How come teams like Man U have so much sucess in scouting players from S America, and turn out some world class players, yet we seem to get the one's who can't come and perform. Is there so much difference between scouting methods. Javier Hernandez scored a hat-trick as a rampant Mexico crushed El Salvador 5-0 in front of 80,000 fans at Cowboys Stadium in their Gold Cup opener on Sunday. After a goalless first half, the Mexicans scored four goals inside 12 minutes early in the second and sent out a clear message they will not surrender their CONCACAF crown without a fight. Hernandez's goals were hardly among the classiest he will score but they were another reminder that the 23-year-old, who scored 20 goals in all competitions in his debut season for Manchester United, is becoming one of the sharpest poachers around. It was also the perfect gift for the massive Mexican-American crowd that turned out to welcome 'El Tri' to Texas. "Its unbelievable the support that we have from Mexicans who live here," Hernandez told reporters. "You can see it here - 80,000 people and most of them in green shirts and it means a lot to us. "The most important thing for me is the three points, I don't care if I score, sometimes I won't - the main thing is we won," said the striker.
Hernandez was an amazing find for Man Utd. I suppose it all boils down to the scouts judgement. If truth be known, they probably only get it right one in a thousand players. ....and then there's the likes of Hernandez, a one in a million player.
