No Gio? Injured?

Nery didn't get called up. Figures. We could have probably used him this time. Eh. At least Vela is back.

Good to have Marquez back as well.


Edit: I think the line-up will be something like this...


--------------------- Ochoa
Juarez---Marquez--Osorio---Salcido

---------- I. Castro --- Torrado
-----------------------------------Guardado
------Cuauhtemoc------ Vela
------------------- Sabah

 

[jimorrizon]

Mexico 4
salvador 1

G: OG, Blanco, Palencia and Vela

MoM: Blanco

Mexico is the 1st to qualify to the 2010 World Cup from the Concacaf zone....

 

[jimorrizon]

Mexico 2
tnt 2

FINAL: Esqueda and Salcido / MoM: Baptiste

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

I think that these palyers have a roster reservation for the WC at South Africa.

Gk's: Ochoa, Corona and maybe Cirilo Saucedo as the 3rd option.
CB's: Marquez, Magallon, Moreno, Salcido.
L/RB's: Juarez, Osorio, O.Rojas?
DM's: Torrado, Luna.
OM's: Guardado, Blanco.
Forwards: Vela, Dos Santos, Sabah.

I'm still not convinced on Israel Castro but he'll probably get the call-up over someone who I'd favor like Pavel Pardo. The same goes for Guille Franco because I honestly would like to see some other young strikers like Pablo Barrera or Omar Arellano.

 

[jimorrizon]

you can pretty much add Israel Castro and Guillermo Franco to your list and Gringo Castro. so there's like 3 or 4 spots left, up for grabs....

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Gringo Castro, now that's an interesting case...tell me something he does well besides marking and being a speedster, but the speed won't make up for his bad passing and and his horrible crosses, reasons enough for his departure from Coapa 2 tourneys ago.

 

[jimorrizon]

true but he is a player that Carrillo likes and seems that el Vasco has found ways of utilizing him in various formations....

 

[Bobby]

Antonio de Nigris passed away. RIP.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Tragic. RIP.

 

[vitu]

R.I.P De Nigris

Very professional player. I hope god gives enough strength to his family to make it through.

 

[Mexi]

RIP Antonio de Nigris. =[

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

RIP ''Tano'' De Nigris.

His younger brother (Aldo) has taken this tragedy as an inspiration/motivation towards his career since he's got 3 goals with Monterrey in these playoffs. Monterrey now has a chance to be crowned and it would be a great story if indeed the ''rayados'' come out victorious against Cruz Azul. The global score is 4-3...

 

[Arnau]

Jonathan world cup.

 

[jimorrizon]

all depends, what he shows this month according to Pep who then will decide if he stays for the rest of season with first team or returns to reserves....

 

[Teknowe]

I wasn't impressed with the role he played under Aguirre in his friendly against Colombia.

 

[taboof]

I think that Mexico can do very well on the next WC..That goalie Ochoa is the best I've ever seen...

Viva Mexico!

 

[kp41]

what happened to his brother? Is he still with Spurs?

 

[jimorrizon]

Giovani is still at Spurs unfortunately not getting much play time. he is only 20 years old and hasn't yet even played a whole season in a team. hopefuly he will find a team soon where he can settle and start his futbol career....
