Estoy convencido que al porvenir, Mexico estara en muy buena posicion para destacar, no solo en el siguiente mundial, si no [...]

After a month-long feast of the beautiful game, the world cup will culminate with a rematch of the fantastic Euro 2000 Final between France and Italy. If I said that one team used a strong defense, bruising midfielders, and an opportunistic attack to score goals, which team would I be describing? Most folks would say Italy, of course. But not this time. The French have tempered their usual attacking style with more defensive gameplans. It hasn’t been pretty, but it sure has worked. On the other hand, the Italians have played with great flair at times, and their ability to shut down attacks was elevated to an art form, exemplified by their virtuoso performance in the semi-finals.

Armando Archundia has been lauded by the world press for his performance in yesterday’s semi final tilt. It was apparent from the beginning that Archundia was going to let the players get physical in pursuit of the ball. He was very selective with his cautions, as he only showed the yellow to those [...]

The CD Guadalajara front office will announce next week that Carlos Salcido will be transferred to Europe. Teams from Spain and England are thought to be the front runners.
This is great news for Salcido and Mexico. I personally hope he goes to play in Spain. La liga has more varied [...]

We’ve had time to lick our wounds, shed a few tears, badmouth the bad plays, imagine the what ifs, compose ourselves, and now move on.

The last time Argentina and Mexico played in the world cup, it was the first world cup. Argentina defeated Mexico 6-3 in Uruguay 1930. But their history does not end there.

It’s interesting that the majority of foreigners playing in Mexico hail from Argentina. I can only remember so far back, but guys like Norberto Outes, etc. lit up the liga mexicana with their dazzling play and scoring ability. Before I knew better, I could never figure out why he would never play [...]

Mexico is catching a huge break as it looks more and more that big Fil is going to indeed sit his yellows, but it doesn’t diminish the fact that Mexico needs to play well to advance. I hope we don’t have to rely on the Iranians for a result. Nevertheless, Mexico does seem [...]

It appears that the best scenario will be for Portugal to win, thus knocking Iran out, and sending Portugal to the next round.
A tie would add Iran to the mix for the last spot, and an Iran victory would make things very interesting indeed.
