re: Why doesn’t Mexico produce world class players?

Absolute nonsense The GOAT isn’t even that athletic. His “speed” is pure technique

The GOAT has (or Had) elite agility, quickness, and lower body strength/balance. But a team of Messi’s aren’t going to win a World Cup. You typically need beast central defenders and a quality DM to go with your smaller, quicker players. See Edson Alvarez being Mexico’s top player at the moment. The problem is these type of players are few and far between in Mexico. Add that to the perviously mentioned fact they aren’t sending their best players to Europe and that’s why they are currently stuck outside the top 15 teams in the world.
