Tata’s Time Almost Up?

February 1, 2022 / Raul

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. My friends/followers think I’m a “Tata Apologist” but I just never saw the benefit in making a coaching switch. Until now…

Mexico has basically sent their A-team to the Gold Cup and are in a group where the other 3 countries are ranked by FIFA as 127th, 103rd, and 69th in the world. It has cake walk written all over it. But as Mexico fans, you all know its never that easy in CONCACAF…

WTF Was That?

June 4, 2021 / Raul

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?
