    Rough Translation via Google Translation:
    :( Adiós, 'Piojo'. I think this is proper. He shouldn't have answered that way to a reporter, no matter what the reporter said.

    At no point does Miguel Herrera touch Martinoli. This video shows how his daughter is the only one showing actions by his daughter towards Luis García, another reporter:

    There is no action by Herrera to Martinoli (TV Azteca reporter), or at least there seems to be no video of any action. Seems like Martinoli made up all this. Maybe they're firing Herrera because of his daughter's actions? :eek:

    There is a war between the FMF and the press. Basically all press is jealous of the giant Grupo Televisa and the media's hate for Televisa is taken out against the NT. Every media outlet not Televisa constantly whines and b****es (including TV Azteza who Martinoli works for) about the relationship between FMF and Televisa.

    Basically it's a proxy war against Televisa all other media including TV Azteca, ESPN, Fox, etc..., but the NT is the only casualty. Only the media has no repercussions, they more turmoil they cause the better ratings.

    Well, he and his daughter (don't know if he has any) probably haven't physically accosted a TV reporter. :eek: Nothing to "LOL" about, man.

    His 19-11-7 doesn't seem like a good record. We couldn't win in Copa América or beat Honduras, Guatemala, Trinidad, not even fourth place USA... :(

    The only consolation was the Gold Cup and even then this might be a bad time to fire him also because of the wild-card versus the USA in October and that is too near and too valuable to be changing strategical formats.

    Why Chicarito never started at Man U is confounding, he is a great player when given time, looking great against Argentina tonight.

    He's always been behind a superstar striker at united. Whether it be Rooney, or RVP. United have rarely run two striker sets so that's been why. He was a great super sub for them for some time, but his form for them dropped lately. His last game before being sent off saw him slip on a penalty and send it wide and also sky a tap in from in front of goal. For Mexico though he has always performed well. I guess it's just a matter of systems. Mexico builds around him and at United he had to fit in a system designed for other strikers.


    On another note, I was at the game last night. Unbelievably fun! Mexico was deadly on the counter all night and even though Argentina looked more skilled all game, their execution on their counter attack was just perfect. It wasn't until they backed off and went defensive that Argentina finally cracked the game open. Up until the first goal, Mexico's keeper was on fire. He made some really impressive point blank saves.

    I was at the Brazil game a while back at AT&T and most of these same players were there. I witnessed Gio's center-shot. Neymar couldn't do anything.

    Luckily Messi showed up, maybe halfway, last night. Defense on him was good until what you mentioned. I guess straight up Argentina did not have Mexico's number but once Mexico was retreating or just defending, Argentina found it. :cool:

    Chicharito is not losing a step. He might be inaccurate from long range but he is still fast and can find that at-the-right-time-at-the-right-place moment.
