WHY is Mexico not a world football power?

- Mexico SHOULD be a football world power. It’s a nation that’s home to about 130 million people, the 10th largest country in the world. Football is the number one sport by far, they have an incredibly successful domestic league in Liga MX, standout players capable of playing in the world’s top leagues, and a obsessive passion for football. So, what’s the problem?

I agree, The Gold Cup is useless, they should be going to Copa America where there is more bigger competition with teams like Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia, etc
Y copa libertadores
@@TheTrickynicky13 ?
@@nævis1 the Liga mx team's have to compete in the Copa libertadores alongside the national team in the Copa America in my oppinion, hello from Scotland
Should be one federation, people take the copa America serious but not as serious as Afcon and Asian cup because the invited team nonsense , why don't they just just combine the two federations
Yup but we don’t even get invited to copa America no more. Plus the confederations cup is scrapped. Now we gotta play trash gold cup every two years. Mexico is going downhill
They should pick players off the streets. Like they do in Brazil. That's real talent right there it beats the rich kids that made to academies
this comment should have the most likes
Brazil doesn't pick up players "off the streets". Poor kids in Brazil have a motivation to play, but that doesn't mean Santos or Flamengo pick up any hoodlum just like that. You have to realize that not everybody "off the streets" has the discipline or the consistence necessary to play.
@@maesre2004 in Brazil they have a strong scouting system....
No team in Europe is picking kids from the streets, and European football has dominated the game since 2006. It's about scouting, youth development and modern coaching. No scouter is wandering the streets to find talent.
@@jimmyking92 He doesnt mean that in the literal sense, obviously. He's talking about creating the infrastructure necessary to identify and groom talent from poorer areas like the do in Brazil and Europe. Mexico and the US ironically both have the problem that only middle and upper class kids generally have the opportunity to go pro.
1.- Mexican players who got talent, lack a solid mentality of winning, their problem is not on their legs, it's in their head.
2.- The owners & agents have an infinite love to purchase & sell foreign players because they sell better, it's all business & the young players who trying to get an opportunity, hardly ever get a chance to play.
3.- "Pacto de Caballeros"
1. Thing was..... when they had a good coach like LAVOLPE in 2006 who instilled discipline and kicked out the divas at the time he was ridiculed by Azteca(fake) and Televisa(news) , what's worse is that it was coming from HUGO SANCHEZ who just wanted him out so he could get the JOb and when he got the job , he ddin't know a dang thing.
Guardado said that Lavolpe was an ahole to him and got a lot of the players mad, but Guradado admits that if Lavolpe never pushed him, he would have not have the drive to get better, and he thanked Lavolpe for it.
But if you watch that Mexican team in 2006 vs Argentina that is one of the most well disciplined teams that Mexico ever had , all it was missing was a 17 year old Carlos Vela to turn 26 and this team would have dominated.
I love Cuathemoc but you needed guys like Lavolpe to humble them, and quite frankly when Mexico has a coach that wants to do that the Media attacks them and the FML gets rid of them because it costs them their Advertisments(players) medai darlins like Chicahrito money (loss of advertisment revenue).

Mexico: Our national team doesn't perform as our high quality players don't go abroad and choose to stay home.
Mexican teams never beat Argentine or Brazilian teams in anything. Wonder how strong that league actually is.
Diego Gomez chivas beat boca 4-0 they also made it to the libertadores final in 2010. Toluca beat Boca 2-1 in Argentina.While Pachuca won the copa sudamericana in 2007🤫, yet the CONMEBOL has not invited us to participate in the copa sudamericana since....

@@FC.155 Yes, go on, but next time, without lying. WTF, The champion was Arsenal that year. What the hell are you talking about?

ColdUsami Baseball is pretty popular where my dad is from en el D.F.
My grandpa was really good when he was young, the best player in his town. He went to try out for Chivas but they didn't accept him because he was poor so he went to tecos they accepted him and a couple of his buddies too on the tryouts they beat the players that were supposed to make it to the main team. He could of made it professionally but his mom didn't let him go because she needed help financially

I want more Mexican players in England. Love from England 🏴
💙💛❤️💙💛❤️🐺🦅
gracias 😁
We have Jimenez and umm 🤔 idk who else.
That league is too tough, very physical, which is awesome....but our mexican players arent that physically built, and we fall on every touch to get a foul lmao
I'm sorry for sending you the most ridiculous player in recent times: Chicharito, who could only score goals with anything except the feet or the head. Belongs more to the circus than to a football team.
There's a lot of elements, really:
1) I agree that the mentality aspect of it definitely is a factor, especially from the media. The media keeps putting the 5th game as the goal.... Why the hell is something Mexico has already achieved supposed to be the goal?? The goal should be at minimum the semis, but the media is stuck in only talking about the 5th game. It's probably the only country in the world that sets a goal for something they've already achieved instead of aiming higher. Mexico has a huge potential of being the dark horse and reaching semis.
2) Liga MX gives NO opportunities for young Mexican players. Instead, they always choose a 35 year old veteran over a talented young player. If Messi was born in Mexico, they wouldn't debit him until he was 25, and they still wouldn't start him, instead, playing someone with more experience but not nearly as talented. Chicharito, Raúl Jiménez, and many other players have commented on how they almost retired/quit at a young age because they were rarely given opportunities as young players. In Argentina, for instance, or Uruguay, Brazil, etc, what matters most is talent, and it's not rare for a 16 year old to make a professional debut. In Mexico you have to be like 25+ years old to be given a chance to play. The talent exists, Mexico has won the U17 World Cup twice, and the Olympics, but the system in Mexico is a youth talent killer, as it stands.
3) Sheer f'n bad luck. In WC 86 they lose in penalties in what would have gotten them to the semis. In 1994 again they lose in penalties. In 1990, with Hugo Sanchez in his prime at Real Madrid, Mexico was disqualified from the WC over nonsense. In 98 they were beating Germany 1-0 and had the opportunity for it to be 2-0 and instead lost 2-1. Along with the mentality issue, I can't think of another team in history that loses so many times last minute. They're often their own worst enemy. In 2002 Mexico loses to none other than the U.S. , a team they could and should have beat. In 2006 Mexico is winning vs Argentina and ends up losing in extra time 2-1 in a match where Mexico played better. In 2010 they lost again once more to Argentina. In 2014 they're winning once again, and lose 2-1 in the last second with a non existent penalty. In 2018 they lose vs Brazil. The feeling is always that they could've done more.
Mexico hasn’t achieved a QF away from Home Soil. In 1988 there was a bribery scandal that was uncovered (with the help of US Officials) that the president of Mexico’s FA and I believe the President of Concacaf was as well. FIFA had no choice but to ban Mexico from the 1990 WC. So that meant Costa Rica and someone else, someone new, would go to the WC. Who was it? The US. So I’ve always had my doubts about America qualifying as legitimate in 1990 since it served as a promotional tournament for 1994. I was born in 96 but this is what it seems like.
In the US, our focus is winning the World Cup, and our failure playing Vets and people 29+ is why the US ultimately failed, which has allowed us to play younger players, focus on youth development, and just sell players to Europe.
Mexico’s fans won’t accept failure and as a result, they won’t learn. Mexico has been stuck in the same place for 20 years and they expect a different result. That is why they don’t get to where they want. They don’t admit failure. As a program, and as fans. That’s the definition of insanity.
Luckily the US doesn’t have a large following, so there wasn’t too much scrutiny on changing. We have players in Europe getting regular minutes now. The US has seen a large improvement since. The US finally dropped the stupid notion of the MLS ever competing and over taking Europe. They are willing to even sell players to Europe for less than $3 million dollars, something we hadn’t seen before. They were like Mexico, wanting to play players who were old vets, trying to show case the MLS’ talent, but the young players weren’t playing. That changed with Klinsmann. And I have a feeling Tata will change Mexico in a much similar way.
@@m.c.martin exactly, i agree 100%. I love that the US is giving so much opportunities for young talent to grow. Mexico needs to learn from this. Tata comes from the Argentinian school "talent first above all" so I'm glad he's also giving opportunities to young talent.
Mexican players also need to start taking a pay cut and move to Europe on the cheap, as many successful South American players have done time and time again for pennies (or FREE on loan). Mexican players want to leave to Europe for millions only, but they should be willing to leave for less to advance their careers. Some of the most successful South American players went to Europe on the cheap to small teams first, like Suarez or David Luiz (on loan), Dani Alves, and many others.
Imagine thinking Mexico was playing better in 2006.
Now here we are at 2022, where Mexico has been KO'd in Group Stage, last time that happened was at 1978's Edition.
this comment needs to be pinned
The owners of the teams of Liga Mx do not take the time to go search for young players in the poor neighborhood like they do in Brazil, we rarely hear of a Mexican player who started from nothing and made it very far, Cuauhtémoc Blanco was the last one and he is known for being the greatest Mexican player to play with the national team, it’s sad but no real opportunities are given to kids who may be the next world star but will never shine because of their financial situation, Mostly Rich kids with average Skills are in the youth academy of most teams
Brazil are average now, so they're not the best example
@@anneeq008 Are you stupid ,Brazil way above average rn .There are over 200 fifa affiliated countries and Brazil is definitely top 5 rn .Only France,Argentina & maybe Portugal can be considered better.
Cuauthemoc Blanco is one of the worst and most leaching polititians we still have.
Carlos Salcido had a rough upbringing, and you’re right very few, I think edson had it tough as well, Héctor herrera was picked up old, Paul Aguilar too, gullit had it tough, gallo Vazquez had no academy he was a albañil, there’s a few if you go deep, but let’s be honest many just don’t have what it takes mentally to do it! It’s not just a quality issue, villaluz was a great example. If I’m not mistaken Javier Aquino had it rough, I’m breaking my head but Henry Martin also no acádemy, and last but not least El hobbit
Corruption, huge egos and little support from the executives in charge
T Hendrix Facts
Soccer has a great support in mexico like any other sport.
Alfredo Quintero Have you seen how many Mexican players play in the first division? Have you heard of the 11/13 rule? Have you heard of the Gentleman's Pact? How is there support?
@@zeldarfromplanetbeldar4188 I know what you are saying it's true but I meant national team has great support from fans big companies and TV networks.
Alfredo Quintero Oh definetley. When it comes to financial income, there's no other country that comes close to the ratio of money spent to money made. But that's it. Look at all the other U-21 squads of the world and see how many of them are given the chance to play in their home league and look at Mexico. That's why they'd rather pay pennies to play against Madagascar's U-20 amateur squad in their second home, USA, than to pay a good amount against a top 10 squad
I'm brazilian and I think it's crazy that mexico never came close to win a world cup, since they are so passionate for football for decades, it's similar to brazil in this way. I hope they reach at least quarter finals in 2026
It’s really not that hard to figure out, they play in the weakest confederation, most of their players stay in Mexico and not go abroad, and I believe they are truly curse.
@_ Chris They are curse in terms of not going to the next stage or making it further, plenty of teams with less qualifications than Mexico have made it to the semifinals from 1930-2022.
🇺🇾 has 14 appearances and their best results are 🏆 1930 & 1950.
🇧🇪 has 14 appearances and their best results are 🥉 in 2018.
🇫🇷 & 🇪🇸 have 16 appearances and their best results are🏆 1998, 2018 and 2010

🇨🇱 9 appearance and their best results are 🥉 in 1962.
🇲🇦 6 appearances and their best results are fourth place in 2022

@@scaryvalidationwhy would they go abroad? Their players are not good enough.
@@emersonr7481 Believe me some players have gotten huge opportunities to leave to Europe but decide to stay in Mexico despite not being that good
El problema es evidente al inicio del video: El america y televisa, manejan a su antojo el futbol por lo que en lugar de tener un futbol profesional se tiene un futbol amañado.
1. Players who aren't really good get overhyped by the media and they get exposed playing European football or getting humiliated when they play in the National teams against a strong adversary.
2. European coaches not giving patience to players to adapt to new football.
3. Clubs like Monterey, Tigres, and America offering more money to players to stay in Mexico or return early from playing elite football in Europe.
4. Mexican clubs overprice Mexican players so smaller clubs in Europe won't be willing to pay so they go to the South American market instead.
5. People who run the National team are crooks who only worry about the $$$$ so they play in the US against shit competition.
You made good points and I agree with all of them.
All are true except #1.
Half of that statement was true mexico does over hype their place are puts too much pressure on them. For example, like calling Laniez the next Messi.
Players make sound in México and they think they are some kind of God. Then they go to Europe (rlly expensive btw) and hit really
Agree with everything except #1, Lainez is a bit overhyped but he’s good for 19 year old who just went to Europe not too long ago & it’s just him tbh who else is overhyped ?? & did you know that Jesus Duenas has the same salary as Daniel Parejo, captain at Valencia.

Corruption and playing on the concacaf doesn't help elevate your playing to an elite level.
true but that shouldn't matter to mexico and its players. just because the competition is weak doesn't mean they shouldn't improve or look to just flat out dominate every single time.
to me pavel pardo hit the nail on the head....too many Mexican players are comfortable playing at home and teams being ridiculous with their price tags that they don't get to Europe and play with much higher level of talented players to take that next step....its a shame because Mexico is a factory for talented young players every single year.
im not even Mexican (im from panama) but I support the Mexican national team and also share the same heartbroken disappointment and concerns Mexicans fans feel/believe.
@@okkipooky8612 If You play with worst teams, its incredibly hard to improve in any sport.
@@luisvarela7827 I absolutely agree. But they only have to play concacaf level a few times of the year or during gold cup/WC qualifiers. The rest of their players professional careers they can be spent playing/training/developing at the top level in EU to improve their skills set but more importantly achieve a winning mentality...getting used to playing the messi's , the ronaldo's, the hazard's of the world. Instead of staying in liga MX most if not all of their of their professional careers...with tier B level gameplay...yes concacaf is tier C or even D level play. But as a player they should be looking to play in tier A Level (instead of tier B liga MX) and achieve their true potential because that's how talented Mexico's youth potential have.
@@okkipooky8612 Fully agree that their players lack ambition . The super talented Carlos Vela and Do Santos, for example, conformed with shining in the MLS.
@@luisvarela7827 yep exactly. Those 2 in particular were successfully recruited as teenagers(maybe younger) by their EU team (Arsenal and Tottenham if I remember correctly). And like those 2 , there are probably over a dozen talented young Mexican teenagers who should also consider it. But they don't because they get picked up by the local clubs and then get encouraged to stay rather than to leave and make their dreams come true. In my eyes Mexico has the ability to produce world class talent often like Brazil/Argentina/Uruguay/Netherlands/Spain/Germany....countries who are respected for their "production" of talented youngsters. And this has been constantly proven by how GOOD the Mexican national youth teams perform constantly at the world stage.

I think the owners LFM are Argentine, they always try to nationalize argentine players, always hire argentine or south american coaches. They always benched the U-17 Mexican players and restricted them from going to Europe, then they would bench them in favor of Argentine players....Conspiracy.

@@lxr1118 The one previous was Justino Compeán

The name YON suggests that he is of Jewish origins. One thing i've noticied in Mexico, is that people of power in mexico are of Lebanese and Hebrew origin.
One bright side to YON is that he was the Comitte Organizer for Mexico's 2011 U-17 championship. However this was the year that it was hosted in Mexico,which smells like corruption.

Because they play in the concacaf one of the weakest conferences in the world
Matt Mendez yeah you’re right :(
And Concacaf was indeed tailor-made to guarantee Mexico an easy division. But things got so bad that the US and Canada started defeating Mexico. This was arranged by Mexican FIFA strongman Guillermo Cañedo.
Mexico has to learn how to beat the USA first 😂 All of the US’s top athletes all play other sports too. Nearly all of the best Mexican athletes play soccer. Imagine Lebron James as a striker or Antonio Brown as a winger and on and on. It wouldn’t even be close.
Matt Mullin Futbol is mainly a skill based sport. Just because your tall and fast doesn’t mean you can play lol. If that was the case Africa would win every World Cup lmao
people blame the concacaf left and right....WHY??? mexico has enjoyed being the top dog in it because it 100% guarantees them being in EVERY single world cup and the money/publicity that comes with it.. even when they struggle mightily (when they almost didn't make it 2-3 WCs ago).
that being said the issues with the concacaf being so weak (really money issues) has NOTHING to do with mexico and the powerhouse they should be....take Bayern/juve/barca/real madrid…..just because they don't play in the EPL where every team gives you a challenge doesn't mean they don't destroy the league and their weaker opponents year in and year out.
I think pavel pardo is 100% right in every single point he made on this video...the teams blocking talent from leaving to play in the EU with higher level competition/talent.
and the players themselves being too comfortable playing within mexico that they don't improve/take the next step and develop a winning/YES WE CAN type of mentality...instead they are starstruck by teams like spain and lose.
Mexico and the USA need to play more often with South Americans because beating Honduras will only take you so far
because once a player has a couple decent seasons they're over hyped af and end up flopping were shit and that's that

@@glenjoke10 very true about Mexico almost always making it through the crowd my friend. That's why I think they're over due on a world cup victory
The problem with the Mexican national team is that they are over hyped by their own press, players, executives, coaches, and of course fans. To improve or get better you have to know your own limits. Then and only then you will be able to reach the next level.
Gerardo Stumpf 😂 no. Their league pays extremely well so young players find it hard to make the move to Europe.
Fact is this team should never be ranked worst than 16.....EVER!!!
Only Mexico and Brazil have made the 2nd round of every World Cup since 1994. So why would they ever be ranked worst than 16th.

corruption is at the spain league as well, yet they won the wc and eurocup
I knew first hand this, in order to get into a pro team to even try outs, you need to pay, even if you are an amazing player, no cash no chance..
Overlooking this massive issue, when the national team goes to an important tournament, not always the best players go, only the "popular ones"..
They let sponsors call the shots..
Word
Sounds like the American problem. Once the rich kids learn to play then it will be an even playing field around the world. Look at how they have to keep Cameroon or Nigeria out of the WC. Money talks, bullshit walks
Not in Europe tho
December 2022 the president of liga mx confirmed that only 35 Mexican players play abroad while mls is more than 150+
Really thought about it thanks for the video
I’m really loving the content DW! thanks for listening to us and doing some Gold Cup and Copa America , now just waiting on that African Nations Cup ☺️!!!
Mexico needs to start looking at players from northern mexico and also mexican-american players.
Yes definitely more height advantage if they get players from the north.
most players are from big cities in the south.
Yes, but soccer only became popular in Northern Mexico in the last two decades. Up until then, baseball was the top sport there, hence superstars like Fernando Valenzuela.
Mario M i forgot to mention that, baseball is king in northern mexico, its played in every rural area its kinda of a lifestyle in most parts. Soccer is second in popularity
Yes, the people in general seem to be taller in the north. And yes soccer is becoming more popular in the north over the years. Baseball and boxing have ruled the lands in the north. They need to look at mexican-american players as well, a lot of fast and strong players in the U.S.
Yared Borghetti was a notable taller player from northeastern Mexico.

The thing is, if Mexico wins a gold cup nobody celebrates, it's just eh, we get upset when we lose to the us because were expected to win a competition that means nothing, it's a lose lose situation
Dude most people that go to those bullshit games know fuck all about football. They just go to get drunk with their buddies and scream puto.
In the world stage, yes, your Gold Cup doesn't mean anything. It's a pretty recent regional competition with 90% of amateur teams and pretty much all of them with little to no history in football.
Don’t really think Tata has enough to take this team to another level
Nobody does unfortunately
@@samplingmastersxlr8660 I'm pretty sure we'd at least see a disciplined team under someone like Rafa Marquez or a a decent European manager
Numbers say that Martino has the best winning % of ANY Mexican coach of the last 32 YEARS! He's literally getting water out of the rocks there, with players with little to no talent or wittiness or ambition to play football. He's an elite coach, but when you don't have anything to work with, you're a goner. Hopefully he will leave that teams after the WC.
Mexico should be in the Copa America (every edition)
Copa America is for south americans.
@@alfauno1255 Mexico has been invited before. This year they invited Japan and Qatar
Last time they were invited they took their B team. No ambition.
they invite mexico every time
so they can lose every time?
Completely agree that Mexico is between B and C class.
I would say they push into B most years, but it depends on your definition. My definitions:
A class - Contenders for WC. Teams that will go deep into the tournament.
B class - reliable qualifiers that may push to knockout rounds and possibly quarters, but won't consistently go far.
C class - Happy to qualify for WC and have some decent performances
D class - the rest
You are too generous placing Mexico between B and C
Josh G that’s an insult
Every team that goes to tournament wants to do more then just make up the numbers
Sure first time teams want that but others who have been to many World Cups in a row want to do more
Mexico is definitely B, but they have oftentimes been C, obviously
Frederick Chilton I mean they always make it to quarter final in the World Cup but then there comes the curse
Mexico needs more young players with a good mentality
La corrupción es uno de los grandes problemas de #México: televisoras decidiendo, un mismo dueño para varios equipos, una liga con dos torneos por año… eso afecta al fútbol mexicano.

Yeah but you need to put in work.. not just think that one day we will win

Before Pavel Pardo played abroad in Europe there were others, Rafa Marquez, Gerardo Torrado, and before them Hugo Sanchez.

They simply lack consistency and they don't use players who should be on the field instead of the bench.
This is also true but seems to be changing recently, we took a step in the right direction going with a younger team.
@@eiy4032 un mexicano se piso a su vieja 😂
Don’t worry that nasty fuck from Argentina still salty at the fact his country choked on 3 finals.
This did not age well for Tata Martino. And as of now, 2022 Qatar World Cup, Mexico was eliminated in the Group C stage. 1-1-1, 4 pts
México isn't the team that at the last Copa America they played they got crush by Chile 7 to 0? 😂😂😂
They also beat Germany at the World Cup. Shit happens sometimes
Wow awesome thank you so much for the video it's nice to see some one else take interest in our country
Acaso no sabes que la FIFA siempre necesita que México vaya a los mundiales?
Los mexicanos no van con su Selección en los partidos de visita en la Eliminatoria, pero a los mundiales en cada partido México llena estadios.
De acuerdo a la FIFA, México es el quinto país en promedio que más gente trae a un Mundial. O sea, me pierdo en Qatar o espero en un lugsr siempre me voy a encontrar al menos con 2 mexicanos.
Saludos desde Costa Rica, y donde viaje se el nivel general de Concacaf...

Hahaha Vitamina T

ahuevo compa
Rigin Mora and whores🤨
Tacos are always the right answer
Since 1994 Mexico always reached the round of 16, which is quite remarkable and means they always send a solid team to the finals. To answer why they never reached the quarterfinals or further just look at the list of their opponents : Germany, Netherlands, Brasil, 2x Argentina, even Bulgaria was strong in 1994 they finished 3th. The only time they really screwed it up was 2002 against the USA.
Good point, not many countries would complain about getting knocked out to Brazil, Argentina, Germany or the Netherlands. Though that 2-0 to the US really hurts!
They screwed up or they got beat? Mexico is overrated. Always has been.
They just broke this streak 😢
For 2018, only reason they faced Brazil is cause they screwed themselves over by losing 3-0 to Sweden and finishing second behind Sweden. That was their best chance to make it to the quarter finals.
They should be winning their group more often to avoid some of those tough round of 16 matchups.
High quality content!! Congratulations
Thank you Evaldo!
There are no spaces for mexican players in the Liga Mx thats one huge reason
Guadalajara has all Mexican players and they're shit.
Agree. Puro pinche extranjeros!!
Algunos equipos tienen una buena balanza de jugadores Mexicanos con Extranjeros, como Pachuca que en su 11 titular juegan 6 mexicanos y 5 extranjeros.. y asi hay otros equipos mas... aparte en las mejores ligas del mundo es asi, mira la liga Francesa, Inglesa, Española, la MLS , etc.. los equipos grandes estan plagados de extranjeros de buen nivel… es verdad que tiene que haber un semillero de donde sacar jugadores buenos, pero a mi parecer si han salido inclusive de equipos que tienen una tradicion de contratar muchos extranjeros como Monterrey con Jona Gonzalez y Charly Rodriguez que pintan muy bien, tambien America con Lainez y Edson, y no se puede dejar atras a Pachuca que ha sido para mi el semillero mas importante en los ultimos años de jugadores Mexicanos de buen nivel.. en lo personal creo que si deben venir jugadores extranjeros siempre y cuando sean de buen nivel, asi como Gignac, Boselli, Honda, Funes Mori, Mena, etc..
@@datboi9539 that's cause they are the "hijos de papi" just look at pulido
En mi opinión es que hay muchos equipos irrelevantes de la liga, equipos que sobreviven a base de extranjeros baratos en vez de darle continuidad a sus jóvenes, equipos como el Morelia o Puebla que ni tienen extranjeros de calidad ni sacan buena cantera, ellos son los que le hacen daño a la liga y a la selección
It’s just like with any country, money trumps skill/talent
alejandro vicente wrong lol
I played for CEFOR San Luis and Basucas for MTY and lemme tell you that so many of my mates were there because their parents would pay off the coaches to get some game time.
Danya on fire 🔥🔥🔥😍
Liga mx 9 of the 11 players are foreing then they give citizenship to some to open a spot for a foreing player and not many opportunities for the young national players
Foreign****
Y ese es uno de 700 problemas

There are a lot of factors in building a powerful football nation. Funds and popularity of the game are a big factor obviously. An underrated factor is the priorities of the clubs. If you notice successful countries like Holland, Croatia, Sweden and Belgium, they all have well funded football programs, but their clubs don't go on big spending sprees in free agency but instead spend a lot of their resources on their youth programs. They also make it a priority to give youngsters playing time.
There is enough talent in Mexico to be world champion, the thing is that the best players are not in the national team. There is a lot of corruption and a Mafia with player promoters. The proof of this is the success of under 17 success, is when money is involved that everything gets fucked up. It is not mentality that is an old saying.
@IGit ytaf just the fact that you used the Word soccer makes all your argument invalid.
@IGit ytaf exactly!
From an american perspective without much attachment to the aport all i can say is there are undiscovered talent throughout slums and villages drowning in poverty.
Athleticism that can reach Olympian levels
There are kids out there with the right training and change of mentality who cam become as great as the elite players in the business.
The genetics are there in mass which is why soccer clubs are sponsoring astroturf soccer fields in the moddle of jungles to scope out and recruit some good players. Its gonna tame time. I would say new break outs in 3rd world stars in the next 5 years maximum.
Then how come the currently most successful teams come from relatively affluent European countries? I mean Iceland is a nation of 300,000 that punched massively above its weight in this last decade because they had a sound concept of the football they wanted to play and exactly how to use a limited pool of talent and resources to the maximum.
@@nutyyyy Because their people dont live in abject proverty and dont have to wonder where their next meal will come from.
In this video there is soo much support for Gerardo Martino well guess what Mexico got knocked out in the group stage in the 2022 world cup and Martino has been fired shortly after. It seems his experience with Barcelona and as an Argentinian football player didn't repeat with el tri.
Except that it did repeat again: Argentina lost to Chile in both Copa finals 15-16, then lost to the US in the finals of 2021.
From what I've heard, players get a little money and party too much.
This was true for Gio Dos Santos
It has happened to many youngsters in recent years
Woah no way. Players in Liga Mx make really good money.
@@ma.fer_1 what he meant was that once these young players get their hands on money they seem to think they have it all. Take for example Javier Lopez from Chivas they hyped him up as the mexican "Messi" for a couple of good games they gave him the #10 shirt and since then his career has gone downhill.

At the end of the day Football is seen as a business. If they make the switch to Comnebol the chances of making the World Cup will lower. The FMF will lose tons of money if it happens. They’re cool with selling out US stadiums and playing places you go for vacation...Bermuda WTF??

Agree, football is mostly a business and always about the money which is sad.
@@ikejeromeharlan4683
But then isn't most every other sport? Tennis? American football? Marathon running? Baseball? Hockey?
Of course there are obscure sports such as water polo and pentathlon and cross country skiing that you mainly see in the Olympics or perhaps not, and they don't have enough of a fan base so as to be profitable to participate in.
And yet you can bet they are about the money too.
Basically
Ya lo vi 2 veces y me sigue saliendo como anuncio. Está bueno
They need more of their young talent to develop abroad but in a club where they would get minutes . Liga Mx is good but some of the talent they have should be playing in some good clubs in Europe .
Even smaller nation like Uruguay can produce lot of world class player.
raptor 95 They are world class
But they hardly make even a slightly portion of the money that Mexico do. That's one of the biggest problems. Mexico is a product that sells a lot in the US market, the most importan market along with China. If people restrain themselves to fill a stadium in a mediocre match like yesterday's Mexico vs Cuba, things would change rapidly. And that will never happen, because nostalgia sells, and there are a lot of Mexicans and Mexican-americans, chicanos as we say in Mexico, that go to those matches just to see their team. We are fucked.
Good video great platform some useful information but oh my gosh can someone Choose a better spokesperson for the occasion?
I'm Salvadoreño and I would love to see Mexico win a world cup. That party is going to be amazing.
I Mexican I would love to see El Salvador qualify Qatar.
Same reason as here in the U.S. a tryout consist of 8 different sessions and cost $200 each for many families that is a big investment when they have other kids to provide for I've been there first hand. I'm planning to move to England and grab a spot in the 3rd division as a 5'9 Centerback wish me luck hahaha
esta bonita la Reportera
Justice on the soundtrack 🤘🏽
In my opinion it's that a lot of times Mexico plays very overconfident and that when they have a mistake it hits hard and even harder to turn it around. Also a lot of new talents is suppressed to always give the old and/or popular talent their spot and these more popular players don't want to exert themselves or get injured on the world cup, so they just play a lesser level so the risk of an injury don't affect their career!
Interesting. I'd been asking myself the same question for a long time.
Love the Justice theme music in the beginning !
This is incorrect. Mexico IS a world power. They beat Brazil to win the Olympic gold medal a few years ago and consistently beat top teams and qualify for the world cup. They also export top talent to Europe and import top players from Europe and South America.
Let's be real, most people don't care about the Olympics. You're only allowed to have 3 players over 23?
They certainly have talent and A plus fan support.
Please what is the name of the background music 10:15?
Dennis Cruz - El Sueño
It's not a powerhouse because Soccer is mostly popular in the South and Central regions, when you get to Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja, and the northern states baseball is king. Excluding 2 teams Tijuana/Monterrey, but Baseball is getting there, the pay is also 8-15k+ a month and you don't pay taxes, it's not big money compared to MLB/Japan but it's the highest of any Latin American region even Caribbean leagues. LMP/Mx baseball league is on par skill wise, the pay alone attracts lots of foreigners, considering US minor league pays starvation wages.
Boxing is the national sport. We're bad at diving like the dutch (Robben).
Mexico is a weak ass country with weak ass people who use guns to fight. Pussys
@@mike3575 you sound stupid😂
Good vibes!!
Seems that Mexico’s failure is due to its own success at home. If I was a player and got paid well, I too would stay home to be with my family and friends. It’s too bad, really. As a US fan I support the USA first, but Mexico is the next team that I always root for to do well. For that matter, I cheer for all America teams, North, Central, and South.
The problem to why México football doesnt show pogress is also because we dont let mexican footballers play in europe long enough . I mean they barely have 2 or 3 years playing in europe and the mexican teams in liga mx already want to bring them back to México. Carlos Calcedo played as a starter at frankfurt, Diego Reyes played very well with porto, in which these players Are bearly in their mid20s and now they might go back playing for Tigres. The liga mx and the mls tried to get chicharito, marco fabian, the dos santos brothers and even Andrés Guardado to play on their leagues. These players(except for Guardado) are not in their 30s yet and the mls and liga mx already want to bring them back to help their teams. These players should stay in europe so they can explode their true potential in the best leagues Where the best players play.
pele or maradona didnt really play in Europe
ROADSHOW its very obvious that Maradona played in Europe, he played for Barcelona and Napoli. You can even Google it. As for Pelé the reason why Pelé didnt play in Europe is because he didnt wanted to, he said that he felt very happy playing in Brazil and played more for fun than for money and fame, if he played in Europe, im pretty sure he would be even better. You have to constantly play against very strong oppoments so you can get used to it.
Mexico sucks at soccer, how have you been playing a sport for more then 100 years and have no progress lol smh, boxing is what we news to invest more in, boxing has gave us everything and is like the only sport we really compete in world class, no excuses for playing a sport for more than 100 years and cant to a 5th game, NONE
ROADSHOW you switch the subject from talking about Pelé and Maradona to Mexico. There Are over 207ish(may be more) national teams aproved by FIFA in this world. México has been making it in the last 16 in the last 6 world cup competition. If México always makes it in the best 16 out of the 207ish countries in the world, doesnt that makes México One of the best?México used to almost always be desqualified from the group stage in almost every world cup in the past(50s, 60s,70s, 80s).Now México has the possibility to make it in the last 16 in the world instead of the best 32 in the world. That means that Mexican soccer has improve over the last couples of decades. It was in the 90s when México started to make it in the best 16 and it was in the 90s when México started to have more mexican players playing in Europe. México won the confederation world cup in 1999 against Brazi(you can Watch it in CZcams) and how is that not pogress? In the decade(2010-2019) we have increased the number of mexican players playing in Europe. This is also a good sign that México is making pogress. My point is that since the 90s, México has increase its potential in soccer and is making a lot of pogress. Im an fully aware that we Are not in the same level as brazil and germany buy we do have the tools(soccer players from Europe, investment money, and a good soccer coach) to beat any rival from any country, thats why we Are Now capable of making it in the best 16 teams in the world and even may be making it to the finals by 2026. The world cup of 2026 is our chance to make it far in North American soil.
Diego Reyes isn’t playing for tigres and Carlos wasn’t even having a good career in Europe he’s better at tigres getting playing time
Great question great debate, always thought the same also. Sadly it’s like the Mexican players start getting too comfortable at where they are and aren’t interested in growing anymore
Felicitaciones por ganar la Copa de oro el día de ayer. Se lo han merecido mucho. Un abrazo y mucha suerte pa la próxima mundial desde Alemania.
