Anyway taco... You re not talking a lot about mexico. Do you think they will make it through in the group stage?
And how well do you guys do generally when you face honduras? I guess it s a team you play often?
Who is your greatest rival by the way, USA or some central american country?
Fastposted i guess you partly answered.
I'm not talking about Mexico because it seems that they will suck badly. You know the story, during the qualifiers players didn't like the stern treatment by the coach, the moral was not good, there were 3 emergency coaches and the current coach had too little time to work. The best player we have, Vela, isn't going to the WC because of the treatment he received during the Gold Cup or America Cup I don't remember. The only other creative player we had, who was to be the 10 of the team broke his leg in a friendly. Two players from the local champion Leon are very tired, played 46 games for the league + cup + Copa Libertadores. The best striker we have, Oribe Peralta is not in his best these days.
So, I don't think we'll do good. Most likely we beat Camerun and lose to Brazil and Croatia. The players are potentially capable of winning the 3 games though, so I guess it'll all depend on how they feel in 4 days. Mexico plays very good vs Brazil all the time, somehow the fact that Brazil is offensive makes Mexico give his best games vs them.
All the centroamerican teams play vs Mexico as if it was a matter of life or death. They think Mexico feels like the last coke of the desert so they try to show us every time. So, any other team of the same level of Mexico shouldn't have as much trouble to beat them. But yes, Honduras and the US should be the strongest along with Mexico in the area.
