FC Dallas Striker Akindele Unfazed By Prospect Of Facing Mexico At Azteca Stadium

Canada national-teamer Tesho Akindele is unfazed by the prospect of facing Mexico at Estadio Azteca on Tuesday night despite the Canadians suffering a 3-0 home loss to the opponents last Friday.<br /><br />The Canadian squad have been well received since their arrival in Mexico but it will be a totally different ball game during the game, with several passionate El Tricolor supporters expected to show up for the rematch.<br /><br />&ldquo;We control our own destiny. That&rsquo;s the mentality,&rdquo; Akindele told MLSsoccer.com. <br /><br />&ldquo;Everybody&rsquo;s saying, &lsquo;Look, we&rsquo;re in a great spot, we have one of the best teams that Canada Soccer has ever had, and we&rsquo;re pretty confident right now.&rdquo;<br /><br />He added : &ldquo;People have told me it&rsquo;s an intimidating atmosphere with the stadium and the fans, but I&rsquo;m not going to be sitting here worrying, worst-case scenario, how intimidating it might be.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see, when the time comes; I think we&rsquo;ll all be able to deal with it.&rdquo;<br /><br />The 2014 MLS Rookie of the Year started on the bench at the BC Place Stadium (Vancouver, British Columbia), but was introduced seven minutes from time.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley<br /><br />Photo Credit :fcdallas.com<br />
