Mexican coach Ricardo Lavolpe has threatened to walk out of the job if someone tries to include Cuauhtemoc Blanco in his World Cup squad against his will.
Lavolpe: “My players already know what my idea for the World Cup is, but if in the Federation they think that I haven’t announced the best players, I think that they still have time to end my contract and hire a new coach.
“From the list of 26 players that I have announced, three will not be travelling to Germany and there will not be any other recall for new players that haven’t been included in the list that I have already announced.”
Mexican soccer is beginning to look like Nigerian soccer.
Too much politics, and the game suffers.
Prediction: Mexico will not make it past the first round. They will lose to Iran and Portugal. Maybe even Angola!

You are so right. Lavolpe is a jealous fool. And we – Mexico- will have to pay
Mexico 1, Venezuela 0
A penalty by striker Omar Bravo gave Mexico a 1-0 win over Venezuela. That’s all they could do. La Volpe must be a tad worried… But not worried enough to call up Blanco….
