Viva Mexico!

So farewell, Ricardo la Volpe. Nice name by the way.

You were the Mexican coach, although they said you were once an Argentinian goalkeeper.

During Mexico's first match, you had a fag in the dug-out. FIFA put a stop to that.

You wore execrable ties. Tonight, you combined a jacket and tie with an old pair of jeans. Still, it was better than the Argentinian coach's blue suit and oxblood shoes.

I'm not sure that I would like to meet you in a dark alley in Mexico City or Buenos Aires.

But you produced a football team that gave us some excitement. And for that, ta much.

Vaya con Dios, Senor la Volpe.
