some odd choices here..really odd..wheres luis garcia aspe? Blanco? Hernandez ..how the hell gio dos santos LOL

some silly errors..but good stuff..good to see someone else here with good knowledge.

 

I have enough forwards in this team so Luis Hernandez and Clautemoc Blanco could not be in the squad.

Giovanni Dos Santos is seems too early to include him but I don't think there will be any better AM to be included.

 

Blanco>>> Giovanni dos santos!!! OBV, Great job, Magico gonzales was a fantastic player!!!

 

Enrique Borja is obvious and big miss...
He had great career in Mexican national team ( 31 goals in 65 appearances ), and also three consecutive times top scorer of Mexican league in early 70s. I don't know how many goals he scored, but I always thought that he was really good striker. Second best player on this position from this country, only to Hugo Sanchez, no doubt. Prince Silver class, I think.

 

It is hard to rank Borja in the squad. His goal state seems very well but 60's was still easier to do score than late era. Errol Daniel, Horacio Casarin and Julio Cesar Dely Valdes was very famous as legend and even Carlos Hermisillo is not in this squad as well.

 

and Julio Cesar Dely Valdes was very famous as legend and even Carlos Hermisillo is not in this squad as well.

I was a fan of Dely Valdes.....surprised he only had 32 caps (but 22 goals) in his international career.

Some odd players chosen at the expense of some other big players (as already mentioned by previous posters...Blanco , Garcia Aspe etc)

PS: Claudio Suarez had 177 caps not 71

 

Magico Gonzalez of EL Salvador. What a great name. Great player as well apparently.

Looks pretty good, although I would argue that Mexico should have its own list, given the immense history of the game there and the fact that they are more often grouped with USA and Canada (at least in the past few decades) in North America, than with the Central American nations, who have their own tournaments



What a legend. roud: I'm not old enough to have seen him play (almost though, he had quite a long career), but I can tell you in my travels in El Salvador I have seen and heard of him quite a bit and now one of the biggest stadiums of the country bears his name.

 

Improve on Suarez' caps. I have surely remembered him as one of the most caps of all-time but some mistake was finally happen.

Blanco was more SS. I named Dos Santos in the squad because he seems to be most talent AM in history of Central Ameirca by far.

 

Wilson Palacios or David Suazo from Honduras? Paulo Wanchope from Costa Rica? Luis Hernandez from Mexico? Felipe Baloy from Panama? Bryan Ruiz from Cost Rica, who will go down as one of the best Central American players ever. And if you are going to name Dos Santos on what he could be than why leave out Carlos Vela?

Now I know not all of these kind make it because Mexico is clearly the power house but a few of those definitely should be on it.

 

I think this could be improved. There certainly wouldn't be Figueroa or Gio dos Santos. Blanco certainly over gio dos santos and even Carlos Salcido is better and greater than FIGUEROA. Also perhaps Borgetti or Hermosillo over Valdes. I also doubt Osorio is the greatest RB although he could be a squad player.

 

I think there could be more Mexicans. Maybe some of the player in this Mexico squad could make the squad.

Goalkeepers:
Antonio CARBAJAL
Jorge CAMPOS

Defenders:
Gustavo PENA
Claudio SUÁREZ
Rafael MARQUEZ
Arturo AYALA
Ignacio AMBRIZ
Raul CARDENAS
Jesus DEL MURO

Midfielders:
Manuel NEGRETE
Alberto Garcia ASPE
Benjamin GALINDO
Ramon RAMIREZ
Salvador REYES
Miguel ESPANA
Tomas BOY
Luis FUENTE

Attackers:
Hugo SANCHEZ
Jared BORGETTI
Cuauhtemoc BLANCO
Luis HERNANDEZ
Carlos HERMOSILLO
Horacio CASARIN

Maybe Ignacio AMBRIZ for Osorio and Negrete or Aspe in squad for José Mauricio Cienfuegos. Benjamín Galindo could also be in it.

 

By the way, Mexico is in North America, not central America mate.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Yeah, the problem is that I want to group these nations as they are Latin American and I have no idea what is the best name of the thread I should create.

 

Got you mate. IMO Mexico could have there own team. Then there are enough players from Central America to have its own team. Great work though mate. :thumbsup: It is slightly funny that people talked Giovanni Dos Santos on to the team. Heck if any new players sneaks on to the list that fast then it would have to be Chicharito (even though I am a Vela fan) but to me it is way to early for any of the 3.

 

Update ; Gutavo Pena is named as a starter RB according to this link

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA-Weltauswahl_des_20._Jahrhunderts

Giovanni Dos Santos, Maynor Figueroa and Ricardo Ossorio are named off. Carlos Salcido, Wilson Palacios and Hernan Medford come in.

 

I think Blanco and Garcia Aspe are the 2 players who should have been in the squad. I would even think of having Borgetti because of his legendary header.

 

I think Enrique Borja should be at least in squad-B
BTW, the Gilberto's picture seems wrong to me (Maradiaga's maybe?)

 

Gilberto's photo playing in La Liga

 

It should be true, I take it from sporting-heroes website and it indicate his name clearly.

 

Mexico in central america? somebody get this guy an atlas.

 

Well, it's all up to interpetation, really. I'm looking at an Atlas, and Mexico is part of that thin strip situated between north and south. Looks central to me. Culturally, I'd say, off hand, that Mexico has a lot more in common with Central America than the good ol' U.S. Of course that's changing with half of Mexico sneaking across the border. :smileani:

 

If you search google to find Gilberto Martinez, you will see a lot of pictures the same face as mine.

 

Who's Gilberto Martinez?

 

So you must mean Gilberto Yearwood. I first guess you refer to Gilberto Martinez who is one of the players in this squad.

Thanks for the true picture of Yearwood anyway. I have changed his picture.

 

:thumbsup:

Gilberto Yearwood was the star of the Honduras NT in WC'82, and by that time one of the best Latin American defenders playing in La Liga.

I'm not so sure if he also played as a DM.

 

He usually played as DM before switched to CB in his late career.

Look the video in minute 2:19 to 2:22
says about C. Reinoso: "the symbol more great in the history the club of America"
dice sobre C. Reinoso: "el simbolo más grande en la historia del club América.

The Chilean Carlos Reinoso is recognized as the best player of the History of Club America
Source official website of Club América:

My conclucion about these data:

The three largest of Club América de México.

N° 1 Carlos Reinoso
N° 2 Cuauhtémoc Blanco
N° 3 Alfredo Tena

The three most illustrious of Club América de México.

N° 1 Oscar Ruggeri
N° 2 Iván Zamorano
N° 3 Oman Biyik

 

The Goalkeeper should be Jorge Campos... I don't understand why Carbajal is better than him.

The defensive line is the ideal. But second Right-Back I think Ignacio "Nacho" Flores because Pavel Pardo is defensive midfielder. Also Ricardo Osorio.

Then Alberto García Aspe like defensive midfielder and Benjamin Galindo like central midfielder rather than Cárdenas and Yearwood.

I think is better Jesús "cabrito" Arellano than Luis de la Fuente or maybe Cuauhtemoc Blanco like ofensive midfielder-playmaker.

Finally, Cuauhtemoc Blanco should be forward rather than Morera.

I don't understand your clasification about Cuauhtemoc Blanco. He played in the strongest era (90's). He was the best player in the years: 1997, 1998, 1999 and 1st half of 2000, 2002, 2003 (with José Cardozo) and 1st half 2004, and maybe 2nd half of 2004 In fact, in 2006, before the World Cup 2006 he was better than majority of national mexican players. Finally he was the best player in 1st half 2007.

In National Team was the best player ever... in fact, México classified to World Cup 2002 thanks for him, similar situation like Zinedine Zidane to World Cup 2006.
