Last Tuesday a list of participating players, for the Match against Colombia, was given by The National Teams Committee (Mexico) . This list is particularly mentioning the names of the ones who play out of Mexico, such as European Clubs and/or MLS Clubs.
There will be 11 of them who will try to input all of their well-earned experience an technique against the “Cafeteros” (Colombian National Team) .
As one of the highlights of the list from the Mexican team, would be Carlos Vela (Real Sociedad) who is returning to the National Team since March of 2011, though he was called to play in Copa America 2011, his club did not allow him to go. Additionally, after a few disagreements between his father and the Mexican Football Federation (FEMEXFUT) the young player Jonathan Dos Santos (Barcelona) will be back.
Many Mexican fans were also expecting the return of a almost turned-off star Nery Castillo (Aris FC) whom after giving discipline problems in almost every club he would step in has seem to settle in Greece. Opposite to Nery’s great moment Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham Spurs) and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández (Manchester United) have been called by what they have shown in the last few months.
The List:
Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham Hotspur, England)
Efraín Juárez (Celtic FC, Scotland)
Carlos Vela (Real Sociedad, Spain)
Héctor Moreno (Espanyol, Spain)
