villus Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Free kick Agreed. Simply put, no other Concacaf coach comes close to the achievements, accomplishments and experience of SGE. He has coached at Benfica, Lazio, Man City, England and even won titles. Unless you believe that a coach means little in the game of soccer, you have to view this as a big plus for Mexico and its prospects. This is significant given that we are slated to be in same pool as Mexico in the semi final rounds. I would have been far more confident in stealing points from them with someone like Hugo Sanchez in charge. Although he is a strong coach he most likely has no clue about concacaf and the opposition/venues he will be facing which is a could be viewed as a plus for us. Also I don't think Mexico has ever had a "gringo" in charge so you never know how some of the players will respond, not saying that the Mexicans are worse than any other country but it is a first for them so who knows.

youllneverwalkalone Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think Bora is considered a gringo and he's won more matches than any other Mexico manager, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
