    You probably haven't got the grasp of the offside rule yet

      Mexico has great talent with solid players but they seem to lack that finishing touch to score, too many close calls with missed clear opportunities. Mexico has so much support for their team its no surprises the spanish channel revolves around "El Tri" which makes up the largest latino population in 'Merica, this is so evident during matches in the U.S against Mexico. Also has anyone noticed all the missed calls "for" Mexico, Dos Santos gets 2 goals nulled against Ghana. The clear handballs against Croatia, one inside the penalty box. Also i remember against Brazil there was a offside player that "headed" the ball and the ref waited for the play to finish only to call offside after a missed opportunity which looked really weird.

        Mexican players have always been talented. It's always been the mental aspect of the game where they've been lacking.

        Univision revolving their World Cup attention around Mexico shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. It's owned by Mexicans and watched by mostly Mexicans of course their going to cater to their audience.

        Officiating has been awful in Mexico's World Cup games. Hopefully we catch some breaks this Sunday.

          If Mexico gets passed the Netherlands, they should not have a problem getting to the final 4.

            I understand that but I guess it just annoys me. It feels like they are TOO bias at times. And I feel like they just bandwagon. Btw its not just me. A lot of peoplw arouns town are complaining about it too and I heard they're also complaining about it on Facebook. To the point where people just want Mexico to lose.

            With that said, I love the commentary. Much better than the English channel (ESPN).

              Bc that channel is mostly for mexicans. Who do you want them to ride cuba?lmao

                  I didn't see Clint Dempsey or Jermaine Jones on the list of choices which prevented me from voting.

                    There in the "other" poll option. They've been playing good so far in the cup but not better than the 9 imo

                      I would be annoyed too if I weren't Mexican. The national team is the cash cow(A side) when it comes to futbol it's what sells so that's what they focus on. The amount of Mexicans that watch Univision is just top high for them not to make them their main target group, and it's been like that forever until Mexico loses they'll just adopt Brazil or Argentina.
