Mexico’s national teams have had a Summer to forget. Every national team representing Mexico at a large international tournament has suffered failure.
With Mexico failing on all fronts this Summer, fans have emitted a collective groan of disappointment.
The Mexican saying, “They played like never before but lost like always,” can’t even be used in these circumstances. It’s been more of “there they go again, blowing their opportunity for international glory.”
When DeAndre Yedlin was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur in 2014, it was music to Jurgen Klinsmann’s ears as he finally began to see more American national players move to Europe. As the MLS continues to grow and develop into an elite league, it becomes very important for players on Klinsmann’s current roster to play big European matches.
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera recently came out stating that Javier Chicharito Hernandez could have been at the Copa America if it hadn’t been for some confusion with the Mexican Soccer Federation.
In only their third World Cup, Mexico’s women are still fighting to stay alive in a tournament where they haven't scored a win.
After games against Colombia and England, El Tri Femenil continue their World Cup campaign against France. Can they get a result? They need to if they’ll want any chance of progressing to the next stage.
Without a win, a first for Mexico at a World Cup, Mexico will be eliminated at the group stage of the tournament.
Mexico’s pre-Copa America preparations are done and over with. The real deal has started for El Tri, but their performance against their first opponent, Bolivia, has fans wondering whether they are up for the challenge.
In their Group A match in the Estadio Sausalito in Vina de Mar, Mexico left fans hoping for more. They failed to spark into life in their first Copa America test, drawing the match against Bolivia 0-0.
Ok, seriously guys, what is happening with the world? The United States was not supposed to be this good, this quickly. Jurgen Klinsmann wasn’t supposed to be finding kids practically off the street — or Straße, in this case — and turn them into world beaters. We shouldn’t have been up 2-1 at any point against Portugal in the World Cup. We shouldn’t have pulled off that ridiculous comeback against the Dutch last Friday.
With the Copa America and the Gold Cup coming up this summer, Miguel “El Piojo” Herrera managed to take some time away from his commitments with the national team to voice his thoughts on Mexico’s upcoming elections.
The Mexican Soccer Federation is investigating whether or not Herrera violated any policies involved with the national team.
Herrera had this to say about the country's elections:
After an amazing 4-3 win in a comeback against the Dutch, the Americans continue to Germany to take on Jogi Low's World Cup winning team.
