Mexico vs France...

On June 17, 2010 we had the opportunity to see in the World Cup South Africa the match between Mexico and France.  Javier ‘El Chicharito’ Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc  Blanco were two factors that lead Mexico to the victory against France. The synchronization of the passes between Javier Hernandez and the captain of the Mexico’s team was one of key thing that allowed Hernandez to scored the first goal in that difficult match. Also the penalty shot by Blanco in the 79th minute, a penalty earned by Pablo Barrera, a very young guy that came on for Carlos Vela, who get injured in the first half, put Mexico in the leading of the match.

The performance of the Mexican players during the game was admirable; they always were looking for opportunities to score even though they were winning the game, they were always focused and what they had to do, they acted as a team and that, at the end of the game was reflected in the score, and also in the faces of all the followers of the Mexican team. In the other hand, France wasn’t playing at their highest level, they weren’t concentrated, and their passes were not accurate at all. We saw a France that we are not used to see, a France with no motivation, with no spirit and with no hopes. Someone said that the poor performance of France is due to the coaching of Raymond Domenech, who consults astrologist to pick his lineup, instead of seeing the performance of each player and according to that make the lineup. This victory gave Mexico the pass to the second round of the tournament meanwhile France destiny is not defined yet; maybe the sub champion of the World Cup four years ago is going to be eliminated.
