Mexicos World Cup may have been di sapointing but British managers did recognise some of the brighter aspects of their tournament. Three players have already cro sed the atlantic from the Primera Division De Mexico and a few more may follow.Javier Chicharito Hernandez had already moved from Chivas Guadalajara to Manchester United before leaving for South Africa and his displays in the tournament auger Blake Parker Jersey  well for the Old Trafford ma ses. The striker scored twice against France and Argentina despite being criminally underused by his national coach and he made a scoring debut for his new club yesterday against a Major Soccer League select. At only 22 he was maybe viewed as a longer term prospect but he may burst onto the Premier League if he can handle the more physical, rough and tumble of the British game.ChicharitoWest Ham United wasted no time in securing the services of winger Pablo Barrera in the aftermath  Anthony Rendon Jersey of the World Cup. Despite being used as a impact substitute for Mexico he impre sed with his direct running style and close control. At price tag of 4 million he could be seen as a bargain basement buy however his performances suggest a lot more. In recent seasons he has impre sed since rising through the youth ranks of Universidad Nacional of Mexico City (PUMAS).Pablo BarreraEfrain Juarez surprised many when he opted to move to the Scottish Premier League and Celtic. This versatile player can play at right back or right midfield and is known for his combative style. Alike Justin Upton Jersey  Hernandez he was snapped up at early age by Barcelona but early promise was not realised. Upon returning to Mexico he slowly progre sed with Pumas helping them to win last seasons Clausura and cementing a place in the national squad. Despite some noises of interest from around Europe Celtic were the only team to make a concrete offer and snapped him up on a 4 year contract.Efrain JuarezAll three players were products Martin Maldonado Jersey  of a succe sful Mexican Under 20s squad that also included the likes of Arsenals Carlos Vela and Totenhams Giovanni Dos Santos. The so called Golden Generation followed up their early succe s with a Gold Cup triumph in 2009 but strangely Mexico coach, Javier Yunel Escobar Jersey  Aguirre held little confidence in his starlets in South Africa.Mexican players have been few and far between in British football. Jared Borghetti was largley unforgettable for Bolton and Guillermo Franco an impact substitute for West Ham last year. Vela and Dos Santos have still to make their mark.The succe s of the Mexicans will depend greatly on their ability to adapt and settle quickly into a very different style of life and football in the British Isles.
