Former Mexican World Cup players have expressed their support for a particular goalkeeper to be the starter. They prefer the Chivas goalkeeper to be the titular player for the upcoming match against Sudáfrica. The former players also praised the work of Javier Aguirre as the team prepares for the Mundial.

It appears that Memo Ochoa is not their first choice for the position. Further information on this development can be found in La Opinión, which reported on the opinions of the exmundialistas regarding the team's goalkeeper situation.
