You Think the Mexican National Team have a Chance on the World Cup?

I think the Mexican National team has a very good chance as good a chance as any. Never doubt any team out they have been to just about every World Cup and have done very well in all. So I feel they have a great chance.

I think they have a better team this go around at the World Cup.  The only thing is that they are going to have a hard time getting out of their group.  At the last World Cup they didn't have as tough of a group, and that helped them progress further.  I think the experience that the team got from the last Cup will help them to get out of the group stage and they will be able to make it to the quarters.

I do. They have a chance.\n\nI'm not saying they will win, I'm not even sure who will win, but i'm saying that they could win and defeat anyone if they play as they showed they can last summer at the Confederations Cup, where they defeated Brazil (full with stars) and forced Argentina to Penalty kicks and scored 3 goals to Germany, and forced the definition to overtime.\n\n\nThey have the best central defense in the world (or at least one of the top 3) Rafa Marquez, and 2 excelent forwards.

Actually, Mexico has a decent side.  Traditionally, they play very well at home and of course they will not have that advantage ...\nReally, they probably only finished behind the US in the CONCACAF because they sloppily threw together their qualifying squads, knowing that they are pretty much a lock (for qualification).\nPortugal is really the only real powerhouse in their group.  I think beating Iran and Angola is certainly possible, so they should advance past the first round, despite what that dude wrote about a quick trip home ...\n\nUM ... YOU "DOT" IT?

Iran does not stand a chance against Mexico. Mexico is a very experienced team and i expect them to run over Iran. Mexico should win 3 goals to nothing.

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

They've had another poor world cup campaign, considering they have a great team on paper. If they do somehow get past the knock-out stages, I don't see them getting much further

hi, I'm Mexican, and i think Iran has a huge possibility of kicking Mexico "as*" in the world cup. Iran has a great team this year, a lot of international players:Ferydoon Zandi, Ali Karimi, Rahman Razaei, Mehdi Mahdavikia, \nvahid Hashemain, and i don't remember if they are all the internationals, but also in the national league the goalkeeper and the defenders are in a good shape.\nin the other hand Mexico is not in his best moment, they have problems with the coach and some players are in the team just because of the "friendship" with Lavolpe.\nso my definitive answer is sadly (for me, of course). Iran could kick Mexico this year in the world cup.

Absolutely not.\n\nThe U-20 and U-18 teams have been miserable failures in the Youth tournaments. Heck, Canada and the USA have been picking them apart. Mexico will qualify for South Africa, but it won't be easy for them.

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.

I think that because of the team it has, Brazil is one of the strongest candidates to win the world cup. However, the Czech Republic showed to be very strong and firm (even though they defeated the US... I am so disappointed) as well as Spain was the bomb today.  I don't think that Mexico will win. Reason being, they show strength when they play against Central American countries, but when they face a strong team, bye bye.  I would like a unusual team to win the world cup, for example the Czech Republic, Netherlands, even an African country... that would be a surprise, but oh well, let's just wait.

Never, though they have hosted it twice (1970 and 1986).  They might be the surprise team this year, especially after their performance Sunday against a solid Iranian team.  If Borgetti's injury isn't that bad, Mexico could surprise a lot of people in this tournament.

IRAN..... Iran will qualify from their groups respectively. I can't wait to see overrated chaparitos humiliated lol. Mexico really sucks. After 12 times of qualifying the furthest they have gone is quarterfinals. Iranian coach said the best thing? The problem of Mexico is simply being in the same group with Iran and Portugal. lol. Wait and see.

i dont think they have a chance in going to the final game, maybe quarter finals.  \nGermany, Brazil, and Argentina will leave no room for other teams.

well REALLY..they DO have the players to win it, but they dont work together rele good. The most probable place they'll go to is Quater Finals or Semi-Finals this year. BUT EHH---FE"SHOOO I WOOD LOVVVEEE FO DEEMMM TO GOO ALL DA WAYY FE"SHOOO-----VIVA MEXICO  POR SIEMPRE\nVIVA EL TRI!!! ESTA VES VAMOS PARA LA COPA....\n\nsеlессіои мехісаиа: ρаѕіои аzтеса qυе сυbяе еl мυиdо\n\nP.S... PORTUGAL AINT SH*T.....they gon b sent home in the 1st round like last time and the WC b4..they aint gon hav another lucky trip like their 1st WC appearance in '66 England wen the came in 4th--it was Beginners luck--ever since then only qualified 4 times and alwais knocked out in 1st round.

Mexico could go very far as they have the best team they have ever had and they seem quite unified.  They are also capable of beating Brasil and any other powerhouse.  I won't be surprised to make it to the quarter finals.
