Brazilian club Sao Paulo have announced that Juan Carlos Osorio has left the club to become the manager of the Mexico National Team.
Osorio, a native Colombian, has coached at Sao Paulo since earlier this year. He has had stints with the Chicago Fire, New York Red Bulls, Liga MX side Puebla and various Colombian clubs. He is a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University.
Mexican teams have grown used to playing in the FIFA Club World Cup. The way they achieve that ticket is by winning CONCACAF Champions League, a tournament that finishes almost 6 months before the World Cup.

Miguel Herrera, the man known for his charismatic behavior, fiery temper, and for his quality work as a Head Coach is already being eyed by a potential suitor for his next job. Major League Soccer side, Chicago Fire. The Club has its eyes on El Piojo and may try to land him as their next head coach.
Mexico international and LA Galaxy attacker Giovani dos Santos has an injury, according to Mexico manager Tuca Ferretti, and will miss the USA-Mexico playoff match. The dos Santos injury was first heard of by The18 through Grant Wahl.

Yesterday Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes. We do not need to explain to you how awesome that is. We were sitting there watching the game, and it was 1-0 Wolfsburg at half time. One of our coworkers went to the bathroom. When he came back, Lewandowski had been subbed on and it was 5-1 to Bayern.
Meanwhile, in Mexico...
Chicharito Hernandez has opened his Bundesliga account. The Mexican striker scored his second goal for Bayer Leverkusen (he got his first in the Champions League last week) against Mainz Wednesday.

I am not one to say "I told you so."
That was a bold-faced lie. I am totally one to say "I told you so," and that's why I am saying "I told you so."
Or, rather, I almost told you so.
Some months ago I wrote an article that argued the merits of Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona and joining Liga MX side Queretaro.
Stranger things have happened, but it's not looking good for Mexican midfielder Andres Guardado's chances of playing in the Confederations Cup playoff Oct. 10 against the United States.
As Luke Shaw’s horrific injury continues to move further and further into the past, everyone involved seems to be doing their best to remind everybody to have some faith in humanity.
Luke Shaw immediately tweeted out a display of a resolve after the injury.
Thank you everyone for your messages , words can't describe how gutted I am , my road to recovery starts now, I will come back stronger.
A Dutch newspaper reported Thursday that Mexico captain Andres Guardado would be out for approximately six weeks because of an ankle injury he suffered against Manchester United in the Champions League Tuesday.
This is a big blow to Mexico, as that time frame puts the midfielder out for Mexico's Confederations Cup playoff Oct. 10 against the United States.
