By IVOR YORKE

Those gay, soccer-loving caballeros from Mexico could hardly have chosen For though the a worse moment to test the might of English soccer. Mexicans are bound to be equally as fiery and volatile as England's previous competitors from the Americas, there remains little doubt that they are in for a sound thrashing.

The two countries have met on one previous occasion, during England's ill-fated American tour of 1959, when the Mexicans won 2-1 before 80,000 delighted fans.
