The Mexican team, you just deal with Venezuela in Texas, will play against Colombia in Florida, against Wales in New York and against Bosnia in Illinois
Over 20 million Mexican Americans live in the U.S.
America is the second `home´ of the Mexican national soccer team. Not for nothing is the country where more Mexicans living abroad: more than 20 million among US-born of Mexican descent and those from Mexico residing in a licensed or authorized in the northern neighbor.
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) takes the desire to soccer (called `soccer´ to Americans) and negligible purchasing power of the `Chicano´ to organize dozens of friendlies in the U.S. that provide excellent collections.
Whatever the city `Yankee´ where you play the `Tri´ , fill the stadiums of enthusiastic fans conveniently armed with T-shirts, flags, hats and anything that will approach his beloved Mexico. To which are added the thousands of `hot dogs´, hamburgers, sandwiches, burritos and cold beverages are consumed within and outside the stadium. A colossal business.
Not yet played a friendly match last week of the Mexican national soccer team in Houston (Texas), where the FMF has already confirmed the dates for two new meetings in the U.S.. The combined Jose Manuel `Chepo´ de la Torre will play against Wales on May 27th against Bosnia Herzegovina four days later.
The Wales match will be played at Stadium Metlife, New York, and Bosnia, at Soldier Field, Chicago. Before, the `Tri´ will play a game that was already confirmed for February 29 in Miami against Colombia. The three commitments are part of the preparation for a World Cup Brazil 2014.
This year the Mexican soccer primary goals is to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, which failed in 2008, and successfully face a World Cup Brazil 2014, where the `Tri´ aims to reach at least quarters -finals.
Mexico, which last week beat Venezuela 3-1 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, will debut in World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF on June 8 against Guyana. The game will be played, of course, in Mexico, although not yet confirmed.
