well, that game gave Piojo more concerns than answers unfortunately.

looks like Herrera has won his place in the starting 11 unfortunately due to Montes injury. Gullit still looks tired and out of rythm, same as Chicharito. defense is non existent without Marquez.

game vs Portugal Piojo better utilize his starting 11 for the world cup, needs to see them at least once before the first match vs cameroon.

Confirmed line-up for tomorrow's friendly vs. Portugal...

----------------Corona-------------
-----Marquez--Maza--Moreno----
--Aguilar-------------------Layun--
---------------Vazquez-------------
---Herrera--------------Guardado-
--------Giovanni----Peralta-------

It was said that whoever started this game would start against Cameroon. We shall see. I wanted...

Ochoa > Corona
Reyes > Maza

I'd rather see Gullit Peña out there over Guardado but it looks like he's got nothing left in the tank after seeing so much activity this past year and fatigue has caught up with him at the worst time possible for the NT.

It's 5-3-2 formation with Vazquez being the lone CDM and Herrera & Guardado being the right and left CM's. Thing is when Bosnia applied a lot of pressure, Vazquez was overwhelmed by their 4 mids and that's where Herrera and Guardado need to track back.

Doesn't help that neither Aguilar nor Layun are known for their defensive prowess.

Mexico 0 - 1 Portugal

Mexico was the better team overall but lost in the end like always with a set piece. team looks very good physically but still lacking in attack and creative plays. defense is decent with Rafa. it looks like the midfield has been sorted out with Marquez playing more of a Sweeper role behind Gallito Vazquez with Herrera and Guardado supporting him on the wings.

unfortunately seems Gullit is still tired and missing Montes. I think Giovani will be paired up with Peralta although he seems to get lost in the games and Chicharito becoming the first sub to try to score vs tired defenders ala manchester united.

Memo Ochoa will be the starting GK in the WC. Third time is indeed the charm.


I'm real happy for him, he deserves it. It would have been a real injustice towards him to sit out a 3rd consecutive WC.

Yay, Memo! :keegan:

Corona's magic wore off last year. He is no better than Memo. Memo had another strong season with Ajaccio while Corona had several bad performances in apertura. Ochoa deserved the starting spot.
