[...] Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth, Cindylu was blogging the game live. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the more boring games of the Cup. No goals. No winner. A disappointment that we didn’t get to shout GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, but still a good time. [...]

They certainly needed a finisher and Borghetti can certainly do that (although he has not been very good recently). For most of the game his presence would not have mattered. El tri was passing poorly, bad ball control, and just not playing as a team. Maybe towards the end he might have made a difference, but the futbol gods where not with Mexico. Too many near misses and a post!

It will be better for el Tri if Portugal wins tomorrow. Then they will be in and play more relaxed against Mexico (with a tie, it would be Portugal first, Mexico second). A tie would be ok. An Iran win would be the worst because that puts Portugal in the pressure cooker and Iran will play hard against Angola. A ver que pasa.

Let’s see what the gringos can do against Italy. It would be awesome if the US wins because it would give the Italians a nice piece of humble pie. I was in Italy in 2002 and they were saying so many racist things about Mexico before they played. The tie was a nice moment.

Win, Lose. It’s all about Mexican fans getting crazy and inspired.

Thanks for the recap! Although I wasn’t too thrilled with the outcome.

Cez,
They were brutally honest.

Xoloitzquintle,
I was thinking of doing all the mathematical possiblities in my head. What happens if Iran wins tomorrow? Or there’s a tie? Or what about third round of matches in group D. But that’s too much thinking and then my head will hurt and I have other things I need to do.

But yeah… do you think the outcome would have been different if Borghetti was present?

I don’t know what was going on with the Mexican players. I think they thought this game was going to be a sure thing. They certainly were not focused – except for Osvaldo and he is the one who has an excuse not to be focused.

Ahora le tenemos que ganar a Portugal. Who knows which Portuguese team will show up to that game.

BTW – Lavolpe looks a lot like my father – same scowl and chain smoking.
