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

No mames...seriously you’re PR.

Stick to beisbol...smh. You’re as bad as those mexispazzos on Twitter.

 

I don't disagree

I'm just highlighting the extreme knee jerk reactions that fans have after 1 game.

 

Don't feed the troll, Rafa, usted tranquilo.

 

I thought it was common knowledge that Pepi was the go to prospect? Regardless, I don't think this was a ******** up by the FMF sounds like he picked the nads. Good luck to him, aver como le va if he hits a rough streak or makes a serious mistake. Them spazzos only like minorities when they perform for them.

 

Lol @ some moron thinking all these posters are us citizens when many including myself were born in Mexico and live in Mexico.

 

lmaooo you know you’re on the wrong side when your siding with that guy

 

Lol, all this hype surrounding Pepsi

I’ve lost track of how many young players the Nads have hyped up after a few good performances against CONCACAF sides and they’ve amounted to nothing in the long run

 

Could easily be another Break Shea

 

@ them bruh...@Rafa te hablan.

 

I agree with you...

 

When did I take sides with him? All's I said was to not let your xenophobia get to him.

 

That's unfortunately the mentality of many Mexicans in México. Some of them legit call Mexican Americans gringos. They treat them on par with naturalizados. Despite all of that the FMF tried with Pepi we can't promise him a wc spot like the nads probably did.

 

I’ve stated my open confusion about the zero-sum MexAm situation lately

It’s like everyone forgets how the media can be

these people write stories. They need stories

We know they’ll write the sky is falling and a pot of. gold is at the end of some rainbow

that doesn’t mean we need to actually bunker down on some narrow point of view vis a vis someone’s background

don’t let pervasive insidious clickbait influence our actual perspectives and assessments

for me, I absolutely treasure all the stories that highlight immigration issues especially regarding the US

I idealistically think these stories change peoples brains about how they think about national identity and belonging

Well they can

I mean they could

I wish they would

It doesn’t fine but I said ‘idealistically’

 

Pero hazlo entender.

Exactly...we’re not at the point where we need to promise an unproven prospect a starting spot on the team.

 

CBS had a whole ass segment about choosing the other side (Mex) even though the player was born in the US.....A WHOLE ASS SEGMENT....

Will it ease the traitor narrative of most USMNT fans....no....but....at least a network is trying to create something that won't vilify those who pick one NT over the other

 

When he said he produced a segment at CBS and then I saw that....I knew it was him.

Other networks don't have that conversation

 

The media isn’t likely to frame a useful narrative around the fluidity of national identity

we’re really relying on it marginally resonating as a thought exercise for people already inclined to open their aperture

but plenty of people are interested in world football so it’s an opportunity

national competitions are supposed to highlight the false construct of national identity

that we’re all humans playing by the same rules and executing against the same tactical strategic schemes - effectively

We’re preaching to the choir and hoping to amplify our net promoter score

 

dope

 

I agree that we need to get the best prospects. Mexico doesn't have the advantage of having a large multi ethnic pool of potential talent. Mexicans in Mexico need to understand that and be more welcoming to "foreign" players aka members of the dispora. However, we also can't beg and make promises. The only thing we can do is get rid of the idiot coaches at the youth level. BTW I don't think Marcelo Flores is going to Canada. I'm sure he wants to make the WC for sure every 4 years. The nads are a bigger threat because they are close to our level and are willing to beg.
