Bofo and Palermo 2005 Chivas Boca It’s the day after and of course that means tons of news surrounding the national team.

So what are the most important things that you should be informed about?

Perez says the team isn’t afraid of Argentina, Martin Palermo warns about the Mexican team, Chivas owner Jorge Vergara asks that ‘Bofo’ be included, and a politician has the idea of Aguirre explaining his tactics.

Oscar ‘Conejo’ Perez spoke out today, saying that the Mexican team isn’t afraid of Argentina and that El Tri has quality players as well.

“We have to play them one on one. We don’t have a reason to be afraid of them. We have people like Gio(Dos Santos), Chicharito, and Guille(Franco) that during one on ones can make a difference.

“(Facing Argentina) motivates us because they’re a great rival. We’re looking to change history; we’re 90 minutes from advancing and we have to play for everything.”

Argentine striker Martin Palermo advised on Mexican football, noting the progression of Mexican football.

“Mexican football has grown a lot. The growth can generally be seen. We’ll have to have enough precautions, precautions because of their potential. The most important thing is what we’ll do, what the Argentinian National team is doing.”

And Jorge Vergara suggests playing ‘Bofo’ against Argentina due to his performances against the Argentine club teams.

“More than revenge, it’s the moment to use strategy and tactics. ‘Bofo’ is respected and feared in Argentina after what happened with Boca Juniors. I think he would be a player that attracts marking and he’d be a useful distractions. I think the speed of the young players is an important element against the Argentines because if we’re slow, we’re going to be taken by the train.”

Vergara is alluding to ‘Bofo’s’ performance against Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores while at Chivas in 2005 and has history with Martin Palermo as both were sent off in a game.

Mexican legislator, Eric Rubio Barthel, suggested booking Javier Aguirre to speak to the chamber about his technical decisions against Uruguay.

In an interview with Tele Formula he said:

“Yes, I spoke about the necessity of Aguirre explaining his tactics, but I don’t think it’s feasible. As an official I ask the manager to give an explanation. We Mexicans need to know what he did.”

as an ardent Guadalajara supporter, that 4-0 beat-down at the Jalisco and the ensuring 0-0 lock-down at the Bombonera (which, by the way, was suspended after “fans” invaded the pitch and projectiles were thrown towards JJ Corona's goal, brought on by the frustration & impotence of Boca's players and manager) was one of the greatest moments in the club's history.

however, as much as i'm loyal to all things Chivas, i do not believe 'Bofo' Bautista is at the level to face Argentina – much less in the World Cup, in the knock out round. yes, he played incredibly against Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores… but that was 5 years ago. it's quite clear that he's no longer the same player he was then. so, in the best interest of El Tri and leaving partisan club support aside, i say no Bofo.

I prefer that Chicharito start instead of Guille Franco. Vela, if he is healthy, can start, but I would prefer Guardado up high and someone like Barrerra in the place of Juarez. Three up front: Chicharito, Guardado, Gio. Could it work? could Vela be placed somewhere in there to help? Who knows…

I say put in Michel, instead of Perez. If we are to go down, lets go down with our young guns. I know that politics dictate Perez must start forever, though.

1st of all this is 2010 and bofo and Martin had there chance. Conejo had his chance 8 years ago. leave it to memo and guardado this year. If anyone remembers germany 2006 then they know andres should have started all of those games. Aguirre been drinking mezcal 2 much. FRANCO SUCKS yes ppl he sucks. i would rather have a midget playing or a retard then him. DONT ARGUE!!! he fuckin sucks. If there was a MR.Santa i wish for this
Memo(it will b that ugly but lucky rabbit Perez)
osorio Maza Rafa salicdo
guardado torrado juarez
dos every santo possible chicharito y tu madre y Barrera(medina as sub)
dont try 2 make a time machine. Its theoretically impossible assholes. Play the young! play the best pendejos. If all fails Hugo Sanchez 2014 cabrones y me cago en tu madre argentina

it would be ideal in my opinion to start all the speedy youngsters in offense. the defense consisting of salcido, maza, rafa, and moreno (to replace osorio since hes slow). guardado, juarez, gio in the mid (torrado i feel never adds to the attack, playing the ball back to the defenders all the time). and three fowards with barrera, chicharito and el venado. didnt include vela since its not known if he'll be game fit for that match but i hope he is and if so i would prefer he start and have venado come in a a sub.

this line up or this line up with certain players in different positions can prove to be very successful. i hope aguirre really stops playing his favorites because with the likes of of cuah, torrado, franco, bofo and older players i feel your taking more of a chance with them than with the younger players. olders guys are not always going to perform like one would like them to. its a hit or miss with them, like throwing a knife in the dark hoping to hit your target.

we'll see what happens though….. one can only wish and hope
