Mexico and the world cup...?

[firestarterut]

How good are Mexico's chances of winning the 2010 world cup and be realistic? I mean I'm a big fan and I would do ANYTHING to see them win before I die.(hopefully they win soon though) It just seems to me every time they play good they choke. I mean the loss to Argentina last world cup they played their asses off but still lost. That is rather acceptable. They couldn't have played any better it just wasn't our year to win, but in Korea when they got USA. I was like FINALLY we're going to advance and they played horrible. I mean they start off every world cup playing like gods then just choke later. I mean what's the saying. (translated version so all English speakers can understand) "Once again we played like never before...once again we lost like always". I mean its true. They play amazing but just can't manage to win it all. They beat Brazil in the final in the confederations cup in 99 and I thought 2002 would be the year, but I was wrong. I just hope they'll win with the young kids
The new kids coming up the u17 champions give me slight hope... but that's about it. I just hope they can bring a world cup home when they grow up.
At Taurus: I'm not stating Mexico is going to win the World Cup if only you would read and quit being so ignorant. I myself said to all those that were going to answer to please be realistic, so I'm guessing you're the poor kid seeing as you can't read. Any more answers would be appreciated..by those who can read of course.

oh, poor kid, so inocent; first Mexico has to erase all the inferiority complexs it has when playing the US; then and only then, Mexico will dream of advancing to quarterfinals when not hosting a World Cup

I'm a hugggge Brazil fan so im going to say that Brazil will win the 2010 world cup, sorry, i just cant go against them. My dream is to go to the world cup and see them win, but mexico isnt a bad team.

Don't worry man one day its going to happen I just know it

[bassguy]

haha thats true... jugaron como nunca y perdieron como siempre. they always get close but then lose

[EduardoS]

u know im with u on that one
u know when the sub-17 team beat brazil in the final i thought that we would for sure be finalist in 2010 if the sub-20 team one because there pretty much the same youngsters but when they lost in the qauter finals against argantina i have no hope now cuase i think the same thing is going to happen that always does. but u never know. we will have a hell of a team by the 2010 world cup.
we will have who i think will be the best mexican goalkeeper to ever play.-ochoa
we will have a defense like ezparza sacido osorio
medios like mosqueda,guardado
and delanteros like el geo dos santos, and vela

we will have i think one of th best teams mexicos ever had but i dont know

[MexicanRule]

Don't worry my friend, Mexico will certainly win b4 you die.

Go Mexico!!!!

mexico winning in 2010.

I think Mexico has a good chance on winning the next world cup. Why? well because we could actually have Giovanni Dos Santos and Carlos Vela on the team. And if you put these two with the other big stars we have on the National team like Nery Castillo, Jared Borgetti, Omar Bravo and so on; we could actually make it to finals or Ill be satisfied if they even made to semifinals! well lets just support our team in the good times and in the bad times just like a true Tri-Color fan will do. right?

Realistically the chances of Mexico winning it in 2010 are OK (because Brasil, Argentina, Italy, France, etc. will be competitive). If Mexico wanted a better chance, then it is mainly up to Hugo because he will be the one deciding who will play and how they will play (unless the federation replaces Hugo). LaVolpe did a good job in '06 with a team that was not the best, but still did very well (much better performance than in '02). The problem with Hugo's team is that the defense seems to be shaky and too many scoring chances are given to the opponents. If Hugo is the coach in 2010, Mexico will have difficulties again because Hugo seems unwilling to make the necessary changes (like Dunga is doing in Brasil). If there is a new coach who is not afraid to use younger and better players and to change the style of play, then their chances are very good.
