JAVIER AGUIRRE is confident his Mexico side can spoil host nation South Africa’s party when the two sides come up against each other in the 2010 FIFA World Cup opener at Soccer City at 3pm today.
The eyes of the world are on Johannesburg where football’s biggest spectacle is finally set to kick-off.
In what is expected to be a tightly-contested Group A, which also includes France and Uruguay, the Mexicans are feeling bullish about their chances and their coach knows the importance of overcoming the first hurdle.
He said: “Mexico is doing well, we feel very confident, we’ve worked very hard, we are highly motivated and we are convinced we can do well on the field against South Africa. So we feel that it’s going to be a great day for Mexico.
“We’ve been focusing on this game since December when we were chosen to play in the opening match.”
