Mexico Football Fans

West Ham United manager David Moyes has come in the defence of Javier Hernandez following his struggles to claim a regular spot in the starting lineup. The Mexico international began the season as the first-choice striker under Slaven Bilic, and his brace against Southampton made him a fan favourite in the early phase of the campaign.

However, he has since netted on only two occasions, and the arrival of Moyes at the London Stadium have coincided with his demotion from the first XI. Hernandez has yet to make a league start under the tutelage of the former Everton manager, but the Scot nevertheless backs the Mexican to regain his form, just like Marko Arnautovic in recent weeks.

New West Ham United manager David Moyes has confirmed that Javier Hernandez could miss up to two weeks of first-team action after he suffered a hamstring injury during Mexico's 3-3 friendly draw versus Belgium earlier this month.

The 29-year-old has made a good return to the English top-flight with four goals scored in the opening 11 games. Speaking in the lead-up to the Watford clash, Moyes confirmed that Hernandez had incurred a muscular problem which could keep him out of first-team football for the next fortnight, he said: "I think everyone knows he [Chicharito] has got a hamstring injury. It could take a week, it could take two weeks."

Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has heaped praise on winger Hirving Lozano after he scored a brace in El Tri's 3-3 friendly draw versus Belgium at the King Baudouin Stadium. The 22-year-old moved from his native Pachuca to join PSV Eindhoven in the summer and has since excelled scoring nine goals in his first nine appearances in the Eredivisie.

Speaking after the game, Osorio was pleased with the attacker's contribution on the night and also acknowledged the efforts PSV have taken to groom several Mexican players including Andres Guardado, Hector Moreno, Carlos Salcido, and Francisco Rodriguez.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has admitted that it is 'almost impossible' to partner Andy Carroll alongside Javier Hernandez in the striking department.

The Hammers welcome Championship club Bolton Wanderers in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.The Hammers had made a poor start to the Premier League season with defeats in their opening three games, but they have since had a mini-revival with a victory with a win and a draw against Huddersfield Town and West Bromwich Albion respectively.

Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has admitted that his side's 1-1 draw against Costa Rica was probably the fair result, although he is gutted by his side's inability to hold onto the lead in the World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Nacional.

The North American outfit took the lead in the 42nd minute when Cristian Gamboa unintentionally put the ball into his own net after an amazing reflex save from Keylor Navas. Mexico looked on course to clinch their six victory of their qualifying campaign, but Marcos Urena denied them the opportunity with an equaliser for Los Ticos eight minutes from time. Costa Rica nearly clinched the winner in the dying seconds of the game when Johan Venegas hit the post. Speaking in his post match press conference, Osorio said: "We're left with a bad taste. We thought we had the game controlled."

Jamaica trounced the Mexican side by a sole goal to reach the Gold Cup final on Sunday.

Kemar Lawrence’s effort was enough to send El Tri out of the tournament as his late goal was enough. The semifinal loss adds more pressure on the Mexican team ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

The team lost scandalously to Chile 7-0 at the Copa America Centenario last year and they lost 4-1 to Germany at the Confederations Cup few weeks back. However the team remains sure to reach the finals of the world event next year.

West Ham United assistant manager Nikola Jurcevic has claimed that Javier Hernandez is still picking up his fitness after he joined the club late last month. The Mexico international, who was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m, last featured for 20 minutes during West Ham United's 3-3 draw versus Altona 93.

Following the game, Jurcevic admitted that the 29-year-old is not 100 percent fit, but he will evolve into an important player for West Ham United as the new season begins, he said: “He was a plus point from this game. He spent a few days with us and played about 20 minutes which was very important for him to feel how he will play with West Ham United. In this moment he is not 100 per cent physically fit but he is working hard and for him it was very important to play 20 minutes last night. He likes to have the ball in space, he is always on the offside line and he will be an important player for us"

West Ham United have reportedly stepped up their pursuit to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez following the lack of firepower in the forward department.

The club have been a hit or miss over the past year with Slaven Bilic struggling to find the right marksman to lead the line.

Olympique Lyonnais are currently facing the hard pill of getting themselves familiarized with the prospect of starting next season without the man that gifted them 100 Ligue 1 goals in the course of the last seven years.

Alexander Lacazette both town prodigy and local success story has decided against extending his stay. The 26-year old made it official as he issued a notice to the club’shierarchy immediately after the season came to an end.

Mexico are still on course for a spot in Russia next year despite the result against the United States.

Many did not expect much from EL Tri ahead of the Hex stage but after defeating the US in Columbus last year, they had a decent chance at making history.
