Mexico's Miguel Herrera had this to offer ahead of today's international friendly on American soil (via Goal): "It was a great sign [our performance against Chile] and it was against a strong rival, but we have to keep working. I cannot classify certain types of players. Here there are no European or Guatemalans. There are Mexicans. Today, I would give all of them [a rating of] an eight. I cannot give them a higher rating because we scored no goals."
"We're upset we did not win the game, but we have to seize the opportunities," he added. "The team showed very good things. Matches must be played at this intensity, but the point of this game is to score goals."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Earning his first start for the Mexican national team is Erick Torres. The 21-year-old is among the league leaders in MLS with 14 goals scored. He'll look to continue his scoring form internationally.
Mexico's Projected Lineup (5-3-2): Munoz; Pizarro, Mier, Ayala, Venegas, Layun; Aquino, Rios, Fabian; Orozco, Torres
