Mexico Vs. Serbia, 2011 International Friendly: Lineups And Live Match Thread

One month ago, Mexico held a second half lead against mighty Brazil but couldn't close out the victory. Playing in front of a home crowd in Torreon, El Tri conceded two late goals en route to a disappointing 1-2 defeat. The result gave Jose Manuel de la Torre his first ever loss as national team manager in a game that also happened to be his first time coaching Mexico on home soil. Tonight will be his second. El Tri and De la Torre play their second consecutive match in Mexico, where they take on Serbia at Estadio Corregidora in Queretaro.
In their final match of 2011 -- a year that will go down as one of the most successful in national team history -- Mexico look to rebound from that October 11th loss to Brazil. El Tri again bring out a strong lineup to face off against a talented Serbia side currently ranked just one spot below Mexico in the FIFA rankings (Mexico is currently 22nd, Serbia 23rd). With their talented attack, Mexico also hopes to produce a bit more scoring than in recent showings. In their past four friendlies (against the United States, Poland, Chile, and Brazil) Mexico has scored just one goal in each match. Will this be the long-awaited breakout attacking performance? Tune in to find out. Starting lineups for both teams and television information for Mexico vs. Serbia can be found below.
Mexico lineup (4-2-3-1): Alfredo Talavera; Carlos Salcido, Francisco Rodriguez, Hector Moreno, Efrain Juarez; Israel Castro, Jesus Zavala; Andres Guardado, Giovani Dos Santos, Pablo Barrera; Javier Hernandez.
Serbia lineup: Stojkovic, Ninkov, Ivanovic, Rajkovic, Kolarov, Kacar, Kuzmanovic, Ninkovic, Krasic, Jovanovic, Zigic.
The match kicks off from Estadio Corregidora in Queretaro at 9:10 pm eastern (8:10 pm local time in Queretaro), with television coverage in the United States on Univision.

have to say I do too.
Like to see Zavala and Castro getting another run out as the DM pairing. Lets see if they can improve upon their showing against Chile.
that said, Zavala need to really show something tonight
if he wants to grab this spot for the future
Nice crowd...
Making me want to get back to Queretaro!!

As a USMNT fan the growing gap between the teams makes me sad.
I used to really like watching Mexico and even liked when they won when the two teams were dead even. Not anymore.

It is astounding
how fast that happened….I watched most of FRA-USA today and…pretty horrifying. Things i did not expect to be saying include the observation that they need Michael Bradley in there immediately…

Well first he punched some dude in a parking lot I think. When he blamed it on his cousin. Then the head-butt the trainer from Morelia.

Good match
My highlight was the end of the first half when Serbia picked up a card and announcer did that loud “amarillovich!”
