Mexico's Football Related Random Thoughts Thread - Volumen Cincuenta Dos

Mexico is the Powerhouse of the region dominating the CCCL, what benefit does it give MNT?

It's a bad thing because sooner or later they will turn things around in the CONCACAF Champions League plus you would be helping the USNT either by weakening the Mexican NT or improving it. Facing guys like Pizarro or even better players is going to be a plus for them while Mexico now has to settle for old chileans like Morelia has. This is a bad thing.

Stronger USNT? I don't think you can make that assumption. MLS is stronger now than it's ever been, yet the USNT is at its worst point in decades. MLS can only become strong on the backs of foreign players who will take minutes away from young US players. Regardless, the Mexican NT would be largely unaffected by all that.

There is some merit to the CCL argument, but I don't see it completely flipping as you seem to be suggesting. MLS will still have salary caps on the big teams in order to keep the small teams competitive. The big spenders in Liga MX will still be competitive. It will just mean MLS wins some, Liga MX wins some. Which honestly would make the tournament far more compelling.

The Cost of Arbitration for Sport has decided that River Plate will play two games behind closed doors in this year's #Libertadores as punishment for the 2018 final.

You know it’s absolutely mind boggling to me how these journos pushing MLS as if MLS/US soccer has Mexico in its best interests.

the MLS/US Soccer wet dream is to continue buy prime Mexican players, increase viewership and marketing, surpass liga Mx, all while sending US players abroad. As soon as MLS hits a point where its to be way superior to Liga Mx, who says they’re going to want Mexicans anymore? If they can buy massive caliber players, why would they have Mexican players in its mind anymore? They don’t owe them anything...

they literally want to pimp our Mexican players for their own interests, not to grow Mexican soccer. It’s blatant.

Yup

Only way you can reverse that trend is by not calling up players that play in the MLS anymore like in the good ole days.
