Some players sat on the bench this weekend because of international duty midweek. Other players are just Nery Castillo.

Alright, so here’s the list of players that will battle it out in the last games for qualification to South Africa.

Giovani Dos Santos is missing because of injury. Jonathan didn’t make it on to the “big boy” team.
Arellano and Esqueda add themselves as well.

What a boring game. If you fell asleep, good for you. If you were unfortunate like me and watched the whole thing…that’s a good part of the day that could have been more productive. Watching the grass grow was about as exciting as this 0-0 snoozefest between Mexico and the Guatemala.
