NEVER COUNT OUT MEXICO. In all seriousness, it’s hard being a mexico fan. Most of our fans lack sportsmanship. Our performance is always inconsistent. Sometimes I wish we would get humbled but then SOMEHOW we make it through just barely. We will get clapped during the Copa America and I’m all here for it.
If México wasn’t able to overcome Honduras, there was no way CONCACAF would’ve let them get eliminated in the play-offs. México is their golden goose in the Latino populated areas, which are most likely to host the majority of games in the Copa América.
Normally I would hate this sort of match but if it means we get Trinidad in the play-in i’m happy with the result. Two incredible Concacaf matches back to back as always.
Tons of yellows and reds ✔️
Shitty referee ✔️
Dodgy calls at the end of the game ✔️
Peak CONCACAF
Yay we won but we’re still shit
Canada has a better chance of qualifying for the Copa by facing Trinidad, right?
I hope I’m not wrong
I’m proud of how Honduras held up for 90+9+2+15+2+15 minutes
I thought the ref did a fine job, only complaint was the fk goal foul but other than that, time added and PK retakes were all correct.
We are fucked in the Copa America. This team struggles against decent team.
is there an actual reason why menjivar wasn’t sent off after his second yellow?
This was the nastiest game of all time and not in a good way.
Have to take a shower after that.
Poll:
Was Honduras/Mexico the most rigged soccer game of the Millenia?
A) Yes
B) Hell Yes
Least interesting concacaf game
Panama is gonna destroy Mexico
I hope scouts were watching, I could’ve sworn I saw Lahm and Van Dijk in that Honduran defense.
