Mexican Futbol is BROKEN and no one can fix it.

El Tri is in trouble, with the recent struggles against the USMNT, with the president of the Mexican Soccer federation(Yon de Luisa) resigning, the hiring of Diego Cocca and several allegations of corruption, could Mexico ever become a soccer superpower?

How can anyone fix Mexican soccer so they can reach their potential?

It’s 100% Corruption. As a Mexican, football has been Pay to Play and owners valuing money over talent development.

[greenraider]

It’s a shame, as easy as it is to enjoy a rivals shortcomings, this hurts the USMNT indirectly too. We need our main Rivals to be strong and pushing us to get better

[guacamoleunited]

The US saving Mexico's 2014 qualifying run on the final day stopped the facepalm that could have led to actual change for Mexican soccer in recent years.

[mitrahispana]

What’s bad isn’t just losing 3-0, but looking like trash while doing it. Argentina got stomped 3-0 by Croatia in 2018 but their players got back to work, won the next game, and then the entire World Cup in 2022.

[andh]

Something seems to be broken after the players go past the u17/u20 levels. Mexico has good youth development winning youth world cups but then the development stops after that somehow.

I agree with you on the corruption part but México's mentality is also huge reason why they're so mediocre. For starters some players prefer to stay in México since they'll be treated like a star, can get away with mediocre performances since the media will always ride their meat regardless of how bad they play, in Mexico managers aren't as rigid as they are in Europe and that's turn off for them since they won't get away with their off the pitch bullshit and have to prove themselves worthy of being a starter, and lastly Mexicans in general are very conformist and are happy with very little.

Im mexican american and I love both national teams and I will never stop going for mexico but the problems are there and it’s embarrassing how bad we are 😭😭😭😭

Some fun facts from the video that may need a maybe incorrect explanation:

The "Gentlemen's Agreement" is basically the anti-transfer rules of football. In normal football market, if your contract with a team ends, you have the option to renegotiate or leave on a free to a new team. In Mexico, the Liga MX owners made an extra "secret" rule that if your contract ends with a team and you want to move to another team in Liga MX, the new team must pay a fee to the old club as if you're still employed to the old club. If that new team doesn't want to pay the fee, you are either stuck with playing for your old employers or move out of Mexico and play for a foreign team since they can't charge them the fee. If you return to play in the Liga MX, the fee will also return. This obviously harms any youth player looking to break out as clubs who have academies basically have 100% of the power over their careers in Mexico.

The Morelia incident was that Monarcas Morelia, an almost 70 year old club at the time, were planning to move to Mazatlan, Sinaloa. The team were owned by Grupo Salinas, who has the third richest man in Mexico as the chairman. The move was basically because Mazatlan is a popular tourist destination, especially more due to the show Narcos, and that the Sinaloa State government offered them a $600 million pesos package that includes the construction of the new stadium. Despite a pretty big protest march, the relocation went through. The city of Morelia was without any football team until the COVID-19 pandemic where they were offered a team spot in the new 2nd division Liga Expansion MX, a second division that has no relegation system from Liga MX and a promotion system so strict, it might as well not exist. A new ownership group bought the rights and logo to Monarcas Morelia and became Atletico Morelia, the team's name before the rename in the 1999-2000 season.

After this video, a new proposition was sent by Liga MX owners to vote on. Which is the usual talk of brining back pro/reg, ending multi-team ownership, reducing foreigners in the league and other usual talk but no walk issues. Afterwards, the said chairman of Grupo Salinas, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, has also tweeted his ideas to fix Mexican football. The important stuff was that he also wanted to close Liga MX and introduce "Financial Fair Play". These points went down like lead as people realize that the Liga MX owners really want to be Mexican MLS. It also really didn't help that in a press conference, the new president of the Football Federation, Alejandro Irarragorri, basically said stuff that can be shorten to "No pro/reg because the MLS is very successful without it" and "Get Ready To Learn American Buddy!".

Lastly, Mexican Football is getting dunked by every other Mexican sport fans such as baseball due to Mexico reaching wbc 2023 semis or Basketball due to Mexico finally making the FIBA World Cup.

(Opinion)
After yersterdays game you really see that the Mexican sooccer level is falling down harshly. Cocca put Henry Martin a player who wasn't in top form over Santi Gimenenez who was in top form in Feyenoord. He made changes after the second goal, which he should have done at the start of the second half. In the two previous friendlies the main squad had mostly players that weren't going to participate in the Nations League or Gold Cup instead of playing the main squad for those tournaments. During the interview he just made excuses. In Argentina if they would have lost 3-0 against Brasil, he would have been kicked out from the coach position immediately, but it seems he is going to stay. Most of the US players are in top teams on the bench or subs but even then they beat us.

(Soultion)
We as fans have more power than we realize. For starters "STOP GOING TO THE GAMES. STOP BUYING THE MERCHANDISE" We as fans need to veto the Mexican federation because its apparent they only care about money. Pass the word tell all your friends and family memebers, in person or social media to not attend the games or buy the merchandise. If one game (upcoming) third place Nations League (Mexico vs Panama) no one goes they will lose thousand to millions of dollars. Only then they will realize things need to change. For the Gold Cup don't go. They should at least make it to the final, but after this game I doubt they will even make it there. This is not a one man job if we want things to change we need to gather in numbers to veto the Mexican Soccer Federation. The best performances of Mexico have been with Mexican coaches (Confederations Cup - Manuel Lapuente (Mex), Copa Sudamericana - Enrique Meza (Mex), Olympic Gold Medal - Luis Fernando Tena (Mex), Olympic Bronze Medal - Jaime Lozano (Mex)). Some of the worst moments have been with foreign coaches (7-0 Juan Carlos Osorio (Col), Fifa World Cup 2022 Gerardo Martino (Arg)). The feredation puts coaches they control and tell them which players to go on the roster. Its easier to control a foreign coach since they don't care as much as a Mexican coach. If not then don't complain that things don't change.

What a masterpiece. Another 5/5. Thank you!

[devilssonify]

Los expulsados 👍🏽 great chanel . They really go deep into the subjects they touch

[barryallen]

I grew up loving Mexico and till this day I am a chivas fan de corazón. And honestly they have so much potential. They just never play their best players, always have good players choosing to stay in Mexico to earn more money instead of diving into Europe.

[erniefernandezhernandez]

Another problem is the short tournament format in Liga MX where 12 of 18 teams pass on to the "playoff" stage, so basically all 18 teams are alive for almost every week of the tournament. You can be absolute trash for 13 weeks, then win a few games in a row to end the regular season, and be well on your way to a championship if the cards fall your way.

[Darkskyable]

No matter how bad we get, no matter how bad we get defeated, i can never abandon the team. I will never root for the US and i will never abandon the team in terms of support. I still believe in loyalty to country. But i will say this, it is painful at the moment. A massive pain.

[re-tire]

Que maldicion de extrente. Viva Chivas. Mexico doesn't even play friendly home matches in Mexico, they are required to play in US to get more money. Good video, but as you said there are so many reasons. The media, owners, agents and local officials all have vested interests in putting their players on the national equipo.

[GojiCenter]

At this rate San Marino will likely have a world cup title before Mexico

[DominicanStud]

I love that you covered this topic. It’s different than your usual content, and it was very interesting.

[ohudidntknow]

Excellent video, Tact! Probably the most thorough video essay I’ve seen on MX soccer from a non MX standpoint. Good work here.

[alexanderaguilastratt]

Dude. What a great narrative. Well done!

[Brownpoptarttt]

100% on point man … I used to be a die hard fan for Mexico, but growing up I realized that pretty much everything they do is for business. Corruption in Mexico is everywhere, and sadly it will still keep going due to the fact that Mexicans will give more attention to the sport than the country’s issues . It’s all a rabbit hole like you said . Otherwise, great video 🫡
