There's no way Rafa is even close to the most talented. Cuautemoc had the most heart imo. We've had plenty of supremely talented players, they just didn't have ganas. Bofo is a prime example of someone who had talent but couldn't or wouldn't put it all together.
off topic, but if there is one Nad I've never had ill will against, it's Stu Holden. When I watch Mexico games on Fox I always hope he is in the booth. He isn't a homer like all the other guys and seems to always just state facts
Probably not back to Europe. Unless his wife doesn't like LA anymore. Maybe Mexico. I have a feeling he will retire with LAFC though. [emoji120][emoji106][emoji108]
This is what plagues MLS He’s amazing, but it’s not like I’m moved to check ticket availability I’m more interested in the Orange County Soccer Club full of nobodies
I imagine a timeline where Vela never ********ed up his knee and didn't have to get knee surgery after his killer 2014 season. Those two goals against the Netherlands that fall are the turning point of his career and he enters the following summer market as one of the hottest upcoming players. He then gets picked up by a top club like Griezmann did and cements his status as an undisputed world-class player. Instead, he got that surgery in early 2015 and hobbled the next two to three years with a bum knee. Eventually leading to his transfer to the MLS where he seems to be somewhat healthy but still shows symptoms of his past knee problems. Still, he shows signs of what could have been. Y'all can keep shiting on him but Vela is the most talented Mexican player of this generation who got the rug pulled out from underneath him due to health problems.

Así, tal cual dice Marc.Cuando tengamos 23 del nivel de Carlos Vela nos podemos poner dignos con que a nadie se le ruega. Mientras tengamos UNO, nunca es tarde para recuperarlo.Y si de paso lo podemos sacar de la MLS, mejor... https://t.co/0ybfAfH27z— Luis Herrera 🍕 (@luisrha) August 22, 2019

Subbed off after scoring to tie the score at 3-3. Was favoring his hamstring, but apparently only precautionary. El enojo de Carlos Vela tras ser sustituido pic.twitter.com/wLGEiFNIOs— Fernando Cevallos (@FerCevallosF) August 26, 2019
