Vasco’s First Roster
El Vasco Aguirre is back but this march to the World Cup will be different than he has experienced before. With Mexico being a host, there wont be any World Cup Qualifiers and it will be tough to find high quality opponents who wont be busy with their own qualifiers.

Mexico Continues U17 Dominance, So What?
Mexico capped off their 5th consecutive CONCACAF U17 Tournament win against the USMNT, winning 3-1 in Guatemala this past weekend.

Here for a Good Time or a Long Time?
The World Cup is finally here. How are Mexico fans feeling? …… Yeah, I’m not making any plans for us to be in the final on December 18th either. But I don’t think things are as bad as many are making them out to be for El Tri. Maybe it’s the optimistic in me but I think Mexico is more likely to end their tournament in the knockout round instead of the group stage in Qatar.
