Portugal v Mexico - Starting Line-Ups - Deco & Pauleta Start For Scolari, Bolton's Borgetti on Lavolpe's Bench

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Wed, 21/06/2006 - 14:21.

Deco, Costinha and Pauleta are starting on the bench for Portugal after receiving bookings in their 2-0 win over Iran in the opening Group D fixture and if they were to pick up another card, would miss the first knockout match against either Argentina or the Netherlands.

Mexico will be without striker Jared Borgetti. The Bolton Wanderers striker picked up a hamstring injury in Mexico's first World Cup group match against Iran.

Mexico start with Francisco Rodriguez, Luis Perez and Jose Fonseca for Guillermo Franco, Gerrardo Torrado and Zinha, who all start on the bench.
