Zizinho Smash!

"What future do we have in Mexico, what is Mexico's future; people that are 50 years old or people like Jonathan that are young, what future does my son have there, my son is in the best club of the world which is Barcelona, how is it possible that he cannnot be with the Mexican national team at 20 years of age, this is why the Tricolor is the way it is," bawled a pissed off Zizinho Dos Santos after hearing that his youngest son Jonathan would not be part of Mexico's World Cup squad.

Interesting enough I had read Zizinho's reactions on Medio Tiempo's website and many of his supposed comments are no longer there. Zizinho sounded furious and claimed that Mexico did not exist (in the world of football) and even said that Tricolor head coach Javier Aguirre did not have any balls adding that assistant Mario Carillo is calling the Tricolors shots.

Last Chance

The match against Gambia is supposed to be Javier Aguirre's final test match before he decides which player he will leave out of the Mexican National Team. The main candidate comming into this match was Adolfo "Bofo" Bautista.

Bautista has already missed out in the previous two World Cup's and this could very well be his last chance to play at the world's biggest stage. The Chivas Guadalajara striker seemed poised to remain in the Tricolor and contributed to the teams 5-2 victory by socring two goals.

Tucanazo

When Daniel Guzman signed with Tigres UANL I was quite certain that he would turn the club's fortunes around in the same manner he had done with Santos Lugana. Well, I must admitt I was wrong as el Traviezo failed where many before him have.

I will go on record once again and claim that Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti has what it takes to make Tigres a successful club. The no nonsense attitude the Brazilian brings to the table is what Tigres seems to be lacking. The club has everything from support to quality players. All they need is a good ass kicking to get rid of the complacency that seems to plague the squad.
