Happy Birthday, Mr. Eriksson…

So as you may or may not have known, today is Svenny’s 61st birthday! The Swede was born on February 5, 1948 in Sunne, Sweden.

Here’s to more success with the Mexican national team with hopes that we beat the U.S. and qualify for the World Cup 2010.

What could the number 5 ranked manager of all time possibly wish for on a day like this? Oh the possibilities…

But as a birthday present from Eriksson the guys called up to play have been given a two days free time. Make of that what you will.

Sven’s next stop after the US game? A game against Bolivia on March 11 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
