And to think that one of the best ever back threes is Mexican: Salcido-Rafa-Osorio. FUIMOS FELICES Y NO LO SABÍAMOS.

Arte mexicano.
From 13 years ago lol
This is Giovani dos Santos' best interview. From 11 years ago: elpais.com/deportes/201... lots of great quotes, and he comes through as the special player that he was in the history of Mexican football.
The World Cup is supposed to inspire hope and unity. This one feels different www.nytimes.com/athletic/707... #TopRead
No matter how they want to paint or belittle it, but the fact that there’s already a notorious Mexican-American presence in El Tri ahead of the 2026 WC is a big development, the start of the new era is already rolling. #ElTrieng
Today's presser showed a very tense Vasco Aguirre. A lot has to do with recent events in Mexico, but also he's aware that he's weeks away from practically picking his final roster, and there's still lots of doubts on who will be available in March. #ElTrieng
Every time, Vasco makes a bad comment, I like going back to this: youtu.be/ET6oUbQ2KzM?... Agree totally with what German Dehesa said back in 2010.
Este año la nieve si nos está chingando bonito 😅
A must watch interview, youtu.be/D1X2Zojtm4E?... Alvaro Fidalgo opens up about that March call-up with El Tri. #ElTrieng
There's some things that you're not supposed to say, "I was sure I wasn't going to call up Obed Vargas," Vasco said. He then proceeded on saying that the move to Atleti changed everything, and now he "has to look at him." No public relations training in the FMF, Aguirre can say whatever he wants.
I think it needs to be said, that as we see more and more cases of foreigners adapting to the Saudi league and lifestyle, it needs to be applauded how Julian Quiñones has excelled in that environment. He deserves a start or two in March, let's see if Vasco has the guts to do it. #ElTrieng
Is individualism dead? The latest Libero…

Also, the long camp is just a product of the TV network that makes a lot of the calls still. More drama when you have the squad for over a month, more time to do commercials as well. No need for a long camp ahead of a WC. #ElTrieng
The state of Mexican soccer is always a mixture of hope and disarray. The FMF announces friendlies prior to the World Cup and because of what happened in Torreon, and the poor mismanagement of Estadio Azteca's remodeling, they don't know where in Mexico they will have those friendlies.
There's no major issue if Edson isn't 100% by the start of the WC. His contributions could be more important once the knockout rounds start. #ElTrieng
There's levels of drops, and there's different circumstances that lead to them, but Chucky's drop has to be studied. One of the worst ones I can remember in Mexican football history because he showed so much promise between 2017 and 2020. #ElTrieng
Important read. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
No water or electricity, and children begging in streets filled with rubbish – but this is why I won’t leave Cuba
Next game against Iceland is later this month, not a FIFA date. Closest roster to the WC will be the March FIFA dates, expecting a call-up of around 28 players for that one.
The news of Edson Alvarez's possible surgery means he will not arrive to the 2026 WC at 100%. There are enough players to cover his absence, and one of those players will be Diego Campillo. #ElTrieng
Campillo is special, what a defender he’ll become in the next years. #LigaMXeng
What makes Alvaro Fidalgo a special addition to El Tri? This video says it all. The way he responds, with the care and respect everyone deserves. El Tri has their midfield leader ahead of the 2026 WC. My lines: delejitos.substack.com/p/el-tris-mi...
America heading to the Clasico Nacional without Zendejas, tricky stuff for Jardine. More than half of America's attack dissipates with Zendejas out.
Did you know that Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras performed "Nessun Dorma” at the Dodgers Stadium in 1994. It captivated 1.3 billion viewers worldwide the night before the US World Cup final.
They didn’t sing in English.
I'm intrigued to see the outcome, but it's very noticeable that several Argentine footballers are taking the calm route ahead of the World Cup. All of them want to arrive to the WC in peak form, we'll see how that looks in the Finalissima next month.
Have always admired your work Matt, and analyzing US soccer through your work will always be essential. Wish you all the best with your new projects 🫡
The next weeks for Atleti will be interesting because it will determine the continuation of the Cholo Simeone era. If Cholo ends his tenure this summer, I wouldn't be surprised if Filipe Luis becomes Atleti's new manager. Something to keep an eye on in the next weeks with Obed Vargas.
Rafaela Pimenta is doing more for MX football than all the Televisa-baptized directivos that have held power in the Mexican Football Federation. #ElTrieng
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
