The players and coaches have a had a few days to recover from the loss to Portugal and now the task at head is Mexico. The team from CONCACAF will be without their all-time top scorer Jared Borgetti who is out with an injury. This doesn’t mean the challenge will be any easier with Mexico forward Omar Bravo coming off of a two goal game against Portugal.

Here is a preview of the match.

And here is a story about Angola’s unique preparation.

I’m ready for this one to kick off. What do you think are the keys for Angola to get a result?

Should coach start with the same lineup? Are we going to be more vulnerable if we play 4-4-2? Any thoughts?

Doesn’t matter what formation you play, tomorrow you are packing up.

I think 4 5 1 maybe the best for us… we just need to attack more…

Tarkaba will have a heart attack when he realises that Mexico are not that good and the Fifa rankings are rubbish.

Mexico is a good team. Mexico has not lost against Brazil in 8 of their last 9 matches, and has won 6 of them. That’s pretty good in my book. Are we a big boy? Not yet, but this is our chance to become one.

Now, about the FIFA rankings, I had that heart attack years and years ago. I recovered nicely.

But instead of talking about how good Mexico is, let’s talk about you guys going home today.

Pack your suitcases:

Mexico 2 – 0 Angola

p.s.
