Is not being about being among the best it's about staying in your own territory you dumb ass. It's a south american tournament by the way....Mexico sucks ass anyways...We should invite an european team to spice teams up not some fart nation full of short ugly monkeys.

I always laugh when I see idiots get worked up an post stupid comments about others. It is either a pretty good reflection of how the person is in the "real world" or this is the only place where they can get away (physically) with comments like those.

Please refrain from making racial slurs, etc.

Anyway

• Mexico have qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals 12 times  more often than world powers such as France and England for example. And their best results have come when they have hosted the tournament.
• They reached the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986, on both occasions losing to the eventual runners-up. In 1970, Italy defeated them 4-1 and in 1986, the home team were devastated after losing the penalty shoot-out with Germany.
• The Mexicans have collected their fair share of silverware in regional tournaments, including the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Central America Championships, CONCACAF Champions Cup and Pan-American Games.

Mexico is a good team, they shouldn't be taken lightly at anytime. I mean, even the big power houses like argentina, italy and brazil always mention that mexico is never to be underestimated when they face them. I think that mexico plays best when facing a big opponent like those three dogs. They also lower their level when facing other lesser teams. I know that mexico isn't the best in the world, maybe not even top five, but they do rank somewhere in the top ten.

W.C. 2002 was a god cup for mexico. Before the world cup began, I remember a lot of you guys mentioning that mexico would not make it to the next round, that Italy and croatia would surely run over them. Mexico would be humilated by totti and crew... you get the idea. They went and played well against both teams, even came out on top of their group. The italians were desperate and trying to tie the game. Once they did, the game pretty much ended. Anyhow... Mexico is an exciting team to watch, you haters must admit that you were probably wishing that we got eliminated early. Why we lost to the US... I don't know. From the final 16 and on, the games were poorly ref'd. Italy should of not lost, spain was clearly cheated, turkey was also discriminated... and on and on.... but... I'm not saying mexico is No. 1 in all of the universe, I'm just saying that they're good. I also think that Mexico has an issue when it comes to the World Cup. Since their previous performances haven't been exactly great when it comes to the final 16, I think that their mentality becomes negative. I would say something like the "bambino curse" on the redsox. For ages they told themselves it was impossible to win the W.S. because they were cursed, but they eventually got over it. Mexico might suprise us once again in the next W.C.

If you people make your remarks based on stereotyping and racism, then please consider yourselves ignorant. It's easy to watch and criticize soccer teams and players, and it's another to be out there. If you guys think that you're better than players in mexico, then why aren't you playing in big leagues? Why don't you go to Mexico, get drafted into a club and show us (Mexicans), how horrible we are at futbol?Are you too fat? Are you slow? out of shape... please give people the respect that they deserve.

[ricoo9]

this is how i truly feel about mexico

R U FREAKING CRAZY?????????????????? MEXICO TOP 10????? thats the most craziest, stupidest thing i have ever heard........ IF mexico is so great then why dont they win a REAL tournament like COPA America OR The WORLD CUP? THe only thing they ever win is Gold Cup where they go against the worst teams in the world like haiti and cuba and guatemala... teams that dont ever have a chance even against sorry teams from asia...and ok..maybe mexico has a couple of good players but their not even mexican, their best player is a brasilian and an argentinan. so yeah sure Mexico qualifies all the time but who do they have to beat?? They should make concacaaf and conmebol play together for qualifying matches for WC and we'll see if they keep qualifying.......
here are teams that r way better than mexico....and i can name more than 10
1.Brazil
2.Argentina
3. Italy
4. SPain
5.Germany
6.Netherlands
7.Portugal
8.France
9.England
10. czech republic
11.Uruguay
12.paraguay
13.colombia
14.USA................ ok should i keep going? all these teams have world class players playing in the Top leagues of the world and all are way superior players than the mexicans and are 1000 times more recognized around the world............. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
