    I'm woefully ignorant of most of the Mexican team. A lot of the players I do know are not on the roster (Blanco) or injured (Borgetti).

    Who can give me a quick run down on which players from El Tri I should keep an eye on during the game?

    Adolfo Bautista will be in a forward position, likely the withdrawn role that Blanco plays. He's got a shaved head and will probably wear the #10. Altamirano plays out wide and I don't know what number he'll wear.

    There are two starters from the World Cup team who will likely start tomorrow night. One is Jesus Arellano, #21 who will play the right midfield role he's occupied for some time. The other is Salvador Carmona, I think he wears #18 and is the tall guy who plays defense on the left.

    Omar Bravo and especially ALBERTO MEDINA- he will probably be wearing red shoes. This 19 yr old is looking really good, exciting style of play.

    Forgot about Jesus Arellano- runs the team, leads attack, a joy to watch.

    Omar Bravo is young and many think he should be a regular contributor on the national team soon. He's like 22 or 23 and has scored 10 goals in the MFL this year. Medina's good, but he's just 19 and played only 10-15 minutes against Brazil last week.

    Duilio Davino (he'll probably wear #5) is going to play libero, according to TV Azteca. He was on the 98 World Cup team but was not on 02.

    The keeper, Oswaldo Sanchez, is not too good. He leaves a lot of rebounds and makes bad decisions in goal. Azteca said he's starting.
