For the Confederation of North, Central American and
Caribbean Association Football, it looks like its four representatives are
making a point in its level of football displayed so far, by two of its squads.
As this edition of the World Cup, being celebrated in Brazil
has been a test ground and with three of them already showing some of their
belligerence.
It’s the Mexican National or better known as El Tri, that
already demonstrated his attributes of being called the giant of this region,
with a convincing performance and win as well.
And although El Tri performed wonders in the field, a
sort of unjust ruling took them a couple of their scores, still that didn’t
stop the Bhoys of Manager Miguel Herrera for a well-deserved win!
I mean this squad not only netted its first three points,
but played with a level as its European counterparts and really lived to its
reputation.
With this win, it looks like this squad has found its
true winning identity, after having a disastrous eliminatory rounds, that
almost cost them their pass to Brazil and thanks to Team USA gift, they went to
play that playoff for the last spot.
The other squad in Costa Rica or Los Ticos, their
presentation was a pure demonstration of why this tiny Central American nation
has become a force not to be reckoning with.
Being seeded in a not so easy Group D along the likes of
England, Italy and Uruguay- La Sele really performed a wondrous and state of
the art match, were the Costa Ricans really played to win and looked like all
around contenders.
Cameroon and Uruguay were the victims in turn for this
squad’s, as the African Lions known for their might, weren’t a match for El Tri
and for La Sele dispatching a hardened and respectable Uruguay was a feat too.
Unfortunately that wasn’t the case for the Hondurans or
Catrachos as they didn’t showed any direction or ambition against an always
tough and difficult Bleus of French National Team who defeated them by a
humiliating 3-0 score.
Leaving the Yank’s
or Team USA as the only squad form this region, as the only one to showed of
this Confederations sudden emergence as well prove to the world of its might in
the beautiful game in their upcoming match and test on always difficult Ghana.
Mexico on the 6/17 will be put on another hard to swallow
test, going against the host and the whole of Brazil, in their second match
that anything can happen as El tri can upset the Verde Amarelah.
La Sele or Costa Rican squad their upcoming compromise with
the one and only favorite as always, the Azzurris or Italian national Team on
6/20, will be a test of endurance and determination for the Ticos.
At the end Concacaf is emerging with its squads a certain
level of competiveness as well becoming an exporter of various players as well
one day really surprise the football world by winning the big event in the
World Cup, were anything can be possible.
