HOUSTON, TEXAS (June 10, 2008) Mexico kicks off its 2008 World Cup Qualifying campaign against Belize on Sunday, June 15 at Reliant Stadium in Houston Texas. The game will probably mark the coaching debut of new Mexico coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.
The match will be the first FIFA World Cup qualifier to be played in Houston. The match is the first of a home-and-home series between the nations as they begin the quest to compete in the FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa in 2010.
Belize will be the home team for the match, as the second leg will be played in Mexico on Saturday, June 21.
This match marks the beginning of the second round of World Cup qualifying and will be the first time that Belize has played in Houston. Mexico on the other hand will be making their third trip to Houston in the last 12 months .
Last year Mexico beat Costa Rica 1-0 in Houston in front of over 70,000 fans, so expect tickets for this game to go fast.

Let us hope the Mexican side behaves itslf a little better in Houston than in Chicago. The difference between soccer and rugby? Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen...and soccer is a gentlemens game played by hooligans. Witness the behavior of the Mexicans as a case in point.
