Overview
- Speaking after TV Azteca confirmed it will carry 32 World Cup matches, the veteran broadcaster said this is the weakest Mexico squad he has covered since 1998.
- He predicted the team will reach, at best, the round of 16, pointing to the larger field and likely scheduling at Estadio Azteca as factors that could still help them advance from the group.
- On the goalkeeper battle, he said Luis Malagón looks nervous with months to go and warned Guillermo Ochoa’s media pull could influence the decision, while stating he would bet on youth for the starting role and view Ochoa as a third keeper.
- He highlighted Chivas striker Armando “la Hormiga” González as a roster candidate, saying sustained form could make him the third forward or elevate him over Santiago Giménez as Raúl Jiménez’s backup.
- He credited Javier Aguirre’s extensive international résumé but argued the coach does not rank among the world’s top 10 despite his visibility at awards events.
