In a shock to no one, Adidas decided to give us a green jersey for the upcoming World Cup. It will also be the first jersey to feature the new crest. The old crest will always hold a special place in my heart but the new one has grown on me since it was announced. As it with all their World Cup kits, Adidas is using their new logo as well. So, there’s a lot going on in this kit. How did it turn out?

After 14 World Cup Qualifying matches, a million moleros, and an untold number of “Fuera Tata” chants, we now know who Mexico will face at the World Cup. They are joined in Group C by Argentina, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. How does the group stack up for El Tri?

Being the manager of the Mexican National Team is a thankless job with immense pressure. The media scrutiny is intense and you are expected to win everything in CONCACAF but at the same time, rarely given credit for doing so because CONCACAF is no CONMEBOL or UEFA. Add in a fanbase that expects you to win every game in an enjoyable fashion and it is easy to see why there are few takers every time the position is open. I take all of this into account when I try to keep a level head after a rough Mexico game when El Tri twitter wants to fire Tata.

No longer is it rare to turn on your TV early Saturday or Sunday morning and see a Mexican National team player playing in a European league. Of course, not all of them are easy to find on your program guide or preferred streaming service. It might be easy to turn on NBC and see Raul Jimenez playing against Chelsea but it might take some work to find Jesus Corona flying down the wings for Porto. I keep an updated Google Calendar with dates and kickoff times that will make it easier to know when these games are taking place but in this article, I’ll try to find where to watch those games. Whether its on TV or via a streaming service.

Yes, Mexico made it to the prestigious CONCACAF Nations League like we all predicted but it was a struggle getting there. Other than a 20-25 minute spurt in the first half did Mexico resemble itself. Costa Rica is no push over but they were missing several key players and were very far from full strength. So…. what happened?
