I know for sure we have this game on locked down, Guatemala 2-0 Jamaica..
Mexico is full of superstars, what are they trying to demonstrated by scoring to many goles, on El Salvador and Cuba.. NOT GOOD>
They need to confront to Guatemala and See if they could do the same thing.. I don’t thinks so..

Mexico is the Gold CUp Champion!!! you alreadyy knoww!!!
Le tengo fe a chicharito, pero estoy muy desepcionado con los ultimos partidos que ha ofrecido, tiene mucho mas capacidad de lo que hasta hoy a presentado. Hecos goles que fallo, son inperdonables para un profesional, creo que ha decaido mucho ultimamente con la seleccion, osea que si no le ponen el balon en la frente oh en el pie junto al portero (y aun haci falla!!) no ha tenido la capacidad oh creatividad para crear sus propias oportunidades de gol, como lo saben hacer los grandes, no le quito nada ni digo que no es bueno, pero debe reflejar en el mismo, ponerse las pilas y trater de tener mas creatividad y sangre fria frente al portero. Bueno Arriba Mexico, me gusto muchisimo el cuadro actual y se que tenemos mas que lo suficiente para ganar esta copa.
everyone already knows MEXICO is going to win it all
how about mexico….seriously some thought US would win
