Osorio Names Squad for Belgium/Poland Friendlies. Any Surprises?

Posted on November 3, 2017 | 1 comment

For the first time since November 2014, Mexico is on its way to Europe for a couple of friendlies. This time around it will be Belgium (FIFA rank: 5) and Poland (FIFA rank: 6). El Tri rarely leave the friendly and lucrative confines of the US for friendlies and this will present Osorio with a good chance to see his squad against top teams. The base for his 2018 squad should be clear but there are still spots up for grabs and it would be a good idea to give some players a chance to play. With the squad announced, let’s see if Osorio had any surprises up his sleeves….

Key Passes: 11/2/17

Posted on November 2, 2017 | Comments Off on Key Passes: 11/2/17

Here are today’s Key Passes. A little later than usual but still just as good. I know the goal above happened in a U17 game but it is one of my favorite goals scored. His club career is kinda of stalled but Julio Gomez aka La Momia will always have this goal.

Mexico’s World Cup 2018 kits leaked all the way back in January but they have not been officially announced. The latest leaked of official images likely mean an announcement from Adidas is not too far off.

Key Passes: 10/26/17

A quiet day but please enjoy this golazo from Jared Borgetti. Temo Blanco delivered a great ball but this goal was all El Zorro del Desierto and his great header/ Gigi Buffon could do nothing but just watch.

El Principito droppin’ dimes in La Liga

 

A Key Pass is defined as a pass that leads to a shot on goal by a teammate. In this post, I am trying to lead the reader to some good soccer content. There is so much going on that it is easy to miss. I hope to do these a few times a week. I will gladly take any suggestions if you find something cool online, send it my way. Whether its a nice kit from an obscure team or a golazo in a random college soccer game.

Fresh Take on Mexico’s Kit

Posted on September 26, 2017 | Comments Off on Fresh Take on Mexico’s Kit

 

I am always up for teams changing up their kits every once in a while. Especially if they go outside the box. Graphic Designer Franco Carabajal does just that in his National Team “Flag” kits. He uses the flag of each country as the base for their kits. Luckily, he created a Mexico kit and I believe, it is much better than the leaked Adidas kit for the 2018 World Cup.

Mexico FIFA 18 Ratings

Posted on September 25, 2017 | 1 comment

 

The newest version of FIFA is out real soon and most of the player ratings are out. These player ratings are taken from the Ultimate Team portion of the game. Unlike Osorio, I am looking at their rating in their natural positions. Also, they are from their basic versions. In FIFA 17, several Mexican National Team players received TOTW cards and even TOTY cards. FIFA 18 should be no different. With all that being said, let’s see what the people from EA think…
