Blanco exchanged jerseys with Nats in WC2002? I was just reading Connoly's article on USA/Mexico. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=266400&cc=5901 In it he says that Blanco was the only Mexican player who stayed on the field after the game to exchange jerseys. I hadn't previously realized this. Now I have two questions about this. 1. Who would have predicted that out of all the El Tri's players bad boy Cuauhtemoc would be the one to do the right thing? 2. Do you know who he exhanged with?
That reminds me of when Colombia defeated Argentine 5-0 in Buenos Aires to qualify for USA94'. After the match the ONLY player to exchange jerseys was Gabriel Omar Batistuta, with Leonel Alvarez. But then again Batigol was always a class act, unlike that sh!thead Blanco.
