Voy Por Ustedes

In midweek my boys, my lads, my boys Mexico beat the might of North Korea in a friendly. This was without their European based players and perhaps this was reflected in the modest 2-1 score line, but personally I think that's not a bad result. Playing aliens is harder than you might think.

My pick for top goal scorer in the World Cup scored a great goal and 37 year old Temo Blanco a good free-kick, but without sounding height-ist, it's perhaps easier to lift the ball over a North Korean wall consisting five players all under 5ft 8 than say a European team's wall with several 6-footers.

As good a goal as this looked, Blanco cannot start any World Cup games if Mexico are to reach the Quarter Finals and give England a shellacking. He's too old and he's playing in the Mexican second division. Short of experience they may be, but I'd prefer a team of whipper snappers to lumping Blanco in their purely because he's the only one who's seen a grown woman naked.

On a more serious note, Skybet have added Javier Hernandez to their World Cup top scorer market. Others have said they will too, but haven't gotten around to it yet. At 125/1 he's a great bet. He'll definitely be playing in Europe this time next year. Hopefully at Arsenal. He'll have a corking World Cup, which is essentially a shop window, and the Spanish and Eye-Talians will be lining up to win his signature.
