I should visit the customer service forums more often.

[NachoNation]

I didn't think we needed a Mexican's abroad forum, but I was wrong.

I'm sure this subforum will be great as well.

[LMvCP]

dk suggested to me to read over the USA/UK N&A guidelines to see how we wanted to go about this forum.

i agree that certain threads like the following should not be in the new forum, but more so in the general Mex NT forum.

1. Here's my lineup threads, WC roster speculation.
2. My fringe player should be called up threads.
3. Joke threads.
4. 2010 threads.
5. Score prediction threads.
6. I have a random question threads.
8. X player should never wear the National Team jersey again.
9. Fan related threads like new jerseys, nick names, etc.
10. Media threads related to the announcers, ESPN, etc.

-----------------------------

I think we should stick to Pre/Post game analysis, Play-by-Play, interviews given by NT members (players, coaches, execs), final rosters (not speculation).

I think any historical fact should be welcomed and threads asking for historical events should also be welcomed

[OG Junglist]

just browsing throught the first 2 pages... im thinking these threads could go in the new forum

[sidspaceman]

If you guys want anymore threads moved just leave a link.

[LMvCP]

looking over the other threads...

i think these should be the guidelines for this new forum

This is afterall a subforum of the Mexico National team, to discuss news regarding the MNT, analysis of the MNT, and its history.

The DO's

Pre/PBP/Post game discusions. Remember to include [R] in the title thread

The Mens, Youth and Womens participation in any official tournament. Be sure to include link/source, dates, and if possible, a roster.

The Mens, Youth, and Womans participation in any previous official tournament. Each tournament (World Cup, Confed, Copa America, etc) should have an official thread to discuss and analyze and should also have a seperate random questions thread about each official tournament

Any historical account, anecdote, interview, picture, video regarding the Mexican NT, a tournament participated in, NT players, NT coaches.

Any official news handed out by the FMF or the CSN (Comision de Seleccion Nacionales) regarding the NT.


----------------------------------------------
The DONTS

No posting polls asking who is the best player, coach, roster, and/or system of play. ALthough the on the surface the author of the thread is trying to analyze a certain topic, most often than not these type of threads turn into popularity contest and not analytical. Posting an official poll from FIFA, ESPN, Televisa, TV Azteca, Grupo Mitosfsky is however acceptable.

No posting threads dedicated to prediction leagues, wagers, fanstasy football leagues.

No posting threads about possible rosters, coaches, and/or players unless the FMF releases information regarding them.

No posting threads about which player should be called up to the NT.

No posting random NT questions unless the question has a historical or analytical value.

--------------------------------------------------------

Remember, the point of this sub forum is to keep the gut feelings, sentiments, discriminations, prejudices, & personal feelings out of the conversation. In reality, nothing but facts should be posted. How we interpret those facts is what will make this subforum better.

Everything (or almost) should be backed up. Posting the link, the source, the book, the mag, the radio or TV show that you obtained the information from SHOULD be posted as well.

----------------------------------------------

Any more suggestions?

[Perndog2006]

what about scheduling? like a calendar or rumors of friendlies in the US..

[franco]

...anything from sponsorship or contratos to administrative decisiones...:cool:

[Chiquitibum]

after all suggestions/rules are done, why dont you create a new Rule Thread and sticky it.

that is the plan :D

i think when NT coach is officially chosen in 2 days, this sub forum will pick up.

Hopefully, we can sort out all the new rules by then and have it ready to go by tomorrow night.

I wanted to make an official thread of every World Cup. For example, "Road to 1938 WC"
"Road to 19XX WC"
etc

it would be nice, but I don't think a lot of people will participate (with facts, discussions, etc).

the old stuff... not too many will... but from 1970 to present... the info is fairly easy to get online (planetworldcup.com, rsssf.com, etc)

the book about Casarin (the one I just picked up) said something I never knew. I knew that Mexico did not participate in the 1938 World Cup, however I never knew why. Casarin stated that Mexico made a pact with Uruguay not to play the games because the Uruguayans felt betrayed by FIFA and the European nations for not assisting their World Cup. According to the book, Uruguay even offered to pay their trips (they made for Mexico). Only 4 European countries participated. The icing on the cake was when FIFA awarded France the 38 World Cup rather than going back to the Americas. If you recall, Italy hosted the 34 WC.

So, the Mexican FA honored the pact they made with Uruguay and decided to participate in the JCC (Central American and Caribbean games)
