Arlington, Texas - Mexico's biggest supporter this weekend in its Gold Cup quarterfinal against Haiti will be coach Javier Aguirre - who won't be on the sideline.
Aguirre, serving the second of a three-game suspension for an in-game altercation with Panama player Ricardo Phillips during group play last week, needs Mexico to win on Sunday.
Otherwise, he still will be out during a World Cup qualifier against archrival United States next month.
Aguirre said all he wanted to in a statement of apology last week posted on the Mexican Football Federation's Web site. He declined to elaborate about his suspension on Wednesday during a news conference at the new Cowboys Stadium.
The Gold Cup games will be the first sporting event at the $1.15 billion stadium. |
