The Road To Brazil 2014 via Wellington feat. Mexico

http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1930099&s=mundial&type=story

Victor Vucetich, Mexico manager, says ON ESPN that they are already in the WC,  that the worst part went out, and that he is already thinking in the next 5, 6 months to prepare the team for Brazil,    Arrogance and lack of profesionalism at first sight

Do you know Spanish, right? Vos hablás castellano perfectamente, ¿verdad? Pues no parece.

He said "Right now our priority is the game against NZ, then (if we advance) we could have 6 months to get ready".

Again, most of your posts have been just a bunch of bollocks.

What some Mexicans have to say, in English mostly.

Interesting read for the most part

9 pages and counting

Mexican team and their football fans of Mexico plus their sport media are so arrogant with the minnows, but when they face Brazil, Holland, Argentina, Portugal, even Japan and even Australia now they shit their pants. 

They want to be "americans" and they try to emulate the american way of life, but as my french family side says in français " n'avez pas le pinet" which means " dont have the pedigree, style nor class or grace" to be americans.

In the current squad of Mexico they have 3 argentinians, just dont know about some brazilians, but the 3 of them are over 32, 32 and 34 and the 3 of them are attacking midfielders.  Christian Gimenez, Lucas Lobos and Demian Alvarez. 

Now it is heard that they will play with a different team the play-off vs NZ.  At home they will use a local based team from Mexico DF from the America football club team, and the away leg they may go with the european based players.  So they will compete with 2 different squads, one that is use to the heat, the height and humidity, and the other one that is uses to the cold, windy weather of Wellington.  If that is not cheating?   That was said today on ESPN

Only about 8 overseas players thatve been used of late though

That Classic Argentine Inferiority Complex.

If they use two dramatically different teams for the away and home legs, then surely it would be an advantage to us, not a disadvantage. Team cohesion and chemistry would be all over the place.

Jajaja very funny Javier, your words  sounds bitter and with some kind of resentment to mexico, at first you should not generalize. saying garbage like we want to be americans but don't have the " pedigree" jajaja let me refresh or teach you some lessons of history, if Mexico has enmity with any country this must be USA, not only in futbol, historically too. 

I think class, grace, and style it's not exactly the definition of USA, but that's  my opinion. Like you are a bootlicker, upset with mexico for mysterious reasons. I have many argentineans friends that work respectably and very gratefull to be here in mexico, most of all are waiters (cos' i have a restaurant) absolutely brilliants, you are not the reflection of Argentina, or any country of south america.

Another American checking in and jumping the All Whites bandwagon.  As others have said, Mexico are not what they once were.  On paper they are somewhat scary but they are toothless and lack confidence.  You can certainly get a draw at Azteca, but I'd prefer you just beat them ;)

Anyway, best of luck, an entire second nation will be behind you!

This thread is taking on a non-footballing dynamism all of its own. Arriba!

IF I win LottoDiv1 alone, a few lucky All Whites fans will be going to Mexico - IF I win Lotto Div1 alone! I'd love to go there and experience the sort of atmosphere you can get at an historic venue.

Lol at this from that Mexican forum 

Kiwis -- don't listen to what the spazzos from Big Soccer here are saying, especially the ignorant garbage that that dumb Argentine has been barking about for the last couple of pages, the dude can barley converse in English lol.

The best way to get a result is to just park the bus like the US and the other CONCACAF minnows do. Sadly, it works every time.

They looked shakey at times at back to aerial balls against USA so maybe Wood and Rory will do some damge...bring back route 1

That Mexico forum is a laugh.

Some suggesting we are complete rubbish, some suggesting we are amazing because we drew with Italy.

fixed

Yeah I just noticed. I hope this guy is not argentinian. I have some Argie friends and they are pretty cool. I wonder if this guy got touched by a mexican growing up, that would explain it.

There's two ways to beat them away, and that's going route 1, or defending well and hitting on the counter on the flanks with someone like Rojas.  I assume you guys would be playing that way anyway in the first leg.

They aren't as small as years past, so though you should have a relative height advantage, they aren't as poor on set pieces in the air as would be expected...though if you have a freak athlete who can jump and manhandle people, they do have one CB who may be starting (Reyes) who weighs all of about 130 lbs. (59 kg).

B off Javier, this is about NZ

I quite like Javier's posts. 

Loving the international banter.... what's Spanish for Knitting Circle??

Looking forward to the game big time!!

Having missed the last home play off (was fortunate enough to watch the one in Bahrain live) I am so pumped we have got a big team like Mexico to play against.... and its the warm up for a stag do.

Good times!!
