Plus both the MEXICAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION AND THE LIGA MX, are ran by the same owners. A group of Mexican businesses elites. Mexican national is ran horribly. But Fans are also to blame.
What I’ve seen is that a good chunk of the Mexican fans really hate the moleros (the games played in the United States in cities with large Mexican American populations) and have been trying to tell Mexican-American fans not to show up to those games.
@@gbalph4 yeah I boicotted them since 2017. Buy you gotta admit Mexican fans in general are ignorant and naive when it comes to soccer. Thats why we get cooked by every one
I'll save you 12 Minutes: Mexico (national team and domestic league) have suffered from a shift in focus from a sporting focus to a financial focus. They know fans are passionate, so there is no need for the teams to perform because fans will support no matter what. Coupled with broadcasting station influence on games, players and coverage, it's now more than ever a show as opposed to a sport. They've gotten rid of relegation, they expanded the playoff spots from top 8 to top 12 to accomodate "TOP" teams underperforming. Players that come through academies are no longer coming through based on talent, but based on who the players know and how 'marketable they are'. Even still, it's easier for teams to buy a foreign player ready for the first team, than to raise a local academy prospect. Business has taken over the sport, and this the sporting results have fallen. Fans are now showing the frustration, attendance has fallen, hurting the pockets of the owners of the league and the teams. Mexican soccer needs competition, because the broadcasting stations have a monopoly, 1 broadcasting station owns about half the league, which then pushes influence into the national team.
Actually attendances have declined a lot. Stadiums that can fill 30K fans barely get 7-8K nowadays. Only during important rivalry matches they fill the stadiums, and only 3 or 4 teams consistently fill their stadium.
I remember watching Mexico finish 3rd in the World Baseball Classic, and even though they lost to Japan it was such a breath of fresh air seeing a team representing Mexico play with passion. Meanwhile in futbol, the Mexican team is a joke.
@@nollienick1121 Who plays baseball? Cuba, Venezuela, Japan. The list is not much longer. In Mexico soccer is much bigger, yet their best teams could never get out of the round of 16 at World Cups. That shows you the level of competition.
I remember flying from guadalajara to tijuana and was on the same flight as the TJ players. They were not sad at all. They werent discussing the game. A lot of them were lookjng at nfl highlights. Its clear there is no passion for the team they play in/represent. Its just all business now a days however this was all started by the owners treating players like pawns. No respect towards players so the players bring that attitude right back. They could care less since they have guaranteed contracts
These ownership groups also do not value their fans. Prime example is Grupo Salinas who currently own Mazatlan FC. A club formed in 2020 as a relocation of MY club, Monarcas Morelia. A club that has remained in Morelia for 70 years.
You forgot a key element, Gambling Companies are balls deep in the liga mx not only owning stadiums but several teams too. Corruption is a serious poblem here.
If anything I'd argue we've had only scattered sparks and glimmers of hope in an otherwise mediocre, remarkably underwhelming and disappointing football history, the last of which was either the 2012 Olympic gold medal or the 2018 World Cup process all the way until the match vs Sweden.
Liga MX honestly wasn’t bad. It showed in the national team since most of the players played in MX. Many copa America finals and playing head on with anyone. Mexico used to be a dark horse for a long time and where great to watch. But around 2015 when Osorio became DT and made a squad that he overplayed and had no real style and became an embarrassment to watch after the big losses he had and still stuck with the same players even if there was great talent popping off he would ignore them. Then tata martino took over and didn’t develop nothing new and somehow made it to WC which was the worst in a long time. I call osorios era the lost generation because he had such good talent at the time just wasted. It went downhill after that and losing Copa libertadores and the descending in the league also hurt it badly
2018 world cup process?!?!?!?! they played like trash, barely winning more with luck than with anything. The match against Germany was the only good think of Osorio tenure, but then when SC won 2 - 0 against them we reallised Mexico won against the worst Germany of the last decades. That's the point i stopped watching our national team. I'm not stupid, i know our limits, but at least back then they played with heart.

Not only the owners of the clubs have more power than the league administration and have shifted to a purely profit-based approach, but adding to the problem I think the corruption is so blatant that the league allows the owners of the sports betting casino that sponsors the entire league to own a club, making it the biggest conflict of interest in modern sports imo. Stuff like that has led a lot of fans to suspect controversial calls in games or just plain matchfixing, leading to plummeting game attendance in the entire league.

Nothing much to say.
Mexico needs new talented players that are hungry for opportunity. The crooked ass Federation won't let unpopular players play as they won't make immediate profits for them.
To be fair and honest, I am a Mexican-American who was fortunate enough to be born in the US praise be to God but also live in Mexico and for a brief moment know the fact that USA and Mexico are 2 countries that have the passion and the fans. However, yes you are right that Mexico haven't been good outside of Mexico, it is worth noting that in 1986 Mexico advanced to the quarter finals, and ever since then, Mexico has NEVER advanced that far despite the many players I seen Mexico in the past now have like Jorge Campos, Jonathan and Giovani Dos Santos, Rafa Marquez, Hugo Sanchez. It shows how much Mexico wants to be in their comfort zone, and when I was in Mexico and asked several youth players whom I have had the opportunity to be playing and training with (I was 25 at the time) if they want to be professional, they said yes, but they never want to be in Europe, for not being able to speak any other language besides Spanish, for them leaving their families, for some of them not having the proper documentation or papers to apply or to go outside of Mexico, but also because they get pay in USD instead of Mexican pesos. If Mexico wants to be stellar in 2026, which will be 40 years since 1986 I am not sure they will be as good as the past players before. Even if they do have the chance to change, it will take more than just 20 months to do this considering the very short time span and the stubborness of the Mexican federation and with the non-compliance with many of the fans too. Cheers from USA amigo!
Mexico 🇲🇽 has been world champion 🏆 🥇 already.. it's already proven to have the talent enough to win.. Corruption n racism towards Mexico 🇲🇽 seeks to keep Mexico 🇲🇽 from winning, in favor of others.. Argentina is pro western Globalist, they think they decend from Europeans..lol Mexico 🇲🇽 is pro Nationalist n indigenous movement, it's clearly expressed in their flag with no apology to the world.. Globalists hate that n seek to keep Mexico 🇲🇽 subdued at all costs..
Mexico still has Olympic gold medal in soccer and bronze. One FIFA confederacions cup. Two sub 17 world cups . 3 third places in Copa America and two sub Copa America. Mexico still has more tournaments won after Argentina and Brasil and uruguay
Lo mejor que le puede pasar a la seleccion es quedar fuera en fase de grupos en 2026. Fuera en grupos en Qatar, quedar sin Olimpicos de Paris, hijo total de USA, fuera en grupos de Copa america, no es suficiente. Merecen ser humillados frente al mundo en su propio templo en el estadio telewila... "Mexico eliminado en fase de grupos en su propio mundial" y uniendose a el club exclusivo junto a Qatar, madre mia con QATAR lpm, serie algo hermoso. Ojala el futbol mexicano se desborone con ese fracaso historico y empiezen de zero con emphasis en futbol sobre dinero
As a chivas fan i hate they keep trying to stick to the "only mexican nationals". Other teams take advantage of that since they know chivas have limited options. Also the natuonal team seems more concerned with making money. Why the f would they play only in the US and barely in mexico? Weve seen how a stadium amd home advamtage affects the game but yet, they decide to male tournaments where both leagues play ONLY in the US. They also elevate players to "messi" levels as soon as they make a good play or a couple of nice goals. I also feel that with so many sponsors... one or 2 may have influence with the teams on who they hire or decisions they take.
A fantastic effort, albeit one where I noticed outdated figures and graphics, hyperbolic statements, missing context and some misinformation. The links between Mexico’s societal struggles and their relationship with soccer are mentioned, but never truly explained. Mainly, the video fails to mention a massive part of this story: the influence MLS and the USA have over the league and the football system itself. Still, I watched the whole thing. Attempts like these are always appreciated.
I've lived in the US for close to 40 years now. While the US is not a soccer power globally speaking, the way they are developing talent and the lack of overall corruption is pushing MLS in front of Liga MX. Sheer numbers show the difference. Over 200 US players are now in Europe. Barely 35 from Liga MX are over there. Personally I won't be following the Mexican team during the 2026 World Cup. I'm done with them. Me not following them won't make a difference of course. But I'm not going to spend my time, energy, and passion on a team that doesn't care about its fans anymore and that is in a clear downward spiral.
As an America fan this shii is honestly really sad. Sucks for Chivas too because if the NT is bad, they are bad since they are fielding only Mexican players. Good thing there is a trend of fans not going to the stadiums no more hopefully that starts to hurt the corrupters and leads to changes first starting w bringing back relegation, copa libertadores, México matches in México, fielding more younger players, and allowing each club there own ownership, no more dueños of 6 clubs !
The owners of the teams who run the entire show including the national team have taken Mexican football to the trash it’s a sad tragedy what they have done
Hmm i don't think safety is the reason people are losing interest in football over here. That has always been an issue but it didn't mattered, millions of people would watch matches and attend to their favorite team stadium. For me, the reasons are these: -No relegation/promotion. The 18 clubs got together and forced the idea that it would be "better for the league" with a bunch of stupid arguments, and since they control the money, they can do whatever they want (mostly the top 4 clubs). This makes the league more boring since there are not consequences of having a bad season, the bottom teams varely care. No exciting relegation/promotion race. Even if you dont root for any of the teams strugling, you still would follow them to see what happens. This also stops investment and development in the teams on the lower leagues, since they can't get to the top on sporting terms. The only way to reach the top division is through a bunch of roadblocks. The top teams claim that it's for the "improvement of the league" but we all know it's so they don't lose their influence and power. The idea that a bunch of teams on the top divisions on Spain, Italy and France and other top European legues wouldn't be able to join our league is aberrant. -Mediocre format. We already had a format that encouraged mediocrity (you could be placed 8th in the league, and still manage to be a champion with a couple of lucky wins), but now even if you are placed 12th and still have a chance to be a champion. So you can tank half the season and still manage to get in, so most matches doesn't matter. The league did this to generate more money with more matches but makes it boring to the regular supporter. -Popularity matters more than being in form. The players that go to the NT and play aren't our best most of the time, are the most popular, the ones with the most endorsements. Sponsors put a lot of preasure on our NT and federation so they field these players that they are using on their ads, and since our NT generate a lot of money through thiese deals, they often do what the sponsors say. Chicharito Hernandez, a Mexican legend, but from 2012-2014 he played like trash for the NT and still played even though Oribe Peralta (on of my favorite Mexican players ever) was on much better form. It took a lot of pressure from Mexican supporters to get him out of the starting line up. There are A LOT of examples, but thats one our international friends would know. Check what the late Sven-Göran Eriksson said during his time managing our NT. -Money speaks. "pacto de caballeros" as you mentioned. Great talent needing to pay bribes so they can get rise the ranks of their clubs. Important clubs having way too much influence on our federation, referee association and league, etc. Many many problems...
Sus actuaciones en las canchas han sido pero tan malas que la gente han pasado del cuestionar su apoyo a la seleccion a directamente no apoyarla y burlarse de ella
Simply put, the team owners and the mexican soccer authorities have managed mexican soccer in a very mediocre and short-sighted manner, they focused too hard on revenue and ignored quality and the outcome is just a painful truth in which Mexico blows at soccer and has no foreseeable way of getting better in the short run. They don't deserve mexican soccer fans who are now either moving on to other more productive hobbies like spending time with friends or family outside or self-improvement or they are switching to alternative and more entertaining (competitive) sports like NFL, MLB, boxing and even the local mexican baseball league. They have killed fútbol!.
It all sums up to bad short term decisions by directives and team owners. I believe that the ones that made more damage to the sport are: - Leaving the promotion-relegation system - Changed long tournament format to short - Championship decided by play-off format instead of scored points - Giving up to 10 teams out of 18 a chance to be champion (promotes mediocrity, not meritocracy) - Inflated salaries. Young players don't fell the need to migrate to better leagues in Europe - Nationalize low quality foreign players instead of debuting young locals cause they're more experienced and/or cheaper - Extending time periods to terminate multi ownership There are many other issues that lessen the quality and credibility of LigaMx and the national team; now that ratings on tv, cabel and streamming services are droping and stadiums are nearly empty on match day, the people who run mexican football better start making decisions that well balance both sport and economics.
It's mostly blamed on the league, but the reality is that talented players are being born elsewhere but Mexico. The Mexico born players are good enough to compete locally not abroad. There has been a generational transition in the national team for the past 5 years, however the skill/level is nowhere near what it was historically for Mexico. We'll have to wait at least 10 years for the younger generation to grow and show what it has. Other countries are really lucky to have players born with so much talent.
We have talent, but in here you need money to pay bribes or need a "padrino" (someone who supports you economically). Otherwise you're not going to get a chance unless you're very very lucky.
8:50 liga mx owners love foreigners nowadays to the point where only 4 Mexicans play in each club. If there were no limit then there wouldn’t be any Mexicans because the teams prefer a player who has experience than to debut a youngster. Yet, the youngster rules has proven that they are playing better than the foreigners
And you can't blame them for doing that as the average Mexican player is shite; not to mention that the squad registration rules have perverse effects (local players that have no business in first division football getting spots, not to mention the inflated wages and transfers fees, such as the $15 paid by Rayados for Rodolfo Pizarro)
Corrections from a born and raised Mexican football fan: 0:01 I appreciate the effort but you missed the pronunciation of Guadalajara. The G sounds just like the G in English when the next letter is a or o. It only sounds like an h when the next letter is e or i. So its "Guadalahara", not "Huadalahara". 3:25 stadiums are rarely full. Only in the knockout stages of the league you see them upwards of 50% of tickets sold. I haven't seen a full stadium in a regular league game for more than 15 years. Football has been socially dying slowly here for many years. Nowadays most people don't care much about football. The NFL, MLB, F1, and MMA, along with the truly traditional national sport, boxing, are growing in popularity and probably overpassing football soon. 5:56 I'm a lifelong Cruz Azul fan. It's "cementeros", not "cementos". It's managed not by a single company, but by a conglomerate of four factories: two owned by worker cooperatives and two owned by anonymous private stock owners. None of them is based in Mexico City, only the football club is. The rest is pretty accurate.
idk what are talking about, Cruz Azul this years been playing on full stadiums all the tournament, same for Atletico San Luis home games, even when they were in second division, same for Tigres and Monterrey home games
Mexico doesnt produce enough talent. They have less than 10 players in the top 5 leagues in the world. An embarrassing nu.ber when you take into consideration the leagues alleged popularity. In comparison, argentina has at least over 75 players between the premier league, la liga, bundesliga, serie a, and league 1. But the fans are catching up, this season they stopped going to the games and clubs are struggling right bow due to poor attendance.
Idk Mexican best moment we’re between 1990 -2016 Mexico national team has always had majority Home grown player still they put a good fight 1993,2001 Copa America 1999 confederation cup winner 2012 Olympic champion also 1994-2018 round of 16 . back then clubs only had 3 foreigners per club and they were good players now there like 15 per team and there a lot of rejects that come to Mexico knowing there career is over either in Europe or South America. The problem with Mexican football is there’s no talent being produced because there’s to many bad foreign players, and if there was a good home grown player clubs like Tigre’s,Monterrey,Cruz azul,America would but them to stay in liga mx instead of Europe How does that help the national team well it doesn’t Country’s like USA,Morocco,Japan,Colombia,South Korea realized that to compete against elite you need to export Mexico doesn’t do that unfortunately Mexico now lives of the past their no future right now
Yo le iba a chivas, desde que rompieron la tradición de solo mexicanos dejé de ver al equipo y poco a poco dejé de ver la liga MX. Ahora veo uno que otro resumen solo para ver como decaen y decaen Ojala azcarraga y las sociedades anónimas se larguen del futbol mexicano algún día
Corruption has been way too obvious and we as fans got tired of then thinking that we are stupid…. Good players that are poor don’t hace a chance cause they can’t pay the corrupt 1st division teams the fees to play and become professional players, and Televisa which is one of the biggest TV producers, controls the national team, hence is not about the best players, it’s about who brings more ratings $$. I sure don’t miss all that garbage. 😢
A sad combination of terrible management and FMF catering everything for the domestic league that is barley top ten in the world max. Teams asking for insane amount for transfers to Europe but domestic teams can offer that money keeping our talent in a stagnant position and not improving but still being called up lowering the level of the national team. Domestic media is also to blame with their constant criticism of players in Europe but glazing the players in Liga MX that are playing at a "High Level" and wanting them to starts. Having Televisa as owners of the Club America who always get their "Star" Players on the national team. Promotion and relegation is killing the competition and lowering the level of play. Lastly our call ups for players who don't deserve to landscape the ground for the national team keep being used for some reason Cough "Charlie" Cough. They kill any chance of being able to use players who could actually assist us with giving the team a spark.
You got a lot of things wrong but good try. It’s Azzcaraga who controls everything. La bomba Rodríguez is a Televisa employee as well with yon de Luisa the FMF representative at CONCACAF meetings.
Am ashamed to admit that back in the day I was a super fan of the sport to a point I hated the rival team with a passion so big that I wouldn’t care if violence or something else came along today I don’t even watch any kind of sport I find them pointless
Its the casual fans fault that go to the stadiums to drink and hacer desmadre and take pictures for social media the FMF loves them. they won't change since they will show up no matter what casuals don't even know the players name and be asking where's chicharito and then there's girls that record players for there tiktoks 😂
@@edbrown4800 thats the main reason, that guy owns televisa one of the biggest and most powerfull companies in mexico, they control the tv industry, has total control over the national team, has control over the league, they own America the club with the most tittles, they are actually investigated by the US for obtaning tv world cup rights by brabery
I find it interesting that the 🇺🇸 are having more success in the Champions league these days. I guess this is a reason why, since ⚽ in 🇲🇽 is in decline due to dark world interests.
Mexico is now a narc state, actually it’s been a narc state for a while. Cartels are involved in Mexican everyday lives, and yes that includes football.
A lot of corruption in the FMF and liga MX clubs. The clubs in Mexico refuse to let our home grown players go play in Europe.

64 team Liga TDP (8 groups of 8, double round robin, top 4 of each group make it to Round of 32, Semifinalists promoted to Liga Premier B)
Make State leagues for all 32 states (all teams, even Liga MX, play these, and the best teams not in a national league already qualify to Liga TDP for next season like in Brazil, and for Copa MX as well, etc.) (Each state gets 1-4 spots in Liga TDP based on how good they are as a whole league)
Overall, for max talent, just be like Brazil. Nothing much to say.

Cheers from USA amigo!
They use to have more spark than today's team, and it could be a Football powerhouse if it was run properly.
Mexico 🇲🇽 has been world champion 🏆 🥇 already.. it's already proven to have the talent enough to win.. Corruption n racism towards Mexico 🇲🇽 seeks to keep Mexico 🇲🇽 from winning, in favor of others.. Argentina is pro western Globalist, they think they decend from Europeans..lol Mexico 🇲🇽 is pro Nationalist n indigenous movement, it's clearly expressed in their flag with no apology to the world.. Globalists hate that n seek to keep Mexico 🇲🇽 subdued at all costs..
You don't know shit.
Mexico still has Olympic gold medal in soccer and bronze. One FIFA confederacions cup. Two sub 17 world cups . 3 third places in Copa America and two sub Copa America. Mexico still has more tournaments won after Argentina and Brasil and uruguay
Lo mejor que le puede pasar a la seleccion es quedar fuera en fase de grupos en 2026. Fuera en grupos en Qatar, quedar sin Olimpicos de Paris, hijo total de USA, fuera en grupos de Copa america, no es suficiente. Merecen ser humillados frente al mundo en su propio templo en el estadio telewila... "Mexico eliminado en fase de grupos en su propio mundial" y uniendose a el club exclusivo junto a Qatar, madre mia con QATAR lpm, serie algo hermoso. Ojala el futbol mexicano se desborone con ese fracaso historico y empiezen de zero con emphasis en futbol sobre dinero
As a chivas fan i hate they keep trying to stick to the "only mexican nationals". Other teams take advantage of that since they know chivas have limited options.
Also the natuonal team seems more concerned with making money. Why the f would they play only in the US and barely in mexico?
Weve seen how a stadium amd home advamtage affects the game but yet, they decide to male tournaments where both leagues play ONLY in the US.
They also elevate players to "messi" levels as soon as they make a good play or a couple of nice goals.
I also feel that with so many sponsors... one or 2 may have influence with the teams on who they hire or decisions they take.
The reason is Televisa and the FMF
A fantastic effort, albeit one where I noticed outdated figures and graphics, hyperbolic statements, missing context and some misinformation. The links between Mexico’s societal struggles and their relationship with soccer are mentioned, but never truly explained. Mainly, the video fails to mention a massive part of this story: the influence MLS and the USA have over the league and the football system itself. Still, I watched the whole thing. Attempts like these are always appreciated.
They still calling up the same players that dont offer anything like Romo charlies Jorge etc
Right now that league is garbage and needs fifa association to step in and make the league better without the use of monopoly
I've lived in the US for close to 40 years now. While the US is not a soccer power globally speaking, the way they are developing talent and the lack of overall corruption is pushing MLS in front of Liga MX. Sheer numbers show the difference. Over 200 US players are now in Europe. Barely 35 from Liga MX are over there. Personally I won't be following the Mexican team during the 2026 World Cup. I'm done with them. Me not following them won't make a difference of course. But I'm not going to spend my time, energy, and passion on a team that doesn't care about its fans anymore and that is in a clear downward spiral.
I can tell you why , the league is corrupt....
As an America fan this shii is honestly really sad. Sucks for Chivas too because if the NT is bad, they are bad since they are fielding only Mexican players. Good thing there is a trend of fans not going to the stadiums no more hopefully that starts to hurt the corrupters and leads to changes first starting w bringing back relegation, copa libertadores, México matches in México, fielding more younger players, and allowing each club there own ownership, no more dueños of 6 clubs !
The owners of the teams who run the entire show including the national team have taken Mexican football to the trash it’s a sad tragedy what they have done
Hey! Love your content and keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.
Good analysis
Hmm i don't think safety is the reason people are losing interest in football over here. That has always been an issue but it didn't mattered, millions of people would watch matches and attend to their favorite team stadium. For me, the reasons are these:
-No relegation/promotion. The 18 clubs got together and forced the idea that it would be "better for the league" with a bunch of stupid arguments, and since they control the money, they can do whatever they want (mostly the top 4 clubs). This makes the league more boring since there are not consequences of having a bad season, the bottom teams varely care. No exciting relegation/promotion race. Even if you dont root for any of the teams strugling, you still would follow them to see what happens. This also stops investment and development in the teams on the lower leagues, since they can't get to the top on sporting terms. The only way to reach the top division is through a bunch of roadblocks. The top teams claim that it's for the "improvement of the league" but we all know it's so they don't lose their influence and power. The idea that a bunch of teams on the top divisions on Spain, Italy and France and other top European legues wouldn't be able to join our league is aberrant.
-Mediocre format. We already had a format that encouraged mediocrity (you could be placed 8th in the league, and still manage to be a champion with a couple of lucky wins), but now even if you are placed 12th and still have a chance to be a champion. So you can tank half the season and still manage to get in, so most matches doesn't matter. The league did this to generate more money with more matches but makes it boring to the regular supporter.
-Popularity matters more than being in form. The players that go to the NT and play aren't our best most of the time, are the most popular, the ones with the most endorsements. Sponsors put a lot of preasure on our NT and federation so they field these players that they are using on their ads, and since our NT generate a lot of money through thiese deals, they often do what the sponsors say. Chicharito Hernandez, a Mexican legend, but from 2012-2014 he played like trash for the NT and still played even though Oribe Peralta (on of my favorite Mexican players ever) was on much better form. It took a lot of pressure from Mexican supporters to get him out of the starting line up. There are A LOT of examples, but thats one our international friends would know. Check what the late Sven-Göran Eriksson said during his time managing our NT.
-Money speaks. "pacto de caballeros" as you mentioned. Great talent needing to pay bribes so they can get rise the ranks of their clubs. Important clubs having way too much influence on our federation, referee association and league, etc. Many many problems...
Sus actuaciones en las canchas han sido pero tan malas que la gente han pasado del cuestionar su apoyo a la seleccion a directamente no apoyarla y burlarse de ella
The sport is just a reflection of our country, corruption corruption corruption and greed greed greed
Simply put, the team owners and the mexican soccer authorities have managed mexican soccer in a very mediocre and short-sighted manner, they focused too hard on revenue and ignored quality and the outcome is just a painful truth in which Mexico blows at soccer and has no foreseeable way of getting better in the short run. They don't deserve mexican soccer fans who are now either moving on to other more productive hobbies like spending time with friends or family outside or self-improvement or they are switching to alternative and more entertaining (competitive) sports like NFL, MLB, boxing and even the local mexican baseball league. They have killed fútbol!.
Even if things were changed right now it would take yearssssss before we see any change 😢
Football today has change a lot , its not entertaining anymore
It all sums up to bad short term decisions by directives and team owners. I believe that the ones that made more damage to the sport are:
- Leaving the promotion-relegation system
- Changed long tournament format to short
- Championship decided by play-off format instead of scored points
- Giving up to 10 teams out of 18 a chance to be champion (promotes mediocrity, not meritocracy)
- Inflated salaries. Young players don't fell the need to migrate to better leagues in Europe
- Nationalize low quality foreign players instead of debuting young locals cause they're more experienced and/or cheaper
- Extending time periods to terminate multi ownership
There are many other issues that lessen the quality and credibility of LigaMx and the national team; now that ratings on tv, cabel and streamming services are droping and stadiums are nearly empty on match day, the people who run mexican football better start making decisions that well balance both sport and economics.
Liga Mx has been diggin its own grave for the last 20 years.
It's mostly blamed on the league, but the reality is that talented players are being born elsewhere but Mexico. The Mexico born players are good enough to compete locally not abroad. There has been a generational transition in the national team for the past 5 years, however the skill/level is nowhere near what it was historically for Mexico. We'll have to wait at least 10 years for the younger generation to grow and show what it has. Other countries are really lucky to have players born with so much talent.
We have talent, but in here you need money to pay bribes or need a "padrino" (someone who supports you economically). Otherwise you're not going to get a chance unless you're very very lucky.
8:50 liga mx owners love foreigners nowadays to the point where only 4 Mexicans play in each club. If there were no limit then there wouldn’t be any Mexicans because the teams prefer a player who has experience than to debut a youngster. Yet, the youngster rules has proven that they are playing better than the foreigners
And you can't blame them for doing that as the average Mexican player is shite; not to mention that the squad registration rules have perverse effects (local players that have no business in first division football getting spots, not to mention the inflated wages and transfers fees, such as the $15 paid by Rayados for Rodolfo Pizarro)
True i like to loan in young Mexican talent because the clubs give them away without charging wages ,same with Argentina
Corrections from a born and raised Mexican football fan:
0:01 I appreciate the effort but you missed the pronunciation of Guadalajara. The G sounds just like the G in English when the next letter is a or o. It only sounds like an h when the next letter is e or i. So its "Guadalahara", not "Huadalahara".
3:25 stadiums are rarely full. Only in the knockout stages of the league you see them upwards of 50% of tickets sold. I haven't seen a full stadium in a regular league game for more than 15 years. Football has been socially dying slowly here for many years. Nowadays most people don't care much about football. The NFL, MLB, F1, and MMA, along with the truly traditional national sport, boxing, are growing in popularity and probably overpassing football soon.
5:56 I'm a lifelong Cruz Azul fan. It's "cementeros", not "cementos". It's managed not by a single company, but by a conglomerate of four factories: two owned by worker cooperatives and two owned by anonymous private stock owners. None of them is based in Mexico City, only the football club is.
The rest is pretty accurate.
Haha thanks! Sorry for butchering it 🥶
idk what are talking about, Cruz Azul this years been playing on full stadiums all the tournament, same for Atletico San Luis home games, even when they were in second division, same for Tigres and Monterrey home games
Mexico doesnt produce enough talent. They have less than 10 players in the top 5 leagues in the world. An embarrassing nu.ber when you take into consideration the leagues alleged popularity. In comparison, argentina has at least over 75 players between the premier league, la liga, bundesliga, serie a, and league 1.
But the fans are catching up, this season they stopped going to the games and clubs are struggling right bow due to poor attendance.
Idk Mexican best moment we’re between 1990 -2016 Mexico national team has always had majority Home grown player still they put a good fight 1993,2001 Copa America 1999 confederation cup winner 2012 Olympic champion also 1994-2018 round of 16 . back then clubs only had 3 foreigners per club and they were good players now there like 15 per team and there a lot of rejects that come to Mexico knowing there career is over either in Europe or South America. The problem with Mexican football is there’s no talent being produced because there’s to many bad foreign players, and if there was a good home grown player clubs like Tigre’s,Monterrey,Cruz azul,America would but them to stay in liga mx instead of Europe How does that help the national team well it doesn’t Country’s like USA,Morocco,Japan,Colombia,South Korea realized that to compete against elite you need to export Mexico doesn’t do that unfortunately
Mexico now lives of the past their no future right now
Football is dying all around the world
Right on the money
short answer it's corruption
Yo le iba a chivas, desde que rompieron la tradición de solo mexicanos dejé de ver al equipo y poco a poco dejé de ver la liga MX. Ahora veo uno que otro resumen solo para ver como decaen y decaen
Ojala azcarraga y las sociedades anónimas se larguen del futbol mexicano algún día
Corruption has been way too obvious and we as fans got tired of then thinking that we are stupid…. Good players that are poor don’t hace a chance cause they can’t pay the corrupt 1st division teams the fees to play and become professional players, and Televisa which is one of the biggest TV producers, controls the national team, hence is not about the best players, it’s about who brings more ratings $$. I sure don’t miss all that garbage. 😢
A sad combination of terrible management and FMF catering everything for the domestic league that is barley top ten in the world max. Teams asking for insane amount for transfers to Europe but domestic teams can offer that money keeping our talent in a stagnant position and not improving but still being called up lowering the level of the national team. Domestic media is also to blame with their constant criticism of players in Europe but glazing the players in Liga MX that are playing at a "High Level" and wanting them to starts. Having Televisa as owners of the Club America who always get their "Star" Players on the national team. Promotion and relegation is killing the competition and lowering the level of play. Lastly our call ups for players who don't deserve to landscape the ground for the national team keep being used for some reason Cough "Charlie" Cough. They kill any chance of being able to use players who could actually assist us with giving the team a spark.
We are amazingly mediocre at football
“Estadio chivas” placed in “the center of Mexico”, alright imma have to stop watching this video 😂
You got a lot of things wrong but good try. It’s Azzcaraga who controls everything. La bomba Rodríguez is a Televisa employee as well with yon de Luisa the FMF representative at CONCACAF meetings.
they never had a spark even with players like hugo sanchez or chicharito, they're actually the most deceiving team in the americas! nO hAtE
We better at squaring up than playing with balls
It has nothing to do with violance. The quality of the game is garbage. Not complicated.
Its not losing it……. It is gooooonnnneeee!!!!!!
Am ashamed to admit that back in the day I was a super fan of the sport to a point I hated the rival team with a passion so big that I wouldn’t care if violence or something else came along today I don’t even watch any kind of sport I find them pointless
deregulation is such an interesting concept to me as an american. Teams just get kicked out lmao
Corruption...Corruption that its the reason
Its the casual fans fault that go to the stadiums to drink and hacer desmadre and take pictures for social media the FMF loves them.
they won't change since they will show up no matter what casuals don't even know the players name and be asking where's chicharito and then there's girls that record players for there tiktoks 😂
MONEY. PERIOD END OF VIDEO.
ARRIBA EL CRUZ AZUL!!! 23 AÑOS SIN SER CAMPEÓN
They not even trying
corruption and mediocrity .
Good content, but lazy editing. Half the video is reverse images. 🙄
Football is a dead sport among the younger generation
Mexican soccer is dying ¡y eso me da mucha alegría!
why u didnt talk about televisa and azcarraga, that mofo controls everything
@@litleboy1191 another excuse to justify why Mexico is bad? 😂😂😂
@@edbrown4800 thats the main reason, that guy owns televisa one of the biggest and most powerfull companies in mexico, they control the tv industry, has total control over the national team, has control over the league, they own America the club with the most tittles, they are actually investigated by the US for obtaning tv world cup rights by brabery
@@edbrown4800 yes they are the reason, televisa controls the federation, the national team and the league, but u dont know shit about Mexico
7:53 with soccer continuing it shows that sports is here just to distract us from the world problems
Mexico ya valió berga
I find it interesting that the 🇺🇸 are having more success in the Champions league these days.
I guess this is a reason why, since ⚽ in 🇲🇽 is in decline due to dark world interests.
It's not losing it's spark.
It never had one to begin with
:(
More excuses.......😂
Para qué hablas en inglés si se nota que no es tu lenga nativa?
USA soccer corruption is not allowing it to be what it can be.
Baseball >
It’s called corruption not stuck corruption simple it’s that bro there’s nothing to debate or talk bro
Mexico is now a narc state, actually it’s been a narc state for a while. Cartels are involved in Mexican everyday lives, and yes that includes football.
