This is the year for Mexico to show the world just how good they really are!

Mexico, how are they going to win the world cup, when they can't even beat the united states.

Response to Jacob: Beat the United States just because they lost the last game against the USA does not mean they will not succeed in the cup. Mexico has dominated the USA for several years. USA has come up in recent years but Mexico is still the better team.

I thin we are a better team than mexico they might have quality players but they don't play as a team

Yo Mexico, good luck on the world cup,

This is the yeat for MEXICO. Lavolpe did what he had to to get a good team which was take out Blanco and keep Andres Guardado this guy can make a difference.

P.S. Viva las Aguilas

Mexico is a better team than the USA although the US has become a better team in the past few years. Im in favor of Mexico and USA for the world cup, but if they play each other than im all for Mexico. USA how did you lose to Morroco??????? That saden me to see the USA lose that game in the last few minutes.

MEXICO has always been good team and the group they're in is no challenge to them. and remember "SI SE PUEDE" y "ARIBA MEXICO"

no matter what we (mexico)are not going to win the world cup.

Mexico has no chance. They don't have enough "good" players to make an impression.

buena suerte MEXICO, y que vibre MEXICO

MEXICO is good team and i have faith they can win it this year. VIVA MEXICO

yet mexico has lost againts the US but here in the US, but when the US team goes to mexico they almost get killed because mexico is better over there... i agree the US team has improved and made such and impact but to be real they need more humbleness and they're still not the best yet... Us has alot more than what mexico needs to become more successful in the world cup, both teams are really good but still mexico is better, us doesnt have enough good players yet, freddy adu is not better than Giovanni Dos Santos nor Donovan better than Blanco... US is not known in the world yet

I wish them the best, and hope they don't choke again

ohh screww USAA!! Mexico would be better always.. Mexico is down of Brasil and Argentina.. but who beat Brasil on confederations cup last year?? Mexico,, and ronaldinho and robinho and all the stars were playing,, so this means that MEXICO could win the world cup... comee on MEXICOO..

Responding to Jacob: Hmm...So any team that can't beat USA has no chance? Wrong. Don't get me wrong, USA has a lot of great talent and young players that improved the team a lot during the last years, but as they improve, so does Mexico. One loss to USA means nothing. I wish both the best, specially my country of heart, Mexico. See you in the semi-finals! Yep, I said SEMI-FINALS!

mexico has a lot of new talents like GIOVANI DO SANTOS, CARLOS VELA,AND GUARDADO which is why they won the "Sub 17" last year so we can expect a lot from mexico in the future

I think that MEXICO is gonna go all the way and they are going to try there hardest and they will bring the cup to MEXICO

Mexico is going to win the world cup because USA has no chance do to that france,spain and brazil are in the finals. But Mexico has proven to beat some of the best teams of the world and if Mexico needs to play USA to pass on well then USA should just pack up their bags because mexico is going to win and win the World Cup!!!!!

i hate la volpe him and his stupid plays i love mexico but hate how they play right know without blanco its bad for them

I'm preaty sure that mexico is going to get better as the time past but I'm preaty sure that they are not going to win the world cup sure they have dos santos, gurdado, vela, fonseca, borgetti, franco, marquez, and a lot of good player but the are not even close to brazil, italy, france, spain, germany, and a lot of other good teams but they will get to the top som day buena suerte mexico mi corazon esta con tigo y ojala unos de estos dias tubieran la oportunidad de ganar la copa mundia!(good luck Mexico)- the USA is also getting better and better every year as you ca see they have donovan, adu, reyna, mcbride, and many more but still the USA is not good enough to acomplish what mexico has done, dut the USA can get a chance of winnig a world cup is they try harder and really get into the sport of soocer. (good luck to you too USA)

its not like USA is gonna do anything especially when they're losing to teams like morroco haaha. mexico has an amazing team this year, USA good luck on making it out of ur group

JARED BORGETTI ERES EL MEJOR DEL MUNDO MUCHA SUERTE EN EL MUNDIAL

mexico is going to surprise everyone when they win the world cup

LOOK ALTHOUGH I LOVE MEXICO WE HAVE TO BE HONEST TO OURSELVES, I MEAN COME ON GUYS MEXICO TAKING THE WORLD CUP THIS YEAR????? ARE YOU SERIOUS????? OK THEY HAVE A CHANCE IF...BRAZIL,GERMANY,ARGENTINA,ITALY,HOLLAND,ENGLAND,PORTUGAL,FRANCE, AND SPAIN VANISH FROM THE PHASE OF THE EARTH THIS WORLD CUP........AND THEY WILL STILL HAVE TROUBLE WINING THE CUP WITH JAPAN,CROATIA,C. REP,AND UKRAINE........BUT GOOD LUCK MEXICO CUZ U REALLY NEED IT.............

Saludos a todos! bueno para empezar les dire que la selecion nacional Mexicana de Futbol tiene mas probabilidad de conquistar el titulo este verano 06, porque Mexico a dedicado mas tiempo en buscar nuevos talentos que deberas juegen por y para el deporte comparado con copas mundiales anteriores, creo firmemente que el equipo nacional esta entre los seis candidatos para la copa tales como, Brasil, Inglaterra, Argentina, Italia, Alemania porque son seleciones que an competido continuamente con Mexico. En esta copa definitivamente mexico mejorara y transendara mas alla de los octavos de final esta comprovado que la selecion tiene potencial para lograrlo y si porque no Si Mexico es campeon de el mundo a nivel sub-17 tambien lo pueden lograr la selecion mayor, oh un ultimo comentario es que mexico es cabeza de serie y no es concidencia que este uvicado en entre los grandes de el futbol. Vamos Mexico Gutes Gluck (buena suerte ene Aleman).

WELL SCREW ALL MEXICO HATERS WE (MEXICO) CAN DO IT AND WE ARE GOING TO KICK BUTT AGAINST USA, BRASIL AND ARGENTINA CUZ THEY DONT KNOW WHAT MEXICO HAS FOR THEM. BRASIL MEY HAVE RONALDINHO, ROBINHO,RONALDO DIDA,KAKA,R.CARLOS AND ETC BUT THAY AINT GOOD ENOUGH AGAINST RAFA MARQUEZ DE BEST DEFENDER BECAUSE HENRY COULDNT EVEN GET PASS HIM ON THE FIANLS. IF HENRY COULDNT DO IT WHAT MAKES RONALDONHO DO IT? WE MAY NOT WIN THE CUP BUT WE ARE AT LEAST GOIN TO CUALIFY TO THE SEMI-FINALS "VIVA MEXICO".

Mexico is a horrible team. All you have is a bunch of little men diving and running their mouths. Will Mexico get out of their group, well yeah probably because its one of the easiest groups. But i wouldn't get your hopes on getting past the second round, just like last time they will be knocked out in the second round. And you are a moron for talking about marques like that JULIO!!!! HENRY MADE MARQUEZ FALL OVER IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL! If your argument is Marquez thats really sad. So have said that, its really sad how you mexicans still run your mouths about the united states. They are a better team, they have more players playing in europe, They qualified first in concacaf in qualifiing. I think the only thing that would shut you people up is the United States winning in Germany. Though that probably wont happen, i sure hope it does to shut you ignorant people up!!!!

GO MEXICO YOU CAN TAKE IT ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR!!!

Sorry, but the team is not so good this year. I am not happy to say it, but we stink. We stand no chance in the World Cup. I think we should stick to CONCACAF and just play a world tourny with those teams. Maybe then we could win a few games. I think Ecuador is going to go all the way. But I hope they don't knock out Mexico. Oh well, goodluck to all teams. Boo Scotland!

MEXICO IS TERRIBLE. I GUESS YOU ALL HAVEN'T SEEN THE FIFA RANKINGS RECENTLY, BUT THE US IS TIED WITH MEXICO. SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK. SO PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE MEXICO IS SOME GREAT SQUAD. THE US ISN'T GREAT EITHER, BUT ATLEAST THEY DID WELL IN THE LAST WORLD CUP, WHAT DID MEXICO DO? "PUT UP OR SHUT UP"
refresher for you... http://2002.fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/02/en/t/m/53/
1 Brazil 0 837 -2
2 Czech Republic 0 793 -3
3 Netherlands 0 791 1
4 Argentina 0 769 -3
5 France 0 766 -2
6 Spain -1 765 -3
6 Mexico 1 765 -2
6 USA 1 765 -2

why do so many people think mexico is so great?! They are a terrible team compared to alot of the other teams in the world cup! marquez is their best player, and he is just "okay"

Matt, MEXIco is the GREATEST team alive!!! they willl win the whhole cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MEXICO STINKS
THEY ARE TERRIABLE
USA IS BETTER AND THEY AREN'T EVEN GOOD
IF MEXICO MAKES IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND THEY WILL BE LUCKY

HAHAHA First MExico is a better team then USA,

But the truth is Iran beat USA at 1998 world cup shut them down and then beat them in Los Angelas. Now its MExicos turn on June 11th 2006... We will win and show what we are made off. Iran has made a dramastic change being 46th in the world 4 years ago and now 17th in the world. Iran was the first team after Brazil to qualify to the world cup. Brazil advanced bec they won the last world cup. See what this new team will do. This is for Carlos Cienfuegos de Rosario Jr. So i think the phrase you used "put up or shut up" should be used for USA....yup

Nacho Libre that was posted for you not Carlos Cienfuegos de Rosario Jr.

usa SUCKS mexico is better i love mexican futbol MEXICO GOING win world cupM
MEXICO CHAMPION 2006 usa team son losers

Iran will kill Mexico on June 11th...
Iran and portugal will advanced to the next round. FORGEGT MEXICO they have no CHANCE AGAINTS IRAN...... 4-1 for IRAN
pinche MExicans

everyone knows mexico is better than Iran

Mexico is horrible, they are not a team they are a bunch of individualists.

FIRST OFF, YOU MEXICANS MUST FIRST LEARN HOW TO SPELL. MEXICO STINKS PLUS, THE USA BEAT MEX. IN THE 02 WC 2-0 YESSSS. FROM NOW ON THE USA WILL TOP MEXICO.

the US will top the group, beat Croatia, then beat the swiz, then make it to the semi's, we will beat the english, make it to the finals and beat brazil 1-0!

The truth is that the U-S-of-A will sooner or later become one of the worlds best national teams!
THE USA WILL SHOW NO MERCY!!!

"ARRIVA MEXICO" All OF THE OTHER TEAM ARE JUST AS READY TO LOOSE AGAINS "MEXICO". I KNOW THAT PEOPLE SAYS THAT MEXICO IS NOT GOOD BUT I WILL BE LAUGHING WHEN MEXICO SUPRISES EVERYONE AND TAKES THE CUP... BUT IF THEY DONT WE WILL NOT CRY LIKE OTHER TEAMS BEFORE...SO I WE LOOSE NEXT 4 YEARS, THE CUP IS OURS BUT IF WE DO PARTY IN MY HOUSE. GO MEXICO ALL THE WAY.........:) ARRIVA MEXICO CHATOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caro Dio, again with the Ivory Coast. Remember, Drogba doesn't have the help of Lampard, Joe Cole, Robben, Makelele and he won't be playing teams like Egypt or South Africa. Just a tip for all of you, a European team will win the Cup...guaranteed.

you r wrong italian dude

mexico lost to holland hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah it's a joy!

mexico lost to holland hahahahah and france hahahaha. what the are you talking about when mexico fails you will not cry? thats all mexicans do is cry. and to you yo mama, we seem to disagree alot, but drogba is horrible, why would chelsea get schevchanco if drogba was good enough. truth is hes horrible. same with the ivory coast! so can we talk about something other than mexico because its getting really boring and old. why not talk about bobby convey and how sweet he is, and now hes playing in the premiership! go usa! and if arena doesnt start bobby with donovan and beasley that is a shame!

In all seriousness Mexico is not going to win the world cup and they MIGHT get out of there group but only behind Portugal because if anyones going to do anything in group D its going to be Portugal. PORTUGAL RULES

Mexico always does a good paper but they never win the big games because they do not have a quality player like blanco in the middle

This is for 'Portugal'. Italy vs Portugal in the final :-).

brandon is rong and mexico will beat ivory coast in the finals i luv drogba!

Portugal and IRan, mexico has no chance they just lost a friendly match to moraco 2-1 and to france 1-0 they have no chance to qulify

yo mama, if i was wrong dragba would be starting for chelsea next season. But he wont be due to the fact that they spend 30 million on schevchanco, because drogba wasnt good enough. so its safe to say that you're wrong!

You guys are getting all worked up about teams that won't even make it to the quarter-finals. E il nostro tempo. It is our time. ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA!

you little italians, your right not everyone has the skills to cry and fake injuires everyminute, thats why u go almost all the way hahaha

ohhhhhhhh mamamiaaaaaaaaaaaaa my leg oh weres da pizza ey

"To all the haters of the world. . . . eat poop. all negative comments to any national team gives soccer a bad name. Especially racism, I cannot stand people mocking players because of their color, race, sex,religion, ETC. Enjoy the World cup, leave negative comments to where they belong. . . . in the trash.

"every time you mock a player and/or a team, is how much time you will spend in
H()ll. Soccer is all over the world; play it.
Talk with your feet not with mouth."

P.S I bet your not much of a player. I am talking to all the people who Critise Mexico or any other country.

I agree 100% with daniel, theres no need for comments like that, just have fun and watch the games, all teams have something unique and good and different to there game. Thats the great thing about FIFA WORLD CUP all countries around the world get together and play for the fans and there country. Its not like hockey,baseball,basketball or even tennis, this is the most watched and respect sport in the world, so respect it, and others.

The Mexican team is a great squad and have what it takes and focus on the Cup before anything else. They also can't underestimate teams and NEED to play with JOY HEART HONOR and most importantly SKILL no one player will win it for them so they will have to work together and play well. I don't care what some people say Valope is one of the greatest coach mexico is to see in a long time the Mexico Holland game was amazing and Holland ranked 3 barely etched out a victory IN THEIR HOME STADIUM. Yes i know they do need work but the squad is talented and you can't over look that. P.S. Blanco got old and slow and would not be able to keep up at this year COPA MUNDIAL I will not make any further predictions and now I am going to sit back and watch the Bitter Sweetness of whatever will happen.

this is a response to ALL who just bashed on Mexico in this section.
ok..so Mexico isnt any Brazil, but they arent some crap team either. so everyone just put ur damn arrogance aside and actually do your research before you go off calling mexico "crappy" or "they suck." and for whoever Nacho Libre is with his little "ranking table." do you honestly believe the US deserves to be ranked in the top 10? i mean im a fan of the US as well, but what did they do? beat mexico in 2002? i think its time they do something else to prove their worthy of such a good ranking. lastly...the US have A LOT of work to do if they want to even manage getting out of their group. so dont think they're goin to the second round just yet.
p.s.
VIVA MEXICO!!!

It's no surprise that I see coments like these both teams r CONCACAF rivals in my opinion both teams r equal but unfortunately U.S.A has a very difficult group they will have to at least get a point in the opening match of the group to dream of getting through 2 the next phase but like the ADIDAS slogan says: "Impossible is nothing".Mexico has a slightly easier group but it wont be easy cause all teams in the group have a diferent style of play Angola will be physical Iran will be quick & Portugal will be very tecnical depending mostly on their individualities.I think U.S.A will surprise the world in qualifying to the next stage leaving behind either Czech Republic or Italy as far as Mexico they should go through also but lets keep in mind that after that comes Argentina or Holland(if the favorites of group C qualify) and for the U.S.A very big chance of playing vs Brasil all in all in this stage anything is possible. Good Luck 2 both and hopefully Portugal doesnt dissapoint this year making it at least to the quarter-finals.Forca Portugal!

All teams that go to the world cup means something, they all have skills in there own way, thats why they are in the world cup. My background is persian and american, i will sheer both teams to the finals, i think portugal and iran will quilify and usa to the second round.

GO IRAN AND USA yaaaaaa

MEXICO IS GONNA WIN AND THE US IS GOIN TO LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND

U.S.A. IS GONNA WIN AND MEXICO IS GOIN TO LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

no no no the truth is that mexico will top their group for they have such a great team in this FIFa WC. plus mexico along with the USA will be one of the best national teams in the world starting this world cup, the US and the MEX. teams are becoming powerful everyday.Concacaf will have two powerful nations that conmebol and uefa will fear!
GO TEAM USA AND TEAM MEXICO

I believe that this world cup is long from being decided, I believe that the United States will pass to the next round as well as Mexico and I look forward to what develops, but you cannot underestimate the other 28 teams as well as the heavy favorite "Brazil". I expect that this world cup will be different from the past world cups.Good luck to all!

What are yall talking about Ghana is going to win the whole thing ghananana hey heeeey good bye

I believe Mexico has the most pride than any other country in the world.....however, I don't think they have the players to win the World Cup but maybe it's their year to get past the Quarter-Finals.

Mexico WILL NOT PASS THREW TO THE SECOND ROUND, WE WILL FING OUT ON THERE FIRST GAME AGAINTS IRAN ON JUNE 11TH THE WORLD WILL SEE.

i hope u gouys are joking when u say mexico will win the cup. Do u honestly think that mexico can beat brazil, england, or even france? come on!

Even if the world cup was held every year, Mexico won't win. Their players never get exposed to world soccer. Only one or two every decade make an impact in European soccer like Hugo Sanchez and Rafa Marquez. Never heard of Mexican players in South American Soccer, which rules soccer. Blanco is a big fish in Mexico but in world soccer he is a guppy. He stuck around in France after the world cup there but no European club would hire him. He sucks. Mexico ranks fourth in fifa because they keep beating teams like Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago over and over. Really!

To the people who love soccer, I salute you.
If you play soccer, congradulations! !!
If you just mock or critise a player and/or the teams. You are in the wrong place at the wrong time because 23 countries will be playing out their skills and heart to win THE most prestigous trophy in the world, the WORLD CUP ! ! ! ! ! ! There is no place for the bad people for that. Instead of critising it, just go and play hide and seek in traffic.
You will feel better.

Para la gente que encanta al futbol, ustedes tiene passion.
Si juegas futbol, tienes corazon.
y si nomas hechasmalapoliticjugadores y el equipo de qual quere, estas equivocado de lugar por que 23 paises vana jugar con confianza y sus systema de juego par ganar EL tropheo mas prestigo del todo el mundo, !!!LA COPA MUNDIAL!!!
No espacio para gente con mala politica, para los gente con mala politica, por favor ! ! !juege en trafico!!! te cienteras bien.

Brandon is just jealous that USA was second to Mexico and couldn't go to the Confederations Cup aaaannnd, their U-17 team didn't win the youth world cup. Mexico has right now the best team ever for this Cup and the next one, when our champion teenagers grow up. As a matter of fact I like the americans they're great guys, it's just the people that have nothing good to say (like Brandon) don't know how to have fun with other people, after all its a game people play and watch for fun not to hate.
