How do you think it will go for Mexico in the soccer world cup?

Mexico's group also has Iran, and a Czech team which should be considered a possible winner (along with Germany & Brazil).  Only 2 of 3 will go to the second round.  Mexico will be an underdog against Czech, and will have to beat Iran to advance.  That is not an easy thing to do.\n\nWhether Mexico finishes 1st or 2nd in their group, it doesn't look good.  They would meet Argentina or Holland in the round of 16.  Mexico would be a BIG underdog to both of those teams.\n\nI would pick Mexico to barely get to the "sweet 16", but not the quarter-finals.

Here in Mexico there are two distinctly different schools of though.\n\nThe First one is: We sucked big-time against Angola and Portugal. Everybody on the team is screwing the pooch. As usual we scrape out of the qualifying by the skin of our teeth, only to crash out in flames during the second round. The Argies will murder us and burn the body! (Argentina 3-1)\n\nThe Second one is: La Volpe is remarkably calm and optimistic for such a nasty s.o.b. In fact He seems downright (and uncharacteristically) pleased with Mexico's awful performance! We do have a lot of skill and talent on this team. While undeserving of FIFAs high rating, we are just as undeserving of the low esteem that most international fans hold us. Could Ricardo La Volpe simply be "playing possum" with his old WC teammates? Getting ready to spring a major trap on the unsuspecting, over-confident and always arrogant Argies?\n(Mexico 3-2)\n\nIts only a few hours to see. Me, I'm going to be drinking a fair amount of Negra Modelo fearing the first option, hoping for the second!

I think Mexico will win

I would have chosen America to go as CONCACAF representative, but seeing their performance today against UNAM, Toluca has a great chance of going.  \n\nChelsea was defeated by Barca in the  quarterfinals of the Champion's League, and they have the strongest side in UEFA right now, so I think Barca will go.  \n\nI see that you have an interest in Mexican clubs, but this year as CONMEBOL goes, I don't think the three Mexican teams have a chance of winning, as Guadalajara have lost many players to the national team and the other two aren't doing so well.  Expect (again) either a Brazillian or Argentine team.  From Brazil, I think Corinthians, although having started off slowly, has the best chance.  From Argentina, Velez Sarsfeld.  River hasn't been playing well this year.\n\nIf Barca takes the Club Championship seriously, then I think they are the favorites for it.  They are playing some seriously superhuman football right now.  But that is far away from now, and the World Cup will be such a huge event that by the time it comes by, people will still be talking about the World Cup.\n\nOh, and it will take place in Japan from 10 to 17 December.

Argentina is in their best potential right know especially after creamating Serbian & Montenegro 6-0. They have a lot of communication between the player and their one touch passes sure leave a defence crying for their mos, hehe. I am a Mexico fan myself, but I know Argentina can take it this year.

MEXICO didn't look to hot against ANGOLA\n\nI'd say that ARGENTINA can beat them both\n\nbut PORTUGAL has a better chance

Round of 16. \nIf Mexico wins Group D, they will face runner up of Group C. That can be Argentina, Holland, or Serbia & Montenegro. All are three teams Mexico will possibly loose to. \n\nMexico has to will hard a hard time beating a strong and hungry Portugal and will have to play real strong to beat Iran. I would like to see them loose but believe they will win the Group.

I really hope Iran will win. But it will be a very close and exciting game as both teams have way too much pride on the line. Mexico has their reputation to defend, and the young Iranian team has a lot to show for. Perhaps Iran will answer the June 2002 friendly game 2-1 loss to Mexico by winning 2-1 this time. Specially since the Mexican first choice goal-keeper had to fly back home due to the sudden death of his father.  Hope he can get through this sad and tough time and pick himself back up for future games.

Argentina. Mexico lost Luis Perez for a match, not a huge loss, but he was good when given the minutes. Plus, Argentina has the Hand of God on their side!

Don't listen to these people. I think anything is possible. Although I honestly don't think they can get the cup since there are so many other great teams out there. But I think they will definitly make it to higher rounds,  even though they lost from Mexico :(\n\nGO IRAN :)

I personally believe that if Brazil plays at the top of their game, they're invincible...but if they don't, Argentina, Mexico, Germany, the Czech Republic or Spain can beat them

France, altought it has not too many expectative, it could be very competitive in this world cup.\nIt has very good players, and cause zidane is retiring from futbol (soccer) in this cup, maybe the team will give something extra when they play. \nFrance has been a lot of times in the world cup, they also won a cup in France 98, against Brazil in the final\n\nArgentina, has a very good team, there are a lot of good players, has a very competitive team. But, the big problem is that they are in the death group, and is very hard to say what will happen. \nAs an extra tip, Maradona, their biggest star from all times said that the people should not have too much expectatives about their team.\nAlso, Argentina have been in a lot of world cups, always arriving with lot nof expectatives, and has 2 world cups in his power.\n\nEcuador, we have to see. They have a very competitive team. Almost all the starting team have been playing together for about 8 years, so it will be interesting. \nIt has to play against Germany (it will be hard, but at the match time, Germany will probably be classified to the next round), Poland (the harder game) and Costa Rica (almost the same level, so its hard to say who will win) \nEcuador has classified for first time to Korea Japan 2002 world cup. In the world cup, it beated Croatia, and lost against Mexico and Italy

mexico will 100% make it to the second round, now after that it depends against who they play with argentina?, it would be a hard very hard match, against holland mexico has a good chanse of moving on, considering that holland is favorites mexico does very whell like underdogs!! if history has thought us mexico fans something is that mexico has trouble against weak nations not giants.
