SANTA CLARA, Calif. — For 45 minutes it was nearly perfect. In that same time frame it all collapsed.
“When the opponent's No. 9 plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, their winger for Liverpool and the fullback for Juventus, obviously there’s going to be a point in the game they’re going to impose their level,” said Martino. “Those are the moments we have to sustain our composure, order and not commit mistakes.”
After Saturday’s win against Peru, Tata was all smiles and even making jokes in his postgame news conference. Tuesday’s tone was much different, argumentative and annoyed as he threw not-so-subliminal messages at former Mexican players converted into media members who constantly criticize. He also touched on problems with structure in Liga MX and how that affects the national team pool and players. While those are valid points, Martino looks to air out his many annoyances any chance he gets.
Mexico has two remaining exhibition matches before its World Cup opener on Nov. 22 versus Poland. For the most part the roster is pretty defined. Last-minute decisions will be made on injured stars Raul Jimenez and Jesus “Tecatito” Corona, both vital pieces that can give this squad a needed boost if they were to make the list, although the outlook doesn’t look great." that has haunted Mexico for far too long. That would mean reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 1986.
