World Cup 2010: Mexico-Argentina Predictions Goal.com's Mexico staff break down and give their thoughts on Mexico-Argentina.

Mexico and Argentina will meet in the Round of 16 once more. Here's how Goal.com's Mexico staff looks at the match.

Andrea Martinez

How much progress did Mexico show in the group stage?

Mexico has shown much progress going through the group stage. The team seemed to go through an ascent during the first two games, although it took a dip against Uruguay. Though Aguirre may not be keen on lining them up, the best players and substitutes were clearly defined in these games. Also, the availability of one the most important members of the team, Efrain Juarez, for the upcoming match Mexico can get back to how they were performing and hopefully continue on the incline.

What must improve?

Several things must improve before the game on Sunday, but one of the most important things is to not leave too many spaces. Previous teams did not fully take advantage of this against Mexico, but Argentina’s offense takes full advantage of things like these so it will be something that Mexico has to watch.

What does Mexico have going for them against Argentina?

Like Rafael Marquez mentioned in his press conference, one of Argentina’s weaknesses is their defense. Like in many of their other games, one of Mexico’s biggest advantages is their speed. All of the attention when watching Argentina may focus on their players up top and their individualities, but defensively they’re not that strong. They only let in one goal during the group stages, but they weren’t tested in the same way that Mexico might test them on Sunday. Mexico also has a good mix of players that were there for the 2006 loss, and players that were not; the older players can try and play for that revenge(no matter how much they may say it’s not revenge) and those that have a clean slate to make history against Argentina.

What is Mexico's biggest weakness heading into Sunday?

Argentina’s main attraction is Lionel Messi, and Mexico’s biggest weakness is seeming to focus too much on just that one player. Some of the focus is justifiable; he is one of the best players in the world. But, focusing just on Messi will kill Mexico. He’s shown that he can take on the markings of more than one player at a time, but all resources should not be wasted on him. If Messi is not the one making the goals or giving the passes, there are several other players on the team that can do that as well; just ask Gonzalo Higuain.

Port Elizabeth South Africa - Africa still has the representation of its first World Cup victory thanks to Ghana during overtime of the United States.

Guardado raring to go again

What fascinates me, is the opening. Everyone will look at us and I believe that no country wants to have this opportunity.

Andres Guardado Mexico

What do you think of the group in Mexico in South Africa?
It will be difficult. The host country always tend to do well in the World Cup. Then there is France, which will of [Yoann Gourcuff], [Franck] Ribery and William [Gallas] have. And while the Uruguayans have never reached the finals in good condition is always very difficult to oppose. What fascinates me, is the opening. The world will be watching and I think that any country would want to have this opportunity.

There is always a tremendous amount of pressure on Mexico when they play. Is that more players?

Yes, of course. Try to keep your work and put everything out, but the whole country stops when the national team plays. Sometimes people do not understand the level of passion among the fans of Mexico. The cities are like ghost towns, each TV with the game in Mexico and all the presenters on TV, but not sporting events, dress shirts from Mexico. Everyone has an opinion, and of course, that creates pressure for us. Our job is to get the head and calm as possible on the ground trying.

To what extent do you think this team can go?
I have no limits. There are always surprises in football, and although probably no one gives us a good chance of reaching the next round or quarter-finals, we are confident that we can draw from the World Cup.
