But the problem here is that Salcido is healthy, Osorio is healthy, only Marquez is injured, he has just decided not to play them. So that falls squarely on Hugo's shoulder. THat and the fact that this man promised us a World Championship (we know he can't deliver, but the bar was set by himself) and spent the whole term of Ricardo LaVolpe, basically going on the newspapers and criticizing every move the guy did, and calling him a failure because he went and lost to Portugal.... Portugal not Honduras.
THe problem with Sanchez is that he talks the talk, but when it is time to walk the walk, he is not willing to hear any criticism for his lack of results. Add to that that the team is not only loosing, but not playing well while loosing, add to that that the guy waltzes into the managerial position without having enough experience to actually be the manager (his resume is that he coached Pumas for 3 seasons, and coached Necaxa for one month, in that time he won 2 championships with Pumas, but that is all he has done) and yet he got the Team basically beccause he is a big name, and people love him because he is the greatest Soccer PLAYER (I stress player because greatest coach belongs to Javier el Vasco Aguirre) and because he had created such a situation in which they knew that if they hired anyone else, he would be on their case throughout the 4 years, which considering the fact that he is immensely popular, would be hard on marketing.
There are few things you have to do to keep MExicans happy, one is you can't loose to the US, I know the US has dominated us, but still it has cost people their job already, and will continue to do so... Hugo's first game as a coach was a loss to the US. And the other one, which is even bigger is that you can't, unless you are playing a soccer great, loose in Estadio Azteca, Hugo's first game as a coach in Estadio Azteca was a loss. I don't care if he was the greatest mexican player that ever lived, he was not ready to coach the national team, we where promised a serious review, they where saying they would hire people like Scolari, Hiddink, Marcello Lippi, Marcelo Bielsa, Klinsmann, and they went after none of those, they handed the job to Hugo. So he better be ready to accept the criticism that comes with it, and not throw out stupid excuses like the field was a bad field, and Blanco got thrown out of the game.
It is our responsability to WIN the Gold Cup, anything less than that, and no matter the circumstances, the Gold Cup is a failure.
