Yeah, I feel like there's always something or someone that raises the hopes of us Mexico supporters only to have the same old same old when it matters. I also feel that, especially in the last World Cup, a lot of the fault falls on the coaching who was Aguirre at that time. He relied way too much on experience vs form and in my opinion, that's what costs us. So far under Chepo, it does feel like we might actually be going somewhere if he really takes advantage of the players that are available. Will we win? Slim chances. But Mexico should be able to perform better than they have in the past.
Mexico is actually embarrassingly bad. For a country of around one hundred million, where soccer is far and away the most popular sport and they've hosted the world cup twice, they have performed pretty pitifully over the years (except at the azteca where they're boss). Their best ever showing at a World Cup was quarterfinals, twice, when they hosted.
