Mexico's Reality Check: Can El Tri Rebuild Before The 2026 World Cup? | Call It What You Want

The answer is no. The federation has been promising changes the past 5 years or more. I don’t expect Mexico getting out of the group stage for the Copa America.

The US is over performing in spite of its federation
Mexico is underperforming DUE to its federation

No talent, no leaders, and no federation
Other Mexican teams had souls, this team has no soul, no connection, and no drive. Scrap the whole federation and start again. This is a proud footballing nation, but we need to adapt and have the right staff for the transition.

USA didn’t play the boys who had potential until Klinsmann, PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME!!!

I believe that Mexico has the same number of players playing in Europe as Jamaica. Not a lot at all

Two years is not enough time to develop players

Unfortunately, there is no end in sight IMO
1) The Mexican Federation isn’t run by the powers that be but run by Televisa, the largest television market in Mexico, and they are NEVER looking out for what’s best for the national team but what’s best for themselves, that’s why you get all these wash ups and has beens constantly on their roster because Televisa will get a cut simply for nostalgia’s sake. Always been this way, always will. Examples? Garcia Aspe, Palencia, and Luis Hernandez on the 2002 WC roster, Borgetti on the 2006 roster, Cuahtemoc, Guille Franco, and for some inexplicable reason Conejo Perez on the 2010 roster (and STARTED games over Ochoa). Perez wasn’t even on the 2006 roster, neither was Blanco.
2) Having said all that, it’ll be even worse this cycle because why? Mexico are already in as one of the host nations, and they won’t have to go through qualifying, meaning it’ll be business as usual and the federation will have even more of an incentive to rest on their laurels and not do a damn thing about it but collect their check.
I will be SHOCKED if they manage to do ANYTHING from here on out, whether it’s simply producing a player of any sort or advancing in a tournament.

Chiquito Sanchez is worth the same as Toni Kross lol 12 million, that's why less mexican players go to europe, they get paid way more at age 21 in Mexico, and teams in mexico sell them at high prices within the internal mexican market so they also make a buck. All of this crazy inflation was caused by having a large number of foreign players in liga mx, good mexican players are over valued and over sold in the internal market and they never leave to europe.

Mexicos youth development is some of the best in the world. You can’t say it isn’t when they’re achieved 3rd place or better in every youth category. The issue is further development. Most stay in Mexico and Liga MX is just not there. I think it’s up there but not a top league. The youth are also WAY over priced. And liga mx teams are hoarders. They keep youth players and bounce them around the second division or smaller teams because they don’t wanna play or sell them. Also, liga mx players are WAY over paid, With the amount that they pay players they could be bringing some top tier talent from Europe. Which would help in developing the league.

Two problems
1-CORRUPTION
2- The team is controlled by televisa largest Mexican broadcast company. they control EVERYTHING (case in point) Santiago Gimenez he does NOT belong to this group so he DOESN'T PLAY despite being the best Mexican forward.

I see our youth teams playing well against big teams like Argentina, France, and other countries. The problem is that no one gives those young, hungry players a chance. Call them kids to at least friendly games and try them out

Both 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 ⚽️ programs has surpass 🇲🇽.

Bad take on there part: Mexico doesn’t produce good center backs… they are the prototype of the modern center back… ask Pep… ask Rafa Marquez… as Moreno or any of the great Mexican center backs…. Their midfield and striker have been bad for some time

If the federation can clean house, sure. But good luck with that.

What they need is to stop criticizing the way the rest if the world plays ball and start learning in a humble manner.

To be honest, everything is fucked and I don't see a light at the end of tunnel. It's like trying to bring a rotting corpse back to life.

I really hope Mexico get back on their feet, and that other CONCACAF nations can to improve too. I really don't want the US to be the only decent nation in the confederation, as fun as it would be.

Not enough talent playing in europe. They're too expensive, meaning Liga MX dont want to sell. Too much money at stake within the league, the National team is an afterthought

The Mexico team was awesome about 15 to 10 years ago, but now it is in disarray, disconnected from reality, a lot of yellow cards that should be red. The US has so many talents such as Pulisic, McKenny, Tim Weah, Musa, Reyna, Dest, and a lot more, the Mexican team doesn't have even one to be mentioned. The Mexican team usually goes to violence for their frustration against the USMNT.

No, with what? From where? Coached by who?

Yoothis colombian kinda racist, sure mexicans arent tall on average but theyve been able to produce Rafa Marquez and Edson Alvarez which is better than any CB/CDM US has produced. 2nd, athleticism is always a plus in soccer but it is not needed. Japan is a rising star and they are one of the shortest teams in the world on average, similar with Spain.

Yes. But will they actually do it? No.

Karma Comes For Them

Everyone in Conmebol: “para comenzar México nunca a jugado bien” 😂🎉
