2026 FIFA World Cup

I get this sentiment, but you just gotta. Elite compete, I wish Mexico had some of that calm under immense pressure skill that they do.

 

I’d say Mexico had composure this time around. That we couldn’t beat England had more to do with lack of quality than lack of mentality.

 

The Mexico of other editions would not have brought back the match to a one point difference after going two down.

 

No vas a cojer wey.

 

He was staying in shape.

That's the IQ we're lacking.

 

Which Mexico NT in previous world cups have done that?

 

I seem to remember the 1998 team coming back from a 2-0 deficit against Belgium and the Netherlands

 

That's what we're dealing with. Those were some mentally tough players, and we had one higher IQ player: Blanco.

 

06 Mexico came back after being down to Iran

2010 Mexico didn't lose to the host and grouped France

2014 didn't lose to the host

2018 beat Germany that got grouped

2022 I don't remember it for some reason...

 

and I wouldn't say Mexico "crumbled" in 98 since they outplayed Germany. It was bad luck and that happens

 

In 94 they took Bulgaria's golden generation to PKs

 

Matador squandering a clear goal for the 2-0 and a Lara brain fart

 

Deserved, but that’s what happens when you invite him into the game by allowing him more touches. Don’t see how England will mentally recover from this
