Another plus of you guys playing route one is that if they start Ochoa in goal, he is poor at judging when to come off his line.  The second goal they conceded a goal vs. Costa Rica that shows just that.  On the other hand, he is a pretty good shot blocker from distance but gives up a good amount of rebounds so hopefully you can take advantage of that, and he prefers to punch than catch crosses that are near him because of his lack of height.


I believe their other goalkeeper, Corona, is more talented but he's been out of favor due to Ochoa's club form, which hasn't really translated to his NT play.  He also had a calamitous error vs. the U.S. where they conceded on a corner.
