Mexico rumbo a la Copa de Oro: Rumores y Noticias well... does anyone know how many more games we will play? I know we play El Salvador. Poland said they couldn play us before the Gold Cup. When are we suppose to play the 2 games against Spain?? before or after the Gold Cup
I forgot where I read it... but apparenlty Ramon morales will be out. So that means no Dulio Davino and no Ramon Morales... who should get the call?? I say give Beltran another chance at center back or Mascaro (Puebla). Cabrera, Alamaguer are still good players but old. Beltran and Mascorro are either 25 or younger. Morales... hmm who should replace him at left wing or mid (dpeneding the lineup)??? Medina plays the left. Parejita Lopez (but he is on the right, but can also play the left). Id like to see some of Cruz Azul's players on there... Ledesma, Campos, Gutierrez, Cacho
Palencia should get a call along with Cacho That would probably help us with our "gol" problem Tomas Campos should take over Ramons spot while he is out P.S. arent we playing Portugal? i also heard we were playing Nigeria
from what i hear... he was contemplating it.. but still wants to suit up.... i havent heard anything from his mouth... we will have to wait and see
Lavolpe has mentioned players that are going to be called up for the Gold Cup: From Cruz Azul: Conejo, Palencia, Melvin Brown, Zepeda From Pumas: Mariano Trujillo They hadn't been used yet because of their team's participation in Libertadores.

Nueva lista de convocados para la Copa Oro CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, México, jun. 17, 2003.- Se da a conocer la lista de jugadores convocados a la selección mexicana de futbol para concentrarse el lunes próximo en el Centro de Alto Rendimiento de cara a la Copa Oro. Todos deberán reportarse el lunes 23 a las 9:30 horas para entrenar a las 10:00 a.m. Llamó la atención la ausencia del delantero americanista Cuauhtémoc Blanco, quien no aparece en la lista de los convocados por el argentino, no obstante, Borgetti es de los hombres que más destacan en la ofensiva del 'Tri'. Aparece nuevamente en la lista de la selección el nombre de Oscar Pérez, quien había estado ausente en las últimas convocatorias. Rafael Márquez sigue al tanto de la selección y también conforma el listado de La Volpe. Miguel Zepeda también reaparece en la lista, luego de que en convocatorias anteriores no pudo presentarse con el argentino La Volpe por su apretada agenda con el equipo de Cruz Azul. A continuación la lista completa de los seleccionados por Ricardo La Volpe: JUGADORES CONVOCADOS POR RICARDO LA VOLPE Nombre Posición Club Oswaldo Sánchez Portero Guadalajara Óscar Pérez Portero Cruz Azul Salvador Carmona Defensa Toluca Omar Briceño Defensa Tigres Mario Méndez Defensa Atlas Melvin Brown Defensa Cruz Azul Ricardo Osorio Defensa Cruz Azul Rafael Márquez Lugo Defensa Mónaco Pável Pardo Medio América Mariano Trujillo Medio Pumas Octavio Valdez Defensa Toluca Eduardo Rergis Medio Atlante Juan Pablo Rodríguez Medio Atlas Rafael García Medio Toluca Fernando Salazar Medio Atlas Luis Erntesto Pérez Medio Monterrey Jesús Arellano Medio Monterrey Miguel Zepeda Medio Cruz Azul Jared Borgetti Delantero Santos Omar Bravo Delantero Guadalajara Daniel Osorno Delantero Atlas Irving Rubirosa Delantero Atlante WHERE THE HELL IS PITI ALTAMIRANO AND BAUTISTA?!?!?! WHERES PAREJITA LOPEZ AND JUAN CARLOS CACHO?! WHAT THE F\/CK IS OSORNO, JPR, AND RAFAEL GARCIA DOING IN THAT LIST?!
Get rid of borgetti and get bautista in there i am tired of watching borgetti have so many chances to score and misses most of them. This team needs someone who could score that should be the number one goal!
Yes, cause Borguetti has only scored goals in many key games for Mexico. WC qualifiers, WC, Copa America, etc. If someone has to be rid of is Daniel Osorno, who doesn't even start for Atlas anymore.
I know borguetti has scored many goals i danced like travolta when he made that header against Italy, but its time for some new blood in the front. I love Blanco but he is more suited playing like an attacking mid, bautista seems like he could become a great player. He is young and has some fresh legs. I agree with you that Osorno does not belong here. Palencia was playing great in the libertadores maybe he should be given a chance again.
Its time for good players more than new blood. There is more than enough room for Borguetti. He has been better than Bravo and any other forward that Lavolpe has called. Bofo should be given a chance but in another forward spot. After Borguetti, Bofo and maybe Bravos, the only that seems good is Cacho. Palencia has never played as well for the Tri as in Azul and if Blanco didn't "fit "with Lavolpe, Paco will do less.
Marquez is back in Monaco after signing with Barça, and though he has two more games to serve undressed he'll head back for Copa Oro this week. Would only play from quarter finals onwards. Then if Mexico makes the final he'd join the Barça US tour after the 22nd.
Well I wish we had Marquez, Davino and Carmona to play aganist Brazil... they're (to me) the most important men on the team, also Ramon Morales and Pavel Pardo are important, but no, Davino and Morales are injured, Marquez is suspended... I just hope the guys remember they're playing for Mexico, they need to leave everything on the field give all their effort and even more if if needed... I was very dissapointed to see the game v.s El Salvador, the players showed no backbone, it was really really sad. I trust Lavolpe, tho I don't like most of the players who are part of the national team right now, some of them don't have the talent to be there, hope he realises that soon, and start looking elsewhere to find those players he needs (Cacho,A.Galindo,Luna, Blanco,Diego Martinez, J.A Castro, and the list goes on and on, players who in my opinion, deserve to be on the team) No se que más necesiten, pero los que estan para jugar la Copa de Oro, aunque no sean ningunos cracks, deben de dar todo su esfuerzo, morirse en la cancha...si no pueden hacer eso, entonces si...ya valimos.
Mexico - Brazil [R] Mexico wins in an ugly win. 1-0.....with a beautiful goal by Borghetti. What did you guys think of the lineup and each individual player?
good game for mexico, with little they have in 2003 vs 2002.... more experience players made the mark as needed vs unlucky brazilerios they hit the post (tiago) and nilmar showed very little in the middle of the forwards...... he is better at the local liga..... diego could not do it all by himself... where was Kaka... that grp needs more work that lavolpes grp.... la tribuna chanted the name of hugo, hugoooo and 4 minutes later they were chanting a beautiful goal by the best mexico has to offer today : JARED, hey do not get me wrong, I like patino (america, not ther today) and I admire a whole lot arellano osorno came from the bench to save lavolpes arseees again!
There are so many players in this Lavolpe team that are not NT material (Chiquis, Zepeda, Juan Pablo, Octavio Valdés, Bravo, Osorno - yes, even though he basically created the goal). On the positive side, the defense seems to be OK, but we had no creativity on attack. Arellano was lost, and lately he's the only one capable of creating danger.
