So Mexico did lose on Wednesday after all as I mentioned briefly in my previous post.

Now, before people start to call for Sven Goran Eriksson's head, let me remind them of one minor detail: it's a meaningless friendly he lost.

Meaningless in terms of result and impact of the loss. Click to continue reading...

Well, I almost wish still kicking had not invited me to write the blog while he is enjoying his weekend, because, at the end of it all there were very few positives to write about. Really, there was nothing in this game that hasn't been in a number of other road games. Poor defending, rash challenges, ineffective passing, inadequate attacking were all features of this 2-0 loss to Kansas City. Click to continue reading...

Jamaica have sacked their national technical director René Simoes following bleak results in the CONCACAF Third Round in a bid to qualify for the prestigious World Cup finals in 2010. Defeats to Mexico and Honduras during the past week condemned Jamaica to the bottom place in Group 2, leaving the Reggae Boyz with only minimal chance of advancing to the final qualification stage.

I spent quite a bit of time last night, searching the web for relevant information on Cuauhtemoc Blanco. I fell asleep mid-story and woke up early this morning to finish it, early as in before 5.

So read it!

It's a bit of a tribute to Cuauhtemoc Blanco for SI.com.

The best part of the story I think is the links to various video clips. Click to continue reading...

Mexico is reasserting itself as the dominant CONCACAF power. Last night's 2-1 win over Canada in Chiapas saw Mexico once again mix the old and the new as far as player selection.

Canada is in serious trouble.

There is no other way to put it after the Canadian national team dropped a 2-1 result against Honduras in Montreal on Saturday night. The loss left Canada with just one point from two home qualifiers in what is easily the toughest group in CONCACAF.

Ante un lleno total como nos lo muestra la fotografia del majestuoso estadio Azteca, los mexicanos asestaron tres buenos goles ante una Jamaica bajo cero.

Nadie tiene dudas sobre la falta de gol que sufre históricamente la selección mexicana (generalmente en los momentos más importantes), y ahora esa falta de contundencia parece haberse pasado a nuestros delanteros, en lo que va de la era Eriksson (ni se diga de lo que sucedió con Hugo Sánchez como DT).
