Oswaldo Sanchez's play in goal was a big reason why Mexico made it to the second round of soccer's World Cup four years ago. Which is one reason why Sanchez thinks he should be wearing the tricolores again this summer in South Africa when Mexico opens play in the 2010 tournament against the host nation on June 11.
"I've been in three World Cups. And I'd like to go to a fourth," Sanchez said. "But I have to play well for that to happen."
So far, that hasn't happened. With Memo Ochoa, one of the world's top young goaltenders, virtually guaranteed the starting job for Mexico in South Africa, Sanchez, 36, entered the winter needing some big performances to catch the eye of Mexican Coach Javier Aguirre, who could use an experienced veteran backup to help mentor Ochoa.
