      Bro needs to focus on LigaMx losing grip as the main soccer power in North America bc the past few years it’s been changing to MLS…….. just saying

      But HH isn’t a world class futbol player, Athletico Madrid was too good for him let’s be honest like Mexican players have been mediocre and nothing more Vela could’ve been a great but idk what happened there

      He needs to keep that same energy towards Liga MX which is marginally better than MLS at this point, if we are being objective.

      MLS is a league for young Americans, South Americans on the come up in there career. Then later they get transfer to higher better clubs. You have less and less retirement players coming to MLS.

      The selección need to get this World Cup over with and start from scratch look for talent find better coach for the league make teams go to copa libetarods top competition that’s all make selling players cheaper cuz Mexico looks bad selling players for 15 m and they flop

      The Mexican league isn’t any better but most of the Mexican team players play there. At least US has majority of players based in Europe and only a few fringe players in MLS

      Héctor Herrera was 32 when he joined MLS and not 33 almost 34. That said he was already for 2-3 seasons for Atleti playing half or less than half the games at that point. I get the national manager wanting the players in the top leagues but Héctor Herrera was already in a decline as a player.

      It would be ironic to see Tata back in MLS after he fails with Mexico. I'm an Atlanta United fan so it's hard for me to hear him say that. I hope Mexico doesn't win a single game in the WC. Maybe Tata can go coach in China.

      Mexico needs to worry more about getting young players to Europe. This is Herrera's last World Cup, him moving to MLS for a couple months isn't going to affect him much.

      Herrera is where he belongs. He is no longer an elite player. All you have to do is watch Mexico's play and results with him in the starting lineup the last few years. Truely drive me crazy with his slow play and lack of energy in the midfield. Mexico's attack is slow and perdictable and nobody is scared to play us in the World Cup. Nobody. This is where Tata is missing the boat (his analysis of his talent and what this team needs – why would you leave your most dymamic 1v 1 player at home in Lainez) and why hes been so terrible as Mexico's coach. He's hanging onto the past. And this is what's probably going to lead to a three in out in Qatar.

      Honestly tata should not be having an opinion on this since he was a coach in mls it’s ridiculous 🤦‍♂️ it’s also known that tata doesn’t even pay much attention to Liga mls so why even mention any of that .
