With Carlos Vela out for a month, Javier Aguirre has a choice to make. His call-ups for Mexico's
next two qualifiers will be announced tomorrow, so will he opt for the tried and true... and tired?
Is he going to play it safe with someone he has already seen? Or will he take a chance on an
uncapped, but seriously talented youngster to fill the roster spot.

Javier Aguirre got a monkey off his back. After a struggle of a tournament which saw El Tri
struggle with the likes of Nicaragua and Panama and also need PKs to beat Costa Rica, the Mexican
"B" team triumphed today at Giants Stadium.
This same El Tri side didn't score a legitimate goal versus Nicaragua, a nation that was playing
in its first ever major international tournament for 85 minutes.

For several years now we've heard pundits proclaim Panama the next big thing in CONCACAF. The
Central Americans have certainly teased us: the development of Jorge Dely Valdes and Roberto Brown

La polémica no se detiene y a tres dÃas para que Panamá se enfrente a los Estados Unidos por los
cuartos de final de la Copa Oro, siguen las preguntas y especulaciones sobre cuál deberÃa ser el
equipo titular para este sábado.
La selección de Panamá realizó ayer sus dos entrenamientos en Nueva Jersey, a 30 minutos de
Filadelfia, donde los 23 jugadores trabajaron en aspectos técnico-tácticos como presión en
espacios reducidos y trabajos de definición por los volantes ofensivos y delantero, según
detalló ayer una nota de prensa por parte de la Fepafut.

I leave for a couple days and what madness happens...
The USMNT -- albeit a much different side than the one that rivaled Spain and Brazil -- needs a
last-second goal from Stuart Holden to beat Haiti (a country smaller than Hawaii).
And Mexico coach Javier Aguirre is kicking at opposing players?

On Sunday I went to the final round of matches in Group C at the University of Phoenix Stadium in
Glendale. It really is quite a facility. I've been there for three different sporting events (NFL
football, college basketball, and soccer), and I participated in a behind-the-scenes tour of the
stadium last year, so I've seen the UP stadium from a variety of perspectives.

Dejando de lado el mal momento por el que está pasando la selección mexicana debemos admitir
que solo en nuestra región se ven el tipo de cosas que hemos presenciado en el partido
México vs Panamá.
Me causa gracia ver que si tenemos que hacerle caso a la CONCACAF para algunas
cosas pero en otras nos cargan la mano como si fuéramos un equipo cualquiera, y eso que somos de
los "consentidos".

La Selección Mexicana debutó en la Copa de Oro con un pobre
triunfo de 2-0 ante Nicaragua, fue un encuentro lleno de aburrimiento con un
"Tricolor" que demostró muy poca personalidad y escaso talento.
México tuvo la posesión del balón pero eso no influyó para que el cuadro
"verde" generara llegadas de peligro, tanto Giovani Dos Santos como Miguel Sabah
fueron un desastre en el ataque, Carlos Vela no se pudo mostrar pues salió lastimado en
los primeros minutos.
