Mexico Football Team
Peru Football Team
Copa America 2011 today will face Mexico vs Peru. Both teams are seriously lacking in attacking talent and both teams are in seriously in need of a win to have a good chance at advancing. Mexico and Peru are both participating in the 2011 Copa America without their best attacking players, but in their 1st games, they fared differently.
Mexico are fielding a youth team for the tournament, with Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez also out of contention and they seem to be paying the price and are sitting bottom of their group, Mexico enters the game several degenerate morale loss in the first round of Chile 2-1
Peru got a little luckier, as a seemingly brilliant and stacked Uruguay side played poorly en route to a 1-1 draw against the Peruvians. Peru are Two-time Copa America runners-up, (they won twice in the tournaments previous guise as the South American Championship) and while they don’t (quite) deserve the title “sleeping giants” they have a great chance to cause a surprise this year, starting with Mexico.
Peru are without both Jefferson Farfan and Claudio Pizarro, who are almost certianly their best two attacking players. Their goal scorer against Uruguay was Paolo Guerrero, a man who has played very little football over the last two seasons after a promising start to his career in the Bundesliga.
