Cuauhtémoc Blanco's celebration, after scoring the match winner against Honduras, said it all; I am still here. The Tricolor icon placed two fingers infront of his mouth and pretended to smoke. The gesture was to refrence the chain smoking former Tricolor coach Ricardo Antonio Lavolpe who had robbed Temoc out of participating in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Now, at 36 years of age the volatile striker was catapulting Mexico to second place in the CONCACAF Hexagonal with a well placed penalty kick shot. A significant goal that not put an end to the belief that Temoc's time with the national team had come and gone but assured that the Tricolor icon gets to play in another World Cup before he hangs his boots.
