Poor Mexico.

[Mac 10 †]

Mexico need to be at their best or it's bye-bye

[rik]

Mexico will win this game or else

[Javier]

Have any of you guys been paying attention to Mexico's LB Carlos Salcido?  I think he's Mexico's next successful export to European football.

mexico gonna get that ass tapped.... bad

[Meho]

Argentina no doubt. Its gonna be only 1:0 though

[Lo Flya]

I think Angentina will win this, but I guess anything can happen in sudden death matches

If history means anything.

These teams have played 14 times together.

Arg won 5, Mex won 2, with 7 Draws as well.

The last two times they played was last year, both ended in draws.

Arg gets the ball around so well. Riquelme is great at that.

For mexico to win, they need an offense. The last two games they've had the advantages, but haven't been able to capitalize. If they get the oppurtunities, they have to get goals. My hopes are for them to draw out, and penalty shoot out...

I see it close, if Mexico shows up, it's a draw... if they don't, Arg wins by 2 goals.

Well, It's On. Argentina and Mexico are Central/South American Rivals. These two teams know each other. They should be familiar with each other styles right from the start.

Good Note for Mexico.

Jared Borgetti will play against Argentina. I hope he's truly 100%. On monday, six days ago, they did an MRI and it showed his muscle wasn't healed... so he didn't play portugal... doctor said the extra rest allowed his leg to heal. I'm not a doctor, but if six days ago his leg wasn't suited to play, how can two days magically prepare it. Oh well, Mexico needs scorers.

When Borgetti was asked about Argentina, he replied.

"Argentina? Oh, it's a beautiful country."

he then went on to say that "Argentina is a rival of ours... a rival we can (and have) beat"

So, let the game be on... I don't think it's going to be a one sided game, and I hope not... I love good games. Anyway

OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE!

About 1 hour and a half til the whistle blows.

Go Mexico!

I'm afraid it won't help. Even Argentina's most awful pass in the wrong direction looks wonderful. I really feel sorry for Mexico.
