His response was a reaction to Bosnia's break of their deal to reveal teams ahead of their friendly earlier in the week. Both Mexico and Bosnia revealed their teams prior to the game, but when the Bosnia players took the field it was a completely different team than they had promised.

That ruined the preparations Mexico had made for the game, and left Herrera less than pleased.

For today's game, Cristiano Ronaldo will be rested as well as Raul Meireles and Pepe. However, apart from those three star players most of the rest of the team should be made up of players who are either starting or on the fringe of starting for Portugal's first game in the World Cup.

Mexico did not impress against Bosnia at all and they are far from where they want to be going into the tournament. They will want to see significant improvement today and look more like a side likely to go far in the World Cup. Up until now they look like they could disappoint in the group stages and be sent home early.
