I finally found out one of the main problems with Mexican football: they tend to brag too much about themselves.
Pachuca is here in Japan ready to play in the quarter-finals FIFA Club World Cup against Tunisian team Etoile du Sahel. Reading some of the on-line articles from Mexican journalists it seems clear that most of them are already talking about the game against Boca Juniors and in one of the articles coach Enrique Meza stated that Pachuca came here to win the tittle.
Are you kidding me???
How can you be so sure your team is ready to make it to the finals Mr. Meza? Pachuca played more than 90 games this year. The team is tired. On Friday they managed to lost to United Chiba, with a score of 4 x 2.
I just think it would be advisable to be more careful with the words not to sound too arrogant and feed your opponent with reasons to be more motivated to play against you, right?
Well, I must say. I defintly don’t see Pachuca beating Boca Juniors and I wouldn’t even be surprised if the good and organized team of Etoile du Sahel gives Pachuca an early ticket back to Mexico.
Mark my words!

Creo que ahora ya se qual es de los principales problemas con el futbol mexicano: Los jugadores pensam que son mas grandes que todos el resto del mundo.
CD Pachuca estas aqui en Japon para jugar en los quartos-de-final del Mundial de Clubes de la FIFA contra el equipo tunecino de Etoile du Sahel. Yo estaba leendo algunos de los articulos on-line de periodistas mexicanos e quedo claro que grand parte de ellos ya hablam del juego contra Boca Juniors y en uno de los articulos el DT Enrique Meza afirmo que Pachuca esta en Japon para ganar el torneo.
Es una broma???
Como uno puede estar tan certo que su equipo va a jugar la final Senor Meza? Pachuca ya jugo mas de 90 partidos este ano. El equipo esta cansado. Viernes Pachuca jugo a United Chiba (un equipo japones) y perdio por 4 a 2.
Yo solamente creo que eso ya seria un buen motivo para tener mas cuidados com las palavras. Porque cuando se utilza de la arrogancia eso puede se tornar una motivacion extra para que su oponente tenga mas ganas para jugar contra usted, cierto?
Bueno, tambien los digo que no creo que Pachuca tenga un equipo en condiciones de vencer a Boca Juniors y tambien no me quedaria supreso se el bueno e organizado equipo de Etoile du Sahel regale Pachuca un ticket temprano para Mexico.
Guarden mis palavras!

Mexico is no arrogance. We have good team and Pachuca can win this competition!
It is football. Everybody was supposed to have a chance to win. But in that case, I would say it is a great surprise. There is something about mexican football, dont know exactly what, but I cant see
them winning an international tournament like that. Anyway, the day it happens, it is going to be nice,
