[Sando prince]

every four years is the same story with Mexico..dey does beat up the average teams around the world, but when world cup season come dey cannot find themselves against BIG teams like England and Holland..

[kicker]

Waay...Mexico playing practice games at the rate of a U-14 sec school side in de Summer holidays....

CRC is leading 1-0 with 15 mins into the First half. Here is the link http://atdhe.net/19711/watch-france-vs-costa-rica

[Andre DosSantos]

can you blame them. They want to get it right and get the mistakes out of the way instead of making them in the actual games. Jealous though, how come Trini can't get constant warm up matches like these.......

[dinho]

excellent finish for the 2nd goal by van persie but what Ochoa was doing on the first?

       I guess that should be expected when you don't have any competition in the CONCACAF region to elevate yourself,the same thing happens to the USA,the big teams does practice and play against each other all the time,that's why T&T can't get friendlies against any quality teams,when teams play friendlies they want to benefit from it.Mind you i find Mexico does quite well against those Big teams.    

[Andre DosSantos]

mexico may get that reply they are looking for if they keep pressuring. I am hoping Concaf may actually do well at this WC and surprise a few teams hopefully routing a good bit of them.

[onlikecorn]

in the last game against england, . . mexico created a good few chances buh fail to convert . . .showin the gap in class cuz when england get dey chance dey take it. . .3 times. . and well here in de 2nd half yuh seein some lack of killer instinct in de final third for mexico . .

[onlikecorn]

by the way . . .france 1 - 1 costa rica  right now. . (for anyone interested)

[Sando prince]

so none of alyuh feeling depressed watching all these international games knowing our country will be invisible this world cup season ?  

[Ngozi]

I actually liked the first goal better particular since it was his weaker foot and he had to jump for it ... I don't think Mexico does badly against these teams but I think it's weakness has been exposed and now they have a chance to fix it.... the weakness to the cross ball ... they're very poor against it ... crosses and headers across the face of the goal will trouble this team big time! England exposed it and now Holland... Van Persie is looking fresh good for him and Arsenal!

[onlikecorn]

Maradona's men run riot

Argentina said goodbye to their home fans before their World Cup trip with a 5-0 thrashing of Canada.

English-based duo Maxi Rodriguez and Carlos Tevez contributed goals for Argentina's win with a convincing performance despite their rivals' obvious weakness.

Liverpool midfielder Rodriguez gave the Albicelestes a two-goal lead before the 32nd minute. In the 16th he opened the scoring with a free-kick from the left side before Tevez assisted him to made it 2-0 from a counter-attack.

Eight minutes before half-time, Angel Di Maria widened the gap from outside the box with the left foot as his shot went in off the left post. In the 62nd minute, after a defensive mistake by Andre Hainault, Gonzalo Higuain assisted Tevez to beat keeper Pat Onstad.

Sergio Aguero replaced Tevez in the 70th minute and the Atletico Madrid forward only needed a few seconds to evade Richard Hastings and make it 5-0.

Diego Maradona left the Estadio Monumental Antonio Liberti in happy mood: "The guys understood we have no friendlies but international matches. We made our fans happy. We wanted to prove the players can do this and more. The Argentinian fans can be calm because we have good players.''

In the World Cup, Argentina were drawn in Group B alongside Nigeria, South Korea and Greece, while Canada are flying to Venezuela to play the Vinotinto in another friendly on Saturday.

If only he could stay fit for a whole season  . .then arsenal will be a force for sure. . .  even if it was the majority of the season . . but frig the man injury prone.  .

[Andre DosSantos]

1-1 at the half.

[Andre DosSantos]

I rather we stay home and get our house in proper order than going out and cause further embarrassment. WE have the time to prepare so we will see how it all the preparation and training goes.
