Moment of truth for Mexico's soccer team, and coach

November 19, 2008 |  9:19 am

The Times' Grahame L. Jones reports:

"I have not at any moment had doubts that Mexico would be at the World Cup in South Africa in 2010."

So said Sven-Goran Eriksson a week ago, and now comes the moment of truth for Mexico's Swedish-born coach.

If his team loses to Honduras in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on Wednesday and Jamaica defeats Canada by a large enough margin in Kingston, Mexico will not be going to the World Cup and Eriksson very likely would be on the first flight back to Stockholm.
