Mexican Players Finding Comfort, Success In Portugal

... team players have made the jump from Portugal to bigger teams but many have used success in one country as a springboard to opportunities in another. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez played in the English Premier League, La Liga and the German Bundesliga in the last two seasons while Andres Guardado played in both Spain and Germany before landing in the Dutch Eredivisie. “The more players they have in Europe the more strong the Mexican national team [becomes],” said Herrera, whose Porto teammates include national team defender Miguel Layun and injured forward Jesus Manuel Corona, who will miss this month’s qualifiers against Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago. National team forward Raul Jimenez plays for Primeira Liga rival Benfica, which is headed toward its fourth straight title. “I’m not saying the ones who play in Mexico are not as competitive,” Herrera ...

Mexico Moves To The Top Of The Concacaf Hex For First Time In 12 Years

... Mexico's opening matchday draw with Jamaica left it in the middle of the table, before El Tri moved into third place for matchdays four, five and six. But defeats to Honduras and the U. S. sent the team tumbling down to fourth, then fifth before bouncing back to fourth and making it to Brazil thanks to a win over New Zealand in the playoff. WATCH: Lletget opens scoring against Honduras. While leading after mathday three does little for Mexico in the long term, it's a nice boost and also means the top spot is El Tri's to lose. But the job is hardly done. The top team after three rounds of matches last cycle was Panama, which eventually fell to fifth and missed out on World Cup qualification. Osorio said the credit is totally with his players, not him. "I think every time we go out they’re executing the idea we want and believe in more," he said. "Today’s game represented a lot for all of us because we achieved our objectives with five, six, seven notable absences.". There could be more absences when Mexico travels to face Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday. Osorio said Jurgen Damm is all but ruled out with an injury, while Javier ...

Mexico Vs. Honduras Soccer Match Set For Tyler

... Mexican teams like Chivas de la Guadalajara or Monterrey to Tyler for an exhibition. Arredondo stepped down from the HBA three years ago. He still had a desire to showcase soccer in Tyler but also wanted to up the ante a bit. Tyler FC Kings’ director of player development, Alberto Ortega, had an idea on how to do just that. A retired pro soccer player from Mexico, “Beto” Ortega had formed relationships with numerous players. “Beto Ortega has extensive background playing pro soccer himself, so he could call these guys on the phone that we see on the TV,” Avila said. “His personal relationship with these players played a big role in these guys wanting to come play in Tyler.”. Arredondo said it is quite an investment to pull this off and they have done it. Avila said Tyler’s own Daniel Hernandez and Daniel Antunez will also play for Mexico. Hernandez retired after a distinguished career in Liga Mexico and Major League Soccer, most recently with FC Dallas. Antunez also played in MLS for Chivas USA and later in the United Soccer League for Arizona United. The NPSL season opens May 13. Tyler FC’s home opener is May 20 at Bullard Brook ...

I don't doubt that. But when he left here he was a good player. They didn't [invent him]. He was a pretty good player when he left here.".

Mexico leads the group with seven points after three matches but is only four points ahead of last-place Honduras in a very competitive hexagonal.

... Rica. Estadio Azteca; Mexico City, Mexico. 8:50 p.m. ET on FS 1. Mexico Roster | Costa Rica Roster. Costa Rica had a dream start to the Hex, defeating Trinidad & Tobago 2-1 on the road before coming home to earn a 4-0 win against the United States. Los Ticos sit pretty atop the Final Round standings, but face a stiff test when they visit Mexico at Estadio Azteca on Friday.
