Didn't realize Mexico had Americans playing for them. Anyone know if they just weren't good enough in the US set up. Or us this more of my Mexican heritage is more important.


In Gutierrez’s case, he played internationally for the U.S. all the way until last year (including a couple friendlies with the senior team) before making the one-time switch in November. Also came up through the Chicago Fire academy.

He was more or less buried with us - not replacing our attacking mid-fielders or our wingers as it currently stands. The window is pretty tight to ever get a chance to play a World Cup, especially for a good-but-not-superstar like Gutierrez, so I get it.

Less sure about Vargas - assume the same, really (came up through Sounders system, played internationally for the U.S. until 2024).

Man they looked like they didn't even want to score

It would be really fricked up and annoying if the Mexicans win this tournament

To borrow from the brits, Ecuador was toothless today.

Too talented to play this arse

The midfield of Garcia Aspe, Galindo, Ramon Ramirez and Coyote were a handful......I hated those frickers tho

What did he say?

I would bet it was something very mean and perhaps threatening

If Mexico kept up that first half pace I'd be feeling much different about the matchup with England. The atmosphere will give them a chance, but England would have to play poorly still.

Praise God. The Arsenal needs him with Gabriel and Saliba likely making deep runs

Not the red card we wanted, but the red card Ecuador deserves.

He told Santi "We won't finish in the champions league spots this year"

I don't think the Mexican midfield and backline is worth a frick. Call me a hater but they do have 3 decent to good attackers
