World Cup 2010 Odds: Mexico 70-1 Longshots

Mexico World Cup Odds

Mexico was given an early wakeup call against England on Tuesday as El Tri lost 3-1 at Wembley Stadium with the lone goal coming from Guillermo Franco (West Ham) in the 45th minute. Although it is just an International friendly, Mexico's performance against one of the favorites in World Cup 2010 odds almost makes them a fitting longhot at 70-1 to win the tournament and +350 underdogs to win Group A against France, Uruguay and host country South Africa. Mexico committed more fouls (20) and had more yellow cards (3) than England but still couldn't find the net in Tuesday's loss.

It was the first time that Mexico allowed three goals in a game since their 3-1 loss to Honduras back in April of 2009. “I’m disappointed,” Carlos Vela (Arsenal) said after the loss. “We always try to win, but England made it difficult for us, as you would expect. They are a very good team. But we did well and we need to take the positives from the performance. We kept the ball extremely well, but we need to be more threatening from set-pieces and take our chances when they come.” Bet Mexico 70-1 as a longshot in 2010 World Cup odds to win the finals in South Africa.

Despite their loss to England, El Tri had been on a tear with three straight wins over somewhat lesser teams in Senegal, Angola and Chile. One issue that could be a problem for Mexico in their chances to advance in the latter rounds is the fact they will have lack of depth and experience at midfield. Miguel Sabah (Morelia) will not make the trip to South Africa still suffering from a tendon injury while Adolfo Bautista and Cuauhtemoc Blanco will be making their third and last finals appearance. The 37-year old and World Cup alumni (98, 02) Oscar Perez (Chiapas), has been called up by head coach Javier Aguirre to help fill in at goal with Guillermo Ochoa (America). Bet Mexico +350 as a longshot in World Cup 2010 odds to win the Group A bracket.
