ARLINGTON, Texas—Giovani Dos Santos and Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez both scored in the first half as Mexico beat Brazil 2-0 on Sunday in a final warm-up for the Mexicans before World Cup qualifying. Andre Tippett Womens Jersey . It was the second straight game in which Mexicos top two forwards each scored, indicating the Mexican attack is in top form at the right time. Mexico plays Guyana on Friday to open the semifinal round of World Cup qualifying in the CONCACAF region. “This game served us well in our plans for qualifying,” Mexico coach Jose Manuel de la Torre said through a translator. “We killed two birds with one stone in beating a strong opponent and preparing ourselves for qualifying.” Dos Santos opened the scoring in the 22nd minute on an unlikely conversion from a difficult angle near the sideline. The Tottenham forward chipped the ball from the left side of the box into the upper corner of the right side, beating goalkeeper Rafael Cabral, who was making his second start for Brazil. Brazil coach Mano Menezes dismissed the shot as a “fortunate” strike. “Giovani was crossing it into the box and scored,” Menezes said. Ten minutes later, Dos Santos again was in the middle of the action. Brazilian defender Juan Jesus took him down inside the box, a clumsy foul because Dos Santos back was to the goal. On the penalty kick, Cabral guessed correctly, but Hernandezs strike found the net. Brazil fielded a young squad of under-23 players in preparation for the upcoming Olympics in London. This particular squad was in just its third game together and found itself trailing for the first time. “In the first half, we needed more calm,” Menezes said. “When it was 0-0, we needed to slow down and show more patience. But this is normal with young players.” Rob Gronkowski Camo Jersey .

Obviously, it doesnt change anything. But you have to understand that he is a part of our team. Our concern is with he and his familys well-being. “I will answer no questions about what happened, or details, or anything of that nature. “I am pleased with our team, with our mental toughness, with our ability to focus, with our ability to approach the task at hand, despite the circumstances that were laid in front of them Saturday morning.” The Giants suspended Burress four games and ended his season by placing him on the non-football injury list Tuesday in the wake of the aaccidental shooting early Saturday morning at a New York City night club. Vince Wilfork Blue Jersey. Burress recently surrendered to authorities and was arraigned on a pair of weapons charges after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh and spending a night in a New York hospital. Giants team doctors examined Burress on Tuesday and determined that the gunshot wound would keep the receiver sidelined for at least four weeks. This marks Burress second suspension of the season, having missed the October 2 game against Seattle after being suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. For the season, Burress has 35 receptions for 454 yards with four touchdowns. Its been a whirlwind few months for Burress, who signed a contract extension just before the teams season-opener against the Redskins in September. He went on to register 10 catches for 133 yards against Washington, but his numbers have dropped considerably in the face of double teams, his earlier suspension and injury. ’ ’ ’
