Nadie Sabe, Nadie Supo..



The alarm had been set long before the Tricolor set foot in San Pedro Sula; Mexico’s president Felipe Calderon has formally petitioned El Vasco Javier Aguirre to take over the failing National Teams reigns. At least that is what the radio announcer tells me in-between commercial breaks that leave me with more knowledge of Radio Shack sales than with what is going on in the world of football.

The Mexican national team’s “crisis”, which was conceived in the bullpens of the sensationalist football news outlets, has reached a new height. The Tricolor’s 3-1 loss to Honduras, at the Olympico Metropolitano stadium, extends their winless streak in official matches, away from the comfort of the Azteca stadium, to five games.

Never mind that the Tricolor is only three games into the Hexagonal; with two of those games being on the road against rivals that in the past ten years the team has not been able to beat, heads must roll. The reset button seems like a good choice, yet again, and the teams current failings can once again be swept under the FMF’s carpet.

    The current team displays the worst soccer of any past teams. At least before you could see some game out there, at least before when they put on that green jersey, they tried to sweat.
