First, atnhoer shout out to ZM. I am not sure if Id read atnhoer tactical review or any kind of review regarding the North Korean team. You always seem to surprise me with your choices, always going for the unexpected (Riise and Pizarro in the Team of the Year and so on). Anywho, Mexico is not a perennial QF and their two QF appearances have both been on home soil. Nevertheless, they always, always qualify for the second round, no matter what the group. And they were impressive against England, especially in the first half, however, I was surprised how much room England's back four were allowing. I think Giovanni was free to make runs from the midfield everytime he received the ball. King was just so static and one could not think that Barry was sorely missed in the Makelele role (why do people hate this nomenclature Claude was an awesome player). One more thing, do you think Quathemoc Blanco's inclusion slows down this Mexico team? They revere him but I think they're better without him
