6月7號消息，墨西哥守門員桑切斯的父親由於心臟病于週三去世，這使得桑切斯能否參加世界盃成了疑問。桑切斯是在德國當地時間的午夜得知父親去世的消息的。球隊和足協將在週四早晨決定桑切斯能否參加週日與伊朗在紐倫堡進行的首場世界盃比賽，或者他是否會回國參加父親的葬禮。32歲的桑切斯在作為替補參加了98和02年世界盃後，終於在本屆世界盃上成為教練拉博爾佩（Ricardo Lavolpe）的首選。墨西哥國家隊協調人，Cantu 表示，球隊將在週四訓練過後的下午早些時候舉行新聞發佈會。

　　GOETTINGEN, Germany (AP) -- The father of Mexican goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez died Wednesday of a heart attack, leaving his son's status for the World Cup uncertain.

　　Felipe Sanchez died in the family's hometown of Guadalajara, where Oswaldo Sanchez plays for Chivas, team spokesman Juan Jose Kochen said. The younger Sanchez was notified of his father's death around midnight German time, or mid-afternoon in Guadalajara.

　　Team and federation officials met early Thursday morning at their hotel to determine whether Sanchez would be available for Mexico's World Cup opener Sunday against Iran in Nuremberg, or whether he would return for his father's funeral.

　　Guillermo Cantu, the national team coordinator, said at a chaotic news conference outside the hotel that Sanchez was still in Goettingen and no decision would be announced until later Thursday.

　　"Tomorrow, we will have more details," Cantu said through an interpreter. "Now, at this moment, I am asking the press for privacy for the entire family and for Oswaldo."

　　Cantu said the Mexican federation had notified FIFA, soccer's international governing body, of the goalkeeper's situation.

　　The younger Sanchez, 32, had been coach Ricardo Lavolpe's clear choice to start after being a reserve for Mexico in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.

　　Lavolpe has two other keepers on his roster, Jesus Corona and Guillermo Ochoa, but neither has much international experience.

　　Cantu had already been scheduled to hold an early afternoon news conference at the team's training ground in Goettingen, following the team's closed practice session on Thursday.
