Mexico 1 - 0 Angola

For the full match report see the Mexico 1 - 0 Senegal post below. Change the name Perez for Ochoa, substitute Houston for Chicago, add that Andres Guardado, rumoured to be possibly leaving Deportivo La Coruña for the Premier League, was excellent and voila, you start to get the picture of the night.

Again, playing against an Angolan second team (ranked 85 in the world), Mexico pressed and huffed and puffed but never really convinced. Angola even had chances in the last ten minutes to equalise. Guardado got the goal early in the second half after a good cross from the right from Alberto Medina, who was otherwise largely ineffectual.

Aguirre said before the game that "We are playing as I want," and defensively one can't really complain about three clean sheets out of three. But the fans want more, the press wants more and pressure is building on those key players that will join the squad over the next week from Europe: Rafael Marquez, Giovanni Dos Santos, Carlos Vela, Carlos Salcido, Guillermo Franco.

Full credit to the Mexican fans that again showed up in force to support the team - over 70,000. The Mexican Football Federation may be making a lot of money from tours like this to the United States and the games may well be meaningless but the Mexican-Americans, Mexicans, Chicanos, call them what you will, make the United States a second home for the Mexican national team.

It's just been a shame over these last few games that Mexico hasn't give them more to shout about.

ChicharitoWatch: Manchester United's new boy Javier Hernandez came on with 15 minutes remaining. He scuffed a half chance but again generally looked bright and threatened.
