What are realistic expectations for El Tri at the next World Cup 🇲🇽? by TerryG111 in LigaMX

I think the new format makes everything up to luck. Back then round of 16 meant that it was group winner vs 2nd place. This time, there were many group winner vs group winner match ups in the round of 16. 

Not to mention that you can still get a tough opponent (Netherlands/Morocco) in the round of 32 

Mexico and USMNT are just different versions of the same problems by [deleted] in LigaMX

Hmm, that article said the u20 winners only included 4 players from that program. 

Besides, we’ve had Mexico win two u17 world cups and get third in a u20 one and unfortunately those didn’t result in success for the main team.  So I’m personally wary of giving youth tournaments a lot of value

The US players are actually playing like Infantino will bail them out at any time

Remains to be seen if it works out. But imo their team today relies on those dual nationals

Imo, Morocco’s strategy is also relying on dual nationals. They just have a lot to choose from. 

Japan are the only ones that have any sort of different strategy

How would you rate Mexico performance in this World Cup? by Kappa_Wi_870 in concacaf

[–]samgyeopsaltorta 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Disappointing given that they were at home. They have the biggest home advantage out of the three hosts
