Players who were born in France and came up in France's system but don't play for France. What would you guys call them? Sure the fact that he calls us Spain's leftovers goes to show he took it as a personal attack against his nation but it obviously wasn't.

Tata Martino saying the 2-2 draw vs. Algeria was a fair result over the 90 minutes. "It was intense. Back and forth. A good game to make conclusions." #eltrieng— Tom Marshall (@mexicoworldcup) October 13, 2020

Jonathan dos Santos - LCM - 5/10Wasn't involved in much of the build-up and should have done more to help win back control of the midfield. An early yellow on one of his tackles likely had him playing more conservatively. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020 Luis Romo - DM - 5.5/10Too defensive and allowed Algeria to take over the midfield, although that was perhaps Tata's tactical decision. Spent most of the game dishing out conservative passes. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020 Nestor Araujo - RCB - 6/10Undoubtedly had some vital clearances but also did little to stop a number of Algeria's attacking opportunities. Still not sure if he should be one of Mexico's go-to starting options in defense. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020 Hector Moreno - LCB - 6.5/10Seen better and worse from Moreno. Had a couple of crucial clearances and was important with his distribution, but also looked a bit slow when trying to stifle Algeria's attacking movement. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020
Hector Herrera - RCM - 7/10Herrera lost the ball, created dangerous chances, had 2 awful shots, later hit the post, helped create the 1st goal, stumbled in defense...the list goes on. He clearly isn't at his top form, but he was the hardest-working player for Mexico. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020 Raul Jimenez - ST - 7.5/10Today once again showcased why Jimenez is much more than just a goalscorer. In a game in which his finishing should have been much better, Jimenez compensated for his questionable shots with two assists that clinched the draw. #ElTriEng— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020 Ratings are only for the starters, but also have to give a quick shout-out to Diego Lainez for scoring Mexico's equalizer. Big moment in the early days of his career.— Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) October 13, 2020
Algo pasó con Héctor Herrera desde que llegó al Atlético. Tengo la impresión de que, para tratar de competir en lo físico, exageró con el gimnasio, y la consecuencia es que está lento y pesadísimo.— Martín del Palacio (@martindelp) October 13, 2020 Is it?
Tata Martino on Rodolfo Pizarro: He’s not shown his best version in either game. I thought he was better today than against the Netherlands … he’s a player that is part of the process. #eltrieng— Tom Marshall (@mexicoworldcup) October 13, 2020

Raúl Jiménez no es delantero, es jugador. Y qué jugador. Dos asistencias en un partido durísimo vs Argelia. El "Scocco" de Martino en Selección.— Pepe Del Bosque (@PepedelBosque) October 13, 2020
I don't like our goalkeeping situation, the only good keep we got is Talavera If only Corona would retire
Ochoa in selección is a different beast while Talavera's game against Netherlands is honestly the first good one I remember from him. Hoping they start giving shots to guys like Acevedo and Malagón.
