Wednesday March 19 The national teams of Mexico and Bolivia will meet in a friendly at Texas Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys). It has been reported that 25,000 tickets have already been sold.
with the exception of jose alfredo castillo, ronald raldes and hopefully joselito vaca, many of these players will not see much time with the WC qualifying games..so essentially it is a bolivia "C" team? which is pretty bad.. if the "A" team is still last in CONMEBOL.
they expect 40 thou. for the game time telemundo will have the broadcast, ala cantor/Longo yeah they are all mexicans and 1009 bolivians from the area..... the record was 27thou for a game last year mexico vs south africa - at the other stadium in the city of dallas, a double header with MLS's burn. record to see national teams in pre-season at dallas. I hope the surface does not tarnish the futbol nite or many ankles!
I'm glad the younger guys get exposure and experience and all, but why are we so disorganized? I realize Trucco leaving messed things up. But we had minimal training in the weeks leading up to the game and the playing surface totally surprised the team. Listening to Cantor and Longo was embarrassing. It was like a shooting gallery for the mexicans. The assclowns at the FBF should be ashamed.
Bolivia lost 2-0 I only saw the first 40 minutes because Telemundo broke into the game for the Iraqi war coverage. Just as well, they looked lost. The astroturf surprised them and they had no offense. Vaca did not start. Castillo didn't move. He stayed up front the whole time. It looked like a team that had not trained together. I blame the FBF again for putting our boys in a position to get embarrased. Somebody needs to clean house up there and run the show correctly.
