Why It Won't Be Easy for Uruguay in the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup Final
Uruguay has a very solid offense, and with Elbio Alvarez and Guillermo Mendez, they are set to face the local squad, but it won't be an easy feat to accomplish for Los Charrúas.
Mexico is ready to play its second FIFA U-17 World Cup Final. The team, which has been called by local media as the "Golden Generation," is set to play against Uruguay at Estadio Azteca, one of the most impressive stadiums in the world.
El Azteca, with a 105,000 seat capacity, has hosted some of the greatest football matches in history, including the 1970 and 1986 FIFA World Cup final matches.
Mexico is a passionate country when it comes to El Tri, and if all those die-hard fans feel that their team has a chance of becoming World Champions, you should expect a lot of pressure, both when you have the ball and when you don't.
If major squads feel astonished when they jump into the field and see the spectators making La Ola or hearing Cielito Lindo as a one voice song, imagine what might happen to a U-17 team.
Today's match should be one of the most important games in Mexico's football history. People knew so from the very moment that Julio Gómez scored a bicycle-kick, regardless of the wound he got eight minutes later when he tried to push the ball with his head after a corner kick.
There won't be a single empty seat today; the stands will be green with white spots. Those will be the dressings fans will be wearing in honor of Gómez, the new Niño Héroe of Mexico.
