México v. Guatemala 1-2 14/Mar/08

As a Joyce text (off course, in the less form talent and experience) a pure fragment and un-claused version of my review will be given this time, due to the vertigo of the match. As an experiment this will be the first live match review, as Beckett on "Waiting for Godot" I shall experiment with different variations of style, not stuck in the post review style. Right now, in the 13', things are dazed with different aspects developing, eventually Guatemalan defense is holding while Mexican offensive is not being as effective as it would be. Certainly all the hopes are put in Sergio Ávila and César Villaluz (mine personally on Édgar Andrade).

The game started as usual with the youngster Castillo showing his talent early in the 7'. Castillo goal was due to the Guatemalan bad defending, on 8'.

Certainly Mexican team has found the lead, not just through game but rather luck.

Lazy Mexican side on covering and almost everything. Reluctant Guatemala on 22'.
Esqueda finishing on 26' proved what could be a excellent and cruising advantage to the national side. His finishing lacked almost everything. He is not a first division player, lets face it, but rather a villian in the box.
At 30' great gaps between the defined lines.

Unclear game on 36'. Guatemalan side still expectating. Mexican side still reluctant.
Goal 40' by Guatemala, Awful Mexican defense.
Guatemala goal in 66', awful marking, defeat in defense, Memo Ochoa as main responsible.
At 70' defined game, bad Mexico. Undefined gamestyle. Andrade in a shadowy pace.

Tide turning in the final minutes of the game Guatemala is eager to take the lead.
Second half, Andrade for Velarde. Same change on lines as the game before.
A very good start by Mexico.
Mexican crisis at 80'. Hilarious way of loosing against a clumsy side.
Really concerned about the way of playing and little chances of gaining a place at Olympics.

Immediately after the game the now popular "Futbol Picante" ESPN Mexican football program, showed a relentless critic on the game. I keep the Carlos Albert image with a tape in his mouth. Relentless.

I am very happy to say that one of my best friends, Rodrigo, has created his blog, that resume all AC Milan games and many relevant footballistical events. I am so glad that one of the few persons that has a control of football acknowledgment not just in contemporaneous events, but in classical and tangent. He is one of the few persons I could really speak of football, European and Mexican, and I totally trust in his objective judgments that not just derive from the current Milan form, but through the Spanish and German football, with one of his main influences in ESPN's Vitto de Palma blogs. I encourage him and totally support him on his newest adventure through the net, and wish him, the best of bests. READ HIM!
