Mexico Football Fans

World football regulatory body FIFA has fined the Football Associations of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina for homophobic chanting in their World Cup qualifiers.

Brazil and Argentina FAs were fined over £27,000 and about £15,500 respectively but their Mexican counterparts would part with £7,781.

The Mexican national football team is currently attempting to find for the upcoming in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and have been doing an impressive job in their qualification campaign as Mexico is at the top of the CONCACAF group with 10 points collected from their 4 opening qualification matches.

Out of their 4 initial qualification matches of Mexico, they have won 3 and drawn 1 as they remain undefeated and are one of the favorites of securing a top position and qualifying for the approaching worldwide football competition.

Mexico is ready for the Star Sixes tournament in July and the squad has been named ahead of the inaugural event in London.

Eccentric Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos, who is best known for his colourful jersey and goalscoring abilities, says he would find his old shirts and be ready to impress at the tournament.

Mexico began 2017 in positive fashion after a 1-0 win over Iceland.

This victory helped banish memories of the goalless draw with Panama in the final World Cup qualification game. The win over Iceland came as a result of a solitary goal by Alan Pulido in the 21st minute. Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been pressing a lot of importance on the defending of the national team. Recent results have been excellent with the team managing three clean sheets in the last five matches. On the disappointing note, Mexico have not been able to score more than six goals in these 5 games.

Mexico skipper Rafa Marquez reached twenty years playing for the national team on Sunday when they played Iceland yet the veteran defender says the world cup is his target.

Another motivation factor for the player is that he wants to be the third player to ever feature in five World Cup editions.

Former Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez has responded to the plan of the President of the United States Donald Trump to build a wall on the United States border.

Mexico strongly opposed the plan of the President of the US but the country’s national team captain brought in a new angle.

Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has faced plenty of criticism since he was appointed in October 2015.

Even recently, he was branded as ineffective by the former coach Miguel Herrera. However,Osorio has been quietly carrying out his work and the results have followed. The biggest positive for Mexico came in the form of a historic victory against the United States in a World Cup qualifying game. Apart from the recent victory in the CONCAF play-offs a year ago, Mexico have an extremely poor record against the United States.

Now the whole euphoria about being appointed manager of the United States men’s national team should be over for recently appointed man Bruce Arena.

The coach’s managerial gift and hands-on experience definitely tipped the scale in his favour as US Soccer sought for a replacement for former coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The urgency in the situation did not help.

The Mexican national football team has to play their first match of the 5th round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against United Stated on November 11 at the MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus and this is a venue that the Mexican national side has never been able to overcome United States.

Juan Carlos Osorio has recently talked about this approaching match as the Colombian coach said:

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said that he expects a tough game against the United States when both teams meet on the 11th of November.

The match will count for the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.
