Five players suspended from the Mexican team for testing positive Clenbuterol. http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/seleccion-mexicana/noticias/2011/06/09/doping-en-el-tri-conferencia-en-vivo
^ :grin: Nice. Yeap. I was about to report this to you all. Out they go, these "drug addicts." Illegal crap... you can't play. Sorry. Too bad. We should have a good group to play instead of them.
It looks like only Maza and Ochoa were starters, but losing depth in a tournament is never good. The failed test was apparently on May 21, they'll be tested again and may be able to play if they pass.
^ Yeah, but the Mex Fed will investigate further. It appears it was due to eating contaminated food: UNIVISION's report Spoiler I am not worried that the remaining players (18, I think?) will do a good job. I hope they won't let this distract them.
^ They think it might be related, only, but the players aren't denying it (yet). This is just what the peeps doing the press conference said. They were tested WAY BACK in May, yo. Why is that hard to believe? They do this all the time in the Olympics. It's easy to determine that's when they ingested the substance.
¡MÉ-XI-CO!*¡MÉ-XI-CO!*¡MÉ-XI-CO! ¡A ganarle a Cuba! Dang it! We should be up 4... and probably down 2.
5-0 vs Cuba but Im a bit worried without Ochoa as goalie, especially in the last part of the tournament.
US looked terrible in first 70 minutes against Panama then mounted a too-little-too-late rally in last 20 minutes. What is the problem, too many rusty guys who can't get off the bench in Europe, poor team selection.... Does a win over Guadeloupe get us into the quarterfinals in most scenarios?
