Nifty title huh. Got it yet? The pun was too good to let pass. Just as the huge poster covering the entire side of a tower block was too good not to photograph. Some love him, others hate him. Some think he’s too old, others think he still has plenty to give. Regardless of all that he is still the number one name in the Mexican team, and Lala knows it.

Will he actually start a game in the World Cup, or will he have to settle for substitute appearances? I doubt he cares so much. At 37, he’ll just be delighted to be there at all. The bigger question is, who will start for Mexico up front? Hernandez, Dos Santos, Medina, Vela and Franco are all competing. So many competitors, so little end result. So far….

Edit: I press the publish button and two seconds later Chicharito scores. He can head a ball that boy.
