still would rather have an actual winger who is fast and can dribble with the ball. Aquino has shown he can track back and defend well too. I think we would have scored more goals that game if the player with the most chances in our team wasn't Layun. He had five shots at goal. Imagine if someone else had been given those chances. Finally, I don't want to see too many changes for the next game, this is the world cup and we have to take South Korea seriously, it seems crazy to me that people would drop the captain for that game in their line ups.Herrera and Guardado have to stay in midfield. I would also play Vela, Lozano and Hernandez again. I don't think this is the time to give Fabian, Gio or Aquino a start. I only want to see one or two changes up front. Maybe move Layun back into defense and put on Corona. We need to attack the Koreans and breakthrough their defence to win and we need to get our attacking players scoring more goals to do well in the tournament.

We’re good tomorrow guys! A Mexican fan came across the son of the Korean NT coach and made him put on a Cruz Azul jersey
Do people really think Peralta and Marquez could start against Sweden? Raul to start also seems unlikely.
Lol you guys have a short memory.. did you guys already forget the Germany/Chile thrashing’s in large part due to rotaciones... After 3 years of completely failed rotación experiments, why is everyone all of a sudden okay with making 4-5 changes?? Because of one win?? I’d say make at most 2 changes if not leave same starting 11
