what do you think of cuactemo blanco not being in the mexican team?

The name is Cuauhtemoc, and I think he is the one that has the best vision of what to do with the ball, he should be part of the Mexican team.

Blanco is a very rough player and very much the epitome of every thing soccer is not about...the dives and faking...but he is also a good player and deserves to represent his country if he has made it

No. He is a good player and would be certainly called up if he was from an other country. There are very good players in his position in Argentina like Riquelme , Aimar and Messi.\nI think he did a big mistake when moved to Bundesliga, good players should not play for small clubs.

Hopefully he's back in Uruguay reffing in a children's league or something.  With a little hard work, maybe he'll actually become a competent ref in time for WC 2018!\n\nopaalvarez: I'd love to see links to the international commentators singing this guy's praises, I watched the match on Univision (hispanic network) and those commentators sure weren't.

It's Bayern Munich's Karimi. He's awesome, hopefully he'll get back in shape after his injury. he's been out of commission for a few weeks. Also, it's too bad Iran doesn't have many other players that can help Karimi out. It's gonna be too bad for Iran in the WC cuz Karimi has to carry that team on his shoulders. It may be enough to beat unprepared teams, but I don't think he will be enough to beat Mexico nor Portugal.

**in the leage?? Saturnino Cardozo (toluca) from paraguay was the best in my opinion..\n**in the National team? I dont think there have been naturalized players other than from Brazil or Argentina

Well first of all, i like brazil and ronaldo.  He is definitly not fat, i dont know what the haters are talking about, but he seemed a bit out of shape. I am sure he will be fine, he was getting over a sinus problem, and he had blisters. I think he rushed himself to get onto the field to play, even if he wasn't 100% fit. He will be fine however and come back strong. He only needs 3 more goals to be the number one scorer in world cup history. As this is likely his last tournament, he isn't going to let that chance get away. Hopefully he can get back to form and come out with a good showing in the next game, or he may be permantly replaced by Robinho.

Here in Mexico there are two distinctly different schools of though.\n\nThe First one is: We sucked big-time against Angola and Portugal. Everybody on the team is screwing the pooch. As usual we scrape out of the qualifying by the skin of our teeth, only to crash out in flames during the second round. The Argies will murder us and burn the body! (Argentina 3-1)\n\nThe Second one is: La Volpe is remarkably calm and optimistic for such a nasty s.o.b. In fact He seems downright (and uncharacteristically) pleased with Mexico's awful performance! We do have a lot of skill and talent on this team. While undeserving of FIFAs high rating, we are just as undeserving of the low esteem that most international fans hold us. Could Ricardo La Volpe simply be "playing possum" with his old WC teammates? Getting ready to spring a major trap on the unsuspecting, over-confident and always arrogant Argies?\n(Mexico 3-2)\n\nIts only a few hours to see. Me, I'm going to be drinking a fair amount of Negra Modelo fearing the first option, hoping for the second!

Claudio Suarez of Mexico is 37 and part of the National Team upto this point. Mexico is working w/ a group of 26 and needs to cut 3 players by May 15. \n The final rosters need to be submitted to FIFA by this date.So, until then, we won't really know who is going to Germany, or much less, know who will be playing.

Freddy has played for the National Team in a frendly match, he was a sub late in the second half. The reason that he isn't on the National Team is beacuse he dosent the experience and as much skill (Yet!) to play at the WORLD CUP Level.

The truth is that they have stopped themselves.Lets remember they had problems in the qualification round of the World Cup.I agree that they have the players.They also have youth in the defense with Sergio Ramos, he gives them the speed they need.Don't forget about Xavi,He gives them organization and orchestrates the attack.Their problem has been scoring when they need to in the last few World Cups.Although Raul is one of my favorite players in the world,I have to say that he has not showed his skills in the last World Cup.This year I feel that he will play with a chip on his shoulder since he had been injured for so long.Also lets not forget about Morientes,he has made numerous clutch goals in the UEFA(AC Monocco,Real Madrid,and Liverpool).They will get through the group stage with no problem.Except they might play France in the 1st leg,Zidane in his last soccer event will give it his all and Henry is unstoppable.Still Spain holds their on destiny and if they get confident this World Cup,they will have the ability to beat just about any team.

my viewpoint on this is as you stated, America not qualifying for the liguilla is probably the best, why because that coach of them is one crazy hick, he said that this would be America's "time" when as you can see is not. Oh, and Cruz Azul will be champs. (im one of those crazy fans).

They can still finish second in their group and advance, since they are in such a weak group, with portugal being the only team I see that could defeat them.  However, without Blanco, it seems unlikely that they will win a knockout round match.

I have to disagree, the Mexican Team does not have what it takes (technique, mental game) to compete with Argentina. \n\nPortugal may give a surprise to Holland, but my best guess is that Argentina and Holland will cruise to the next stage.

He has only one goal in his world cup appearances. He is regarded as the best Mexican footballer.

Yes , i heard the mexican team were able to play.I will be watching them to see how good they are.Greece won Euro 2004 and not too many saw that coming.
