Former Mexico national team coach Miguel Herrera believes that the national team will not be able to do significantly better under the regime of his replacement Juan Carlos Osorio.

Appointed as the head coach of the Mexican national team in October 2015,Osorio has overseen an inconsistent period when it comes to results. Mexico have failed to make it beyond the last 16 stage of any World Cup tournament in the past. Their only appearance beyond this stage of the competition came before 1994. Under the leadership ofHerrera, Mexico experienced a lot of problems in the dressing room and it was a reason behind their early departure from the World Cup 2014.

Mexico aim to continue their perfect run in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers when they take on Honduras on Tuesday as the international break continue to run.

There is little at stake having qualified for the ‘Hexagonal’ stage of the process, win a flawless run so far.

Lionel Messi made a U-turn on his earlier decision to abstain from football on the international front for his country, after internal Argentine crisis and frustrations made him declare his early retirement.

Mexico has been eliminated from the Olympic football tournament in Rio.

The country who is currently holders of the title was eliminated at the group stage. They needed a win in the match against the Korea Republic but were beaten 1-0 instead. Although they were the better side throughout the game, they could not manage to find an opening in the Korean defence.

Korea’s victory means that they finish at the top of their group and will be facing Honduras in the quarter-final. Germany who finished second in the group will be facing Portugal at the same time.

The 27 year old Mexican player of LA Galaxy, Giovani dos Santos did not perform for his national side at the international stage in the Copa America Centenario.

The player himself stated that he chose not to participate in that tournament but he is now ready and eager to get back in the Mexican national side.

Mexican striker Raul Jimenez has praised the impact of manager Juan Carlos Osorio, as the national team look to qualify into the knockout stages of the Copa America.

Mexican national team boss Juan Carlos Osorio says that the upcoming 2017 Confederations Cup will be a great test for his team ahead of the real deal.

Defending Olympic champions Mexico has been drawn in the same group as Germany, Fiji, and South Korea.

The draw was held on Thursday in the mythic Maracana Stadium in Brazil.
Mexico is the defending Olympics champions after having beaten Brazil 2-1 in the 2012 final in London. They qualified for this year Olympics by winning the CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship. They will be accompanied by Honduras, who is the other finalist for the CONCACAF.

Barcelona might be interested in signing Mesut Ozil in the summer with the Spanish club preparing a player and money deal.

There is a special clause in Ozil contract that specifies that Real Madrid has the first refusal in case he is sold to a rival Spanish club. So as to circumvent this clause, Barcelona will try to offer players in exchange of Ozil.

The head coach of the Mexican national football team Juan Carlos Osorio does not want to see Mexican players making a move to the American League the MLS, as the Mexican manager considers that league to be a place where performers go to retire and it’s not as competitive compared to others.

"I believe that when a footballer is in his peak he should play in Europe and not MLS. MLS is for the end of a career and not for when a footballer still has a lot to give." Mexico’s Juan Osorio said.
