Question by mexicanrevolutionary: Why is it that the Mexican national soccer team is losing so much?
I’m not trashing on the team or on Mexicans cause I am Mexican but seriously within the past 3 or 4 years we’ve had 3 different coaches. We have some of the best players in the world(Vela, Dos Santos, Castillo, Marquez, Pardo) yet we are playing really bad, we barely made it past the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

Answer by D.P.
vela, dos santos, and castillo are not among the best players in the world.
we are still in the WC qualifiers, we have not made it yet.
it takes time for the coach to get a good grasp of the players. it also takes time for the players to adjust to each other and the coach’s style.
we are having problems because we are going young when we don’t need to be. Sven started carlitos and gio several times and every time i see a weak performance from the front line. gio and vela need to develop more before they can become instrumental to the team. there are other young players that are neccessary to the game, like Guardado, Castillo, and Ochoa.
gio and vela should be on the squad, but not start. there are much better developed midfielders (Arce, Bautista, El “Jagger” Martinez, Zinha, Pineda) and forwards (Borgetti, Braulio Luna, Juan Carlos Cacho)
i believe that we have been displaying very solid defensive performances. we are lacking in our midfield and forwards. Pavel and Guardado are automatic starters, but the rest honestly could vary.
this is who i would call to La Selección:
G.Ochoa (América)
J. Corona (Tecos)
R. Marquez (FC Barcelona)
C. Salcido (PSV)
A. Galindo (Frankfurt)
H. Moreno (AZ Alkmaar)
G. Estrada (Santos)
F. Pinto (Pachuca)
P. Pardo (Stuttgart)
F. Arce (Santos)
I. Martinez (San Luis)
A. Naelson (Toluca)
A. Bautista (Jaguares)
A. Guardado (Depor LC)
B. Luna (San Luis)
J. Borgetti (Monterrey)
JC. Cacho (Pumas)
C. Vela (Arsenal FC)
N. Castillo (Manchester City FC)
O. Bravo (Depor LC)
