Combine Conmebol and CONCACAF. Mexico, USA and Canadá will not grow as a soccer nation by playing jamaica, honduras and Guatemala.

[@Eyeyorot]

Hey, don't diss my country Jamaica 😅

[@eduardoaguilar8032]

The thing with that is they would play against those tougher teams in qualifying games to get in to the World Cup I agree with you but the US and Mexico wouldn’t want that because they would lose money

Jamaica beat all three before so what's your point?

[@rubenleon6873]

@@eduardoaguilar8032they will but if they combine them then that means there will be more spots for qualifying since they still need to meet a certain amount of teams to play the World Cup and even more now that the World Cup is gonna have more teams

Your right and the stupidest thing was to lose that panama game because they looked strongggg vs uruguay the number 1 team at copa america for me they decided to turn up the heat that late

[@dannymartinez8713]

Also have to note if the Conmebol wants to keep bringing the concocaf to the copa america, they won't always play it in the U.S. which means if mexico and usa had trouble playing in almost home fields advantage, pray for them when this tournament gets played in south america where the atmosphere and style is insanely different.

[@GAMMA187]

Mexico historically has done well playing in South America for Copa America matches. Even made it to the final a couple of times.

[@user-xn3vj4eu8l]

Problem is, CONMEBOL is so corrupted(CONCACAF ain't better but u get me),they held at US just want the US money,but does it really use it in the right way?(like improving themselves in every aspect)Are they gonna go back in the South America that only ONE country that actually can held?

[@alexzuniga7677]

Arguably Mexico had an didn’t have home advantage, yes there are Mexicans that fly to watch the games from Mexico, but most are us born Mexicans that go for the vibes and for the chance to connect to the cultural roots. The Mexican fans in Mexico are much more brutal, critical, and won’t stand for these subpar performances, if you thought the crowd was getting on the players in the US it’ll be 10x worse in Mexico it will force the players and management to improve

[@reubenblanco3021]

It didn’t matter Comenbal brought their own referees almost as if they insisted that if it’s going to a concacaf country they’re still gonna run it.

[@dp4812]

[@99.8Survivor]

Mexico has had 14 coaches in the last 20 years. Maybe it's the players?

[@exactlywhatineeded]

its called corruption. same things thats happening at man united. the owners impose restrictions on who they can play and how many from each team etc etc. televisa also owns America in the league mx so they always include players that will make them more money. there's more to it but that's the gist of it

[@JoseSalazar-kw8jb]

Rafa marquez is going to be the future learning from Barcelona B. Working for that organization. Being a captain, elite player, that's what I think Mexico needs.

[@yourheroes5874]

The issue isn’t coach. It’s the FMF who makes the calls by calling the players not the manager’s. Lozano is just a yes man

One one of the things I never understood is why does Mexico always plays with wingers when Mexico has always lacked the talent for wingers except for vela? Play to your strengths with 2 strikers

[@Ilfenomeno-sp2hk]

8:40 Santi Giménez is good, the difference is that when he plays in Europe with Ajax, he’s playing with European intelligent players that know how to play. Here with Mexico, you got a bunch of players that play Mexican League Soccer that don’t know how to play.

[@hgonz14]

Even Haaland couldn't score with Mexicos incompetent midfield and wingers. No one can play competitive with scrubs like Charly Rodriguez and Antuna on your team

[@brandongarcia4830]

Santi is good player but Mexico was so disorganized and not having proper chemistry that they never set the ball for him. With Feyenoord they have that chemistry and communication within the team. I went to the Mexico vs Brazil game and you can tell right away.

[@dcapitan7]

The thing that a lot of fans of 🇲🇽 ...and 🇺🇸 for that matter...do not realize is that other teams have improved within the Americas. Venezuela is actually a good team with talent. We have not seen the best from Ecuador yet, and that may be on their current coach. I'm still looking for the Ecuador that outplayed Holland in the WC. Panama actually has good players. You no longer can show up with your "B Team" or play with 10 men and expect to beat 🇵🇦. It's a new era of ⚽️ and people aren't quite picking up on that.

It's crucial that the Members of the USSF Board undergo a thorough evaluation. The problems start from the top, and we currently have ineffective leadership and no ambitious, visionary plan. Additionally, are there limitations on what we can pay the men's coach? Is it true that we can't offer a competitive salary for a top-tier manager because the men's coach cannot earn more than the women's coach, even though these are entirely different markets? • Cindy Parlow Cone • Nathán Goldberg Crenier • JT Batson • John Collins • Lisa Carnoy • Fritz Marth • John Motta • Carlos Cordeiro • Don Garber These board members are responsible for guiding the strategic direction and governance of U.S. Soccer.

Mexico doesn't develop talent. I have driven around many towns in Mexico and I have only seen 1 football field. Meanwhile in Canada for comparison, as soon as it gets nice the football fields are full and people are training. On top of that people are playing indoors year-round. It makes total sense why the two programs are trending in different directions. Canada has a ton of lower tier talent and its only a matter of time before they start producing even better players at the national level. If Mexico wants to change, they need to invest in youth sports, and not just in the big cities. Doesn't matter who their coach is. Gone are the days of just picking up poor kids that are self taught.
