The theory US values and customs are encroaching more and more on traditional Mexican norms got further hard evidence today with photos being released of Mexican goalkeepers practicing for Thursday's big game by throwing around American footballs.
While the American version of football is becoming increasingly popular south of the border, nobody knew that the fever was prevalent within Mexico's 'soccer' team.
Jokes aside, the justification is that the flight path of an American football isn't too different from the Jabulani World Cup ball that is causing so much media fuss and goalkeeper misery.
Personally, I think it might be more useful to practice with the same kind of ball to be used on Thursday, not an oval shaped one; but I'm no expert on these things.
