In the wake of Fridays World Cup draw, Spanish language social media is a buzz with fantastic and unrealistic scenarios where Mexico cruises to the knock out round of the World Cup.
Playing against the host nation is never easy and Mexico has experience in these kind of matches,
of the institutional kind of course.
we can't forget the last minute header by Marquez that silenced the vuvuzelas of Bafana Bafana and started the world cup with a 1-1 tie, Mexico hosted 2 of these parties and tied the Soviets in 1970 and defeated Belgium 2 -1 in 1986.
At the end of the day Brazil is Brazil and they will face the weakest Mexico side in memory, a side that allowed 3 goal to New Zealand will be a tested by the powerhouse trying to put on a show.
Basically, Mexico has not delivered in CONCACAF qualifying and I don't believe they will find it form in six months.
Im going Denis Green here Mexico is who we
think they are, and If they want to crown them, Crown them. Brazil indeed will not let them off the hook.
Facing Cameroon might be the hardest matchup in my opinion with a side that could overpower the Mexican back line with speed and heading ability, I don't see how Maza and Marquez keep the Africans from scoring, Mexico will have to find the net at least twice if the ambitious fans are to be satisfied
#Mexico #Brazil
