Mexico's Dilemma

Mexico's roster for next Wednesday's friendly against Bolivia has been announced, and it is heavy on really talented players who've not been able to crack the national team ranks with any consistency in the past. (He lacks the profile of his fellow goalies, but I think Jonathan Orozco at his best is as good as than any other keeper in Mexico.) The new face everyone is most excited about is Javier Chicharito Hernández, a 21-year-old who can't stop scoring goals (eight in five games) for a Chivas team that can't stop winning (18 points in six games, their best start in more than half a century).

Hernández and another of the forwards on the list, Aldo de Nigris, reflect what promises to be a tough decision for Mexico; should they rely on potential superstar European talents like Carlos Vela, who's played relatively well but sparingly for Arsenal, or Mexico-based players like Hernández and de Nigris, whose prestige might be lesser but whose nose for the net is more finely tuned at this point? Maybe it's dilemmas like these that are driving Aguirre out of Mexico.
