So it looks like I am going to the Agentina Vs Mexico game now, can you give me the lowdown on the teams?

Ok, so I am from England and should know more than I do about Football but I live in America now and no longer follow it as much as I used to. I am really looking forward to this, the last game that I went to was Glasgow Rangers Vs Celtics, 5 years ago and the energy was fantastic. This is the first match that I am going to with my husband and about 10 friends of a friend, we got these tickets last minute because someone dropped out.
Who do I watch out for, what number shirts do they wear and what can I say during the game so that I don't look like an idiot! Thanks in advance.
Also how important is this match? Is it just a friendly match or more?

just say this.... VIVA MEXICO! and you'll feel right at home, but ill doubt we'll win because Argentina has such a strong lineup, look out for Lionel Messi (dont know his number) he's a tricky little bugger, and on Mexico's side watch out for Nery Castillo #10 he can put the ball in the back of the net at any moment of the game

Your in for a treat. When Mexico and Argentina play the game is very intense and well played. If I were you I would root for Mexico since the majority of the fans attending the game are supporting Mexico. Players to watch for are Messi, Riquelme, Memo Ochoa. Messi is the Argentine right wing very fast and dynamic, Riquelme is the main player for Argentina, and the Mexican goalie Ochoa is the #3 ranked goalie in the world so he is good. Mexico wears either white or green and Argentina wears light blue.
