Edson Alvarez denigrated USMNT after the Mexican team game?

The Mexican team managed to beat South Korea 3-2 and left some good things but some bad. Defense was once again one of the weak points of the team but luckily for Martino, the attack worked better than expected. Edson Alvarez spoke after the game and left some controversy.

The Mexican team has little competition within its continent and that is why it goes out to look for rivals from Europe to compete at a better level. The only team that today is at the level of the Mexican team is the USMNT since it has a large group of players that most are playing in the best teams in Europe.

Edson Alvarez left a controversial phrase after Mexico's match against Korea as he said that luckily now they can play against higher-ranking teams and more complicated rivals. The Mexican team has to prepare to play against the USMNT in the Golden Cup and these friendlies help them to arrive in the best way possible.

For Alvarez, these games help the Mexican team to get out of the comfort zone and thus play against teams that are not of a lower level than them. The Mexican team will now have to face the Japanese team and will continue on the path of looking for the best team to be able to reach the Golden Cup in the best way
