Ahmed announces his squad

Coach Javier Aguirre announced this afternoon in Mexico squad for the match against USA on 12 August. Much speculation as to whether used as a basis to players who are active in Europe, or the players who won the Gold Cup at the end, proved to be a mixture. Here is the full list:

Goalkeepers

• Guillermo Ochoa | America
• Jose de Jesus Corona | Cruz Azul

Fenders

• Efrain Juarez | UNAM
• José Antonio Castro | Tigers
• Rafael Marquez | Barcelona
• Jonny Magallon | Guadalajara
• Ricardo Osorio | Stuttgart
• Aaron Galindo | Guadalajara
• Carlos Salcido | PSV Eindhoven
• Oscar Rojas | America

Flyers

• Gerardo Torrado | Cruz Azul
• Israel Castro | UNAM
• Andres Guardado | Deportivo La Coruna
• Cuauhtemoc Blanco | Chicago Fire

Forwards

• Alberto Medina | Guadalajara
• Giovani Dos Santos | Tottenham
• Nery Castillo | Shakhtar Donetsk
• Carlos Vela | Arsenal
• Miguel Sabah Rodriguez | Monarcas Morelia
• Guillermo Franco | No team

Aguirre has withdrawn its call to Oscar Perez to cede ownership in goal Guillermo Ochoa. On the defensive line, glad to see Efrain Juarez. Surprised to see Aaron Galindo, after going beyond the 'Basque' player is considered a "poor character". Also striking is the entrance to Oscar Rojas, Fausto Pinto leaving out. About Rafael Marquez, his call is conditional, since it will wait until the match between Barcelona vs Chivas USA to determine whether they are fit to play.

In midfield, highlights the absence of Pavel Pardo and Fernando Arce. Brown is not liked by Aguirre: it must be remembered that not included in the list for the 2002 World Cup. Castro has earned this place in the containment. Arce's case is similar to Galindo. Apparently, the coach believes that he lacks the character of Santos for the playoff. It also misses Antonio Naelson 'Sinha', which inexplicably still not taken into account for the Tri.

Go ahead and call attention to the call for Nery Castillo, who has not seen activity in the first two days of Ukrainian football. Except Nery, the whole apparatus Aztec offensive team is the product of the Gold Cup The only blunder is the exclusion of Paul Barrera. I would have preferred the Pumas in the place of Alberto Medina, not just for giving their best version (if it exists) with the green shirt. In short, these are the ones that go to the U.S. for the tie. To you, what do you think the list?
