It makes sense ...I really have no issue with this. It makes sense to me that if the boys play two games with Chucho, they should play the games that count with him as well. It would be harder to adapt to a new coach, and if the games count, even moreso. Why have the added pressure? Besides, leaving Chucho at the helm will allow Mexico to get a coach who may have a contract expire at the end of the Euro.

Mexico and Mexican players are a different breed, they have a different mentality, some would say "conformist" so they really need a coach who can challenge them and bring out the best in them as people, not just players, and in that respect, Chucho is deffinitely the man.<BR/><BR/>I was very impressed with his work during the China game and so were all the experienced players on that particular team (Sanchez, Zinha, Ponce, etc) so I think that speaks volumes of his abilities as a coach.<BR/><BR/>Wait and see is the name of the game I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-6282160532192916322008-04-22T10:40:00.000-07:002008-04-22T10:40:00.000-07:00it saddens me to say this, but the mexican federat...it saddens me to say this, but the mexican federation is really sloppy, arrogant to the extreme. <BR/><BR/>they thought the olympic qualifiers were going to be a walk in the park, with hugo coaching and all, the opposition was supposed to melt. <BR/><BR/>now they're thinking belize will be a breeze. maybe it will be, but us mexicans have a loooong history of choking... the gold cup, the olympic qualifiers, the china game should be all reminders of how quickly things can turn...<BR/><BR/>saludos, dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
