Bofo, Chicharito and Guardado surprise starters
Sunday, June 27, 2010
It appears Mexico coach Javier Aguirre has caved into the media pressure and will start the game against Argentina with Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Andres Guardado.
The biggest surprise came with the news Guadalajara Chivas forward Adolfo 'Bofo' Bautista will also start.
Bofo was poor in warm up games and was even booed in the farewell game in the Estadio Azteca against Chile.
Chivas owner Jorge Vergara this week called for his inclusion but at the time it seemed unlikely at best.
Bofo is a flair player that will be looking to open up Argentina's shaky defense. Not the quickest player, he has played exceptionally well in the past against Argentine opposition in the Copa Libertadores.
Aguirre, as usual, has sprung a major surprise.
Mexican pundits have called for the inclusion of Guardado and Chicharito since the Uruguay game.
Line-up in full: Óscar Pérez, Rafael Márquez, Ricardo Osorio, Francisco Javier Rodríguez, Carlos Salcido, Efraín Juárez, Gerardo Torrado, Andrés Guardado, Adolfo Bautista, Giovani dos Santos, Javier Hernández.
