john deacon barnes in his preview of the mexico v brazil game sunday going on about how it will be better than the greek fiasco, because they know each other so well and they both play attacking south american football.

spastic. mexico is in a different football federation to south america, it would be like saying england know the tunisians so well.

John Barnes is ace....my kid and I turn on to squirm at how bad he is at the talking head thing.....punditry he's tolerable.

 Steve Claridge is simply the worst TV summariser, especially when taliking about high grade football......on 5Live doing say Sheff Utd v Milwall he's good, because its a differnt requirement.

 I watched Mexico v States recently from the Azteca.....they won as they always do at altitude, but don't fancy them in Germany.

 Brazil have a huge array of talent.....its really a case of can they sort it all into a team pattern, if they do then they're the team to beat again.

i admit they are a jeckell and hyde team , in one week a couple of years ago i saw them beat brazil 1-0 at he azteca then lose to guatemala in guatemala city, however they have a very strong squad now and they have hatfuls of goals with fonseca and borgetti up front.

jared borgetti would do fantastic in the premiership, big and strong old school centre forward, and if you ever wonder why there are not more mexicans playing in europe it is due to the fact that the mexican domestic leauge pays huge wages almost premiership sizes.

There's only one way to beat them get round the back.

Legend. :advercool:

Hugo Sanchez is just about the only Mexican I can think of who's done well outside of the country......even someone like Cuauhtemoc Blanco struggled at Fiorentina.

Remember that Branca fella with his 'Kangaroo Hop' where, when faced with two defeneders, he would grip the ball between his feet and jump with it between them? That was cooler than an eskimo.

 That's Cuauhtemoc Blanco that I mentioned above.....Marco Branca did score a hat trick for Boro against us in about 98.....he was on loan from Inter and being marked by Craig taylor.

  Mexico were alright .......not the World Cup though.

[Mexicano Rojo]

alright? they made brazil look avaerage, think about the standard of  who they were playing.....ronaldiniho, robiniho, adriano, ze roberto, gilberto, etc.

[Reg Smeeton]

I'm not sure that Brazil were busting themselves to win this game...nevertheless Mexico were well organised and hard working.....which can carry you a long way in end of season tournaments. Still don't think they'll win the World Cup,

[Ben Wah Balls]

Mexico are a decent outside bet for the world cup at 81/1. I don't think anyone has a better team than England though but I doubt we'll win it.
