Do you think Giovanni dos Santos and Carlos Vela are ready for the MEXICAN TEAM?

not yet. though they were GREAT in the youth cup, maybe they need a year or two. Just in time for the world cup too!

Juan Riquelme now that would be a signing! I think they have a wealth of players to choose from. They have the $$$$ but they need to spend it wisely and tatically unlike some corrupted Spanish team who I won't mention--*cough Real Madrid cough*. Well I think Roman would be great although I would miss him on the Villareal Squad..hmmm\n\nSince Van Nistlerooy was throwing a hissy fit I think they might replace him and/or keep him benched. They have decent strikers--rooney, saha. They also have good midfeilders. I don't know about the defense. Rio is strong and so is Silvestre but I think Patrice Evra was a waste of cash yah? Brown is one fire too. I don't know who they can get really. I would love to see them snatch Carlos Tevez before Chelsea get their filthy hands on him. Do not underestimate Tevez's skill. He just might be the next Maradona...heck the next Pele. I think they can also snatch some of the Madrid players to  put them to better use. Madrid doesn't know how to manage for **** and their players have a lack of communcation like umm every game. The managers also quit and give up on the squad after a month--two months max.\nSo if Man U were to say buy that mid-ogre--the danish one and maybe Robinho--wow what a dream that would be huh? You can wish can't you? Adriano would be perfect but he is out of reach too. I am stumped so I am going to stick with my main man Juan Roman and my next main man Tevez! *Go Tevez*

Yes they can. Of course. They do not have tough opponents at all. Winning against Trinidad, Canada, Mexico and USA is very possible . No doubt. Jamaica, El Salvador, Cuba and etc are not strong teams. If Trinidad make it, Guatemala can do it too.. Why do you think an overrated team like Mexico whose pride after 12 appearances is that once upon time they qualified to 1/4th at home, can qualify and Guatemala can not?

It's likely but i don't think so. Other teams are looking really good, like Argentina,Germany,mexico, and some others.

of course it is going to be Oswaldo sanches. He is alot better than Guillermo ochoa and alot more experienced.  But the best goalie mexico ever had was Gorge Campos.

Chivas is not just going to win the Copa Libertadores, thy're also going to win The mexican league. dont you think?\nOmar Bravo is going to go for like 10 more goals in Libertadores.

yes, I think the mixture of experienced and young players this time (Figo, Deco, Ronaldo) is more promising than in the last years.\nSo they will surely better their performance from the last world cup. Is it enough to go very far? Difficult, as they will play either Argentina or Netherlands in the knock out stages..

I'm going to have to dissagree with Dani about Oswaldo Sanchez. i'm also Mexican and i beleive that the coach they have has been attacked by the media (TV Azteca) a little too much, as well as "Anti-chivas" a.k.a. "Americanistas" have been attacking Oswaldo. here's the facts: Oswaldo was and has been aproached by several teams in europe (Ireland i think) to play with them. only reason Jorge Vergara (president of Chivas and Chivas USA) hasn't let him go, is because he didn't want to hold him back for the world cup. as we all see right now, Jared Borghetti, Rafael Marquez and Guillermo Franco are being held back by their coaches in their teams, and Mr. Vergara didn't want that to happen to Oswaldo. as for how far they're going to get... well, realistically, i think they can hit at least a 4rth place.. now being REALLY possitive about this, they may make it to the final, if they change their strategy a couple times... their strategy is too predictable at times.

OF COURSE!!!!!\nRONALDO and RONALDHIÑO  rules!!!!!

Barcelona, the catalans are this year 2006 Champions League Winners.  Puyo, Rafa, and Valdes in the back won't give a goal.  Then even though Messi will be out for the final vs. Arsenal will will hopefully have Xavi back.  Larson will be back along with Deco for Wednesdays match and Ronaldinho has discovered the weakness of AC Milan.  Dida is not playing confident right now so expect more goal.  \nIts destined\nRonaldinho best player in the world\nEto'o best African player\nMessi best player under 21\nChampions in the Spanish Primera and EUFA

I have to disagree, the Mexican Team does not have what it takes (technique, mental game) to compete with Argentina. \n\nPortugal may give a surprise to Holland, but my best guess is that Argentina and Holland will cruise to the next stage.

Germany has a rising star in Lukas Podolski. However, I'll pick the underdog Costa Ricans to score first.  I predict Ronald Gomez who has a left foot canon to score off a set play.

I do!\nItaly is one of the strongest teams, we could win this year too.\n\nMoreover, I'm from the same city [Messina, Sicily] of one of the players, Vermiglio.

of course! the mexican soccer team has like 6 or 7 players from chivas. they are like 5th place in their league and they are the team that has won more championships than the other mexican teams.

Wow.. these guys have no idea what they are talking about. They should get Adriano and Torres/Milito as forwards. As for the midfield Riquelme would be a great addition as would Rosicky (maybe the Petrovs too). In defense they should get central midfielders. Two have done well and are young are Chimbonda and Toure.

I think they might...as they've got a good chance vs. croatia and japan. they've got a good squad of players and they work hard throughout the game. I hope they do.

I’m proposing a 4-5-1 (it’s not a whole lot different than a 4-3-3, is it?), with Gooch/Pope/Gibbs/Bocanegra anchoring the Central Defense. I’m visualizing Cherundolo/Lewis/Hejduk as the outside backs, and Convey/Beasley/Donovan/Dempsey at the wings. Central midfield would be controlled by a healthy Reyna/J.O’B/Mastroeni. Let Mastroeni hold, let J.O’B and Reyna divide the organizing and attacking responsibilities amongst themselves.
