World Cup South Africa vs Mexico Preview
The team with the highest expectations is surely South Africa, who will be both hosting the tournament and trying to focus on advancing to the second round. Qualifying was easy for them as they qualified automatically as hosts, but they will certainly find a stiff challenge in getting to the next round.
The Mexicans have had a turbulent past couple of months, but led now by former Atletico Madrid coach Javier Aguirre, the Latin American team have their sights set on achieving success in South Africa. Mexico legend Cuauhtemoc Blanco is back from retirement and has proven to be an influential leader for some of the younger players on the team. Rafael Marquez is another world class performer that will surely keep the team focsed throughout the tournament. If young stars Carlos Vela (Arsenal) and Giovani dos Santos (Galatasaray) can live up to their potential - this is a team that is ready to cause upsets.
So that covers our quick look at tonight's featured match, with hopefully our South Africa vs Mexico preview doing an adequate job of informing the casual football public on the background of these two teams ahead of their matchup today.
