Mexico will win this game this weekend. Currently fourth in the Concacaf (4th with 9 points from 6 games played) qualifying zone which is an unusual position for this football powerhouse the Mexican team is finally finding form. Having won their last two games (Match Played - August 12 2009 Mexico 2 - 1 United States,Match Played - June 10 2009 Mexico 2 - 1 Trinidad & Tobago) the team would be in high spirits to stamp their authority and climb higher on the table by winning. Both teams played each other on March 28, 2009 and the result was Mexico 2 - 0 Costa Rica. Costa Rica currently leading the Concacaf zone(1st with 12 points from 6 games played) will find it hard to deal with a rejuvenated Mexican team. Having lost their previous game and won the other game before the last the Costa Ricans would be feeling the pressure as they play in the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in front of their fans facing the mighty Mexicans. This might also be a advantage for them due to the massive crowd support they will received tomorrow. But i see a Mexican side being victorious tomorrow night. this next article will be my main reason for chosing Mexico "Mexico has qualified for thirteen World Cups and has qualified consecutively since 1994. Mexico's best progression was reaching the Quarterfinals in both the 1970 and 1986 FIFA World Cups, both of which were staged on Mexican soil." {information obtain from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_national_football_team}. As we can see Mexico has the pedigree to beat the Costa Ricans and qualify for the World Cup. Also with more of their players playing in the best leagues that surely will be an advantage. Tomorrow a lot of questions will be answered.
