Carlos Vela suspended from Mexico team for 6 months
|Arsenal and Mexico striker Carlos Vela has been suspended from playing for his national side for 6 months, after having an after-match party following their 1-0 friendly win over Colombia last week.
Vela’s team-mate Efrain Juarez also received the lengthy ban, while a handful of other Mexican players were slapped on the wrists with fines.
The news comes at a good time for Arsenal, who are currently missing several strikers in Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner.
21-year-old Vela completed 71 minutes against Spurs this evening during the 4-1 rout.

If that is true it is great news!
Bbblessing for arsenal
This is superb news for arsenal!
ts great news he needs to stay away from mexico he needs to stay injry free and i am sure he will be great for arsenal
How can they pick out a couple of them? Some party that mustve been.. Only a few in it. Anyway good news for us, it always messes up his rhythm going all the way to mehico
Perhaps all our easily-injured internationals should follow Chippy’s lead and get lengthy bans from international football. Then we might actually win something.
yess…….i wish all our players get suspended till the end of the season..:)
THats great, cant they make it a year 🙂
Hope all our players are suspended in their respective national terms.
Thanks, Mexico!
Woo-hoo!
Great news for us!
At last ,the guy will get a chance to play for us!!
I only hope it is not a sign that we have an Adriano in the making!
His problem was not the party, what happened to him was that he was angry as he didn’t start the game and when he was called in showed a bad attitude, he did not even pay attention to the coach and took a rock star pose.
great 4 arseanl adn carlos vela you cant do it vela
wow, dis calls 4 celebration. Theo wal, v.persie, bendtner nd arshav should also follow suit. Aft every int, they should throw a party so we can go on treble dis season. Plz vela apply 4 hearing from a high court so they can extend it. Thx carlos, dat was a smart move 2 save ur ars career.
Hey, dont start to party unnecessarily but as humans we all party and dont let id affect your game, thats the most important thing.
i heard he and a few others including Salcido of Fulham had a party with 14 prostitutes and a “well known” tranny!!
happily accept the punishment this though though!!
I can’t believe fellow Arsenal fans are this selfish. If he’s having problems with his National Team, it may affect his Arsenal performance too. We should wish our players the best.
Great news for our relatively depleted team.
if true this will work out better for mexico, arsenal and vela in the long run. he will now actually get playing time for us, and he will improve as a player. good news.
Hahah the funny thing is that Arsenal is celebrating! They are all happy that Vela can concentrate in just his league and not those crapy international games where Mexican fans boo at him and don’t appreciate him! Plus, Persie, Theo and a lot of other strikers are out so Arsenal has him all to themeselves. No worries in getting injured overseas and all concentration on scoring some gunner goals! Thanks Mexico! Go Vela!
La cosa chistosa es que Arsenal anda celebrando que suspendieron a Vela! Ahora ellos tienen a Vela para ellos solos, especialmente ahorita que Arsenal tiene muchos jugadores lecionados. (Especialmente jugadores que juegan la misma posision que el!) Los juegos amistosos son un gasto de tiempo, y los fanaticos del Tri lo abuchean y no saben lo que tienen! Entonces es mejor que ahora el puede concentrar mas con su equipo de la ligilla. Sin peligro que se valla a lastimar con el Tri. Se puede concentrar en hacer goles para los pistoleros!! Gracias Mexico por el favor!! Vamos Vela animo!
If he was all that valuable to them do you think they’d ban him? Like hell.
Bentley was so poor yesterday. He never got a chance at AFC, played well for Blackburn, but he is now an overpayd pony at Spuds and earns high wages, its almost like he is still playing for us against Spuds;)
Great blessing for all the gunners
RVP nd Cesc shd be next great news
shit. @70mins. we’re down to 3 – 0 ! lack of desire and commitment..
FfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK alll
just when i thought almunia had what it takes … oh well, still 32 games left …
As an Arsenal fan i dont want to discouraged any one but i think we need to accept that out title challenge will be over next week against Chelsea.
am i dreaming?
we’re not dreaming..we lost not because of WBA was too good, we’re shit.
Carlos Vela, fuck off!!! He only knows how to score when we’re 4-0 up. Throw JET in his spot.
Well played Nasri.
wht the fuc was that? and at home too?
I tell u what that was…. It was a joke. Goalkeeper again cost us!!!! 1 nil down we have half a chance. 2 nil not a prayer!!!! Wenger is a joke for not buying a goalkeeper. Our team is let down by this over and over again. Give the “shez” a go I say. Better than those clowns almunia and flapihanksi.
the whole team sucked, not just almunia. what was koscielny doing during goal 1 and before goal 2?
how could thomas be on his own on goal 3?
how could nobody play good today and fight to score?
Do not put all that shit on our keeper. He made a great save on the penalty. One of the goals did bounce off him, but that was shambolic defending on the third one. We played like shit, were not ready, and that is on the Gaffer.
What the f*ck happened down there on the pitch? The whole team look like they were drugged or something. The hell they did just walking around like they want to roll over and give the point to West Brom? Almunia made a step forward by saving a penalty then went a thousand miles back to his calamity self. Nasri was the only one that went out there with a winning mentality, the rest were a bunch of bullsh*t losers.
Nasri has scored 4 goals this season not two!!
@ marty: he was at fault to concede the pen. A great GK would have came out earlier to stop this chance!!!!
i was beggining to get mad when everyone was saying this is great news for arsenal but it is, i forgot he was just suspended from the national team for six months and not arsenal
it sucks for mexico cuz he’s a monster lol
but gio and chicharito and guardado can still get the job done
