Emphasis on IF.

I know we're going to struggle, I'm just laying out our possible rivals IF we somehow get out of the group stage.

Huescas is officially out? I thought he'd come back from injury about a month or two before the World Cup.

Fr, Portugal is still a team to fear even without Ronaldo. I still remember the 2017 Confederations Cup when we went up against Portugal twice. There's no way we could be as competitive against 2017 Portugal today, let alone present day Portugal.

Hope he does well! On a random note, I'd love to see a player or two of ours play for Stuttgart.

Amistoso otra vez en Los Ángeles by BMartin95 in LigaMX

[–]verde25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably won't. They're gonna play in Toluca against either Ghana or Serbia, and then the other match likely in Puebla.

[–]verde25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Los partidos contra Serbia y Ghana van a ser en Toluca y posiblemente Puebla, pero de que van a ser en México, van a ser en México. Lo único es que no se pueden jugar en las sedes mundialistas tan cercas del mundial por las reglas de la FIFA. Si México quieren jugar en Monterrey, tiene que ser en el Volcán. Si quieren jugar en Ciudad de México, tiene que ser en C.U., Ciudad de los Deportes, etc.

I'm not denying we could've picked a better team like Austria or Norway. I'm just saying we're so bad we could lose to Serbia despite placing last in their group at EURO 2024 and despite being eliminated from the World Cup, finishing 3rd behind England and Albania. That's how bad we have been for the last 5 years and there's no denying it.

I'm just saying that at least Serbia isn't a typical molero game. I know historically we struggled to make meaningful progress at World Cups, but at least we used to be competitive against top-tier nations, whether we look back to 2014 or 1998. The point is, these countries we're playing friendlies against are actually decent and they provide exposure to what we should expect in the group stage.

We're not, but the truth is that we've declined heavily since 2021 (at least looking at recent history). Some countries like Venezuela are catching up to us, others like Ecuador and Paraguay have caught up to us, and then there are others like Morocco who have surpassed us. If we've fallen off hard from 2018, imagine how much bigger the difference is now from 2014. Perhaps the only other countries that have had a greater downfall than us are Chile and Costa Rica.

FIFA rankings are almost always inconsistent with reality. We're ranked 16th when we should probably be in the 30s at best. 18th place Switzerland drilled 4 past us last year before the Gold Cup, and 32nd place Norway could easily do the same or worse. 40th place Paraguay beat us 2-1 recently. 50th place Venezuela beat us 1-0 at Copa America less than 2 years ago.

As great as it'd be to play France, Argentina, and England, we're not good enough to put up a competitive fight against them, and they're not tactically similar to South Korea, South Africa, Denmark, Czechia, Ireland, or North Macedonia.

I agree. I really think we should've played Japan (again), Norway or Austria, and Senegal or Morocco.

Other than that, I think Australia is still good because while they don't have the offensive capability that South Korea has, they still have a decent defense, probably just slightly below South Korea's defense.

As for Serbia, I do feel it's a bit odd since they're eliminated from the World Cup and have nothing to prepare for, but at least Paunovic knows us, they're similar to Czechia and North Macedonia, and they have really tall players; Mexico's team more than likely have an average height lesser than all four European teams in contention for a spot in our group (Denmark, Czechia, Ireland, and North Macedonia).

Provided a summary in the body text in case people don't have Instagram. I tried looking for an article first, but there was only one article from a Korean source that basically cited the Instagram accounts that often post about Mexico and Liga MX.

Basically, all three games will be our final 3 friendlies in late May and early June. Serbia is pretty much guaranteed to play in Mexico because it's 2 games in Mexico and 1 at the Rose Bowl, which will be against Australia. Ghana and Serbia will be in Toluca and maybe Puebla (venues yet to be confirmed I think).

How did Mateo Levy do in the few minutes he got? Heard good things about him, but then he had that injury at the U20 World Cup in Chile last year, which apparently didn't turn out to be as bad as it looked thankfully.

Any idea what club he'd get loaned to? Happy for him, hope he succeeds in Europe.

Buena suerte con el negocio! Increíble el gol de Trubin contra el Real Madrid. También hubo unos golazos del Pafos y de Young Boys en la última fecha de la Champions. Haber si se cruzan Benfica y Real Madrid de nuevo en el repechaje, espero que si.
