    Mexico Alert...5 players just popped positive on drug test

    The Little Pea isn't involved, but the Goalkeeper and others are:

    I've been watching on the internet! On ESPN said that they have the theory of contaminated meat!

    In any case the Mexican Futbol Federation is a fvcking disgrace!

    If the case is contaminated meat it's all cause of the federation,

    Also this is the 4th time Mexico is involved in a case of doping.

    The last time was in Confederations cup in 2005 and before that where 2 cases.

    Obviously, I don't know squat about what the details are...but when 5 pop positive that definitely makes you wonder if they did get something involving contaminated meat. Alberto Contador used that excuse a few months ago in Cycling. Personally, I think that's one hell of a reach...but it's probably all they have

    Mexico by large is a stretch now in my humble opinion

    what the expert says (me)


    the players are not important

    goalkeeper can be replaced by another very good keeper.. all in all it will weaken them only very little

    one player was important but can be replaced so that it won´t matter alot

    all in all squadwise it weakens mexico only a little bit.

    maybe they are weakened mental a little bit

    no catastrophe !

    don't think this will hurt them at all against cuba, but perhaps the tournament?

    I don't know what the expert say about replacing players, but i need an explanation why Cuba or Draw has 1.062 odds when they have 26 odds for the win. Makes no sense to me ...

    Cuba win - 26 odds
    Draw - 10 odds
    Mexico - 1.083 odds

    bet365

    EDIT : They fixed the odds. Now 1X is 8.50.

    As long as Chicarito, Guardado, Marquez, Dos Santos and De Nigiris are fit and can play Mexico is still the co-favorite.

    12 year-old girls can win 2-1 against Cuba.
