The reasons why USMNT can dream of winning a FIFA World Cup and the Mexican team cannot

The USMNT faces Wales in their first friendly in a long time. The team led by Berhalter begins to prepare for the Golden Cup next year with the only objective of being the champions. The sheer number of good players at the USMNT camp excites the entire United States that they can win the FIFA World Cup once and for all.

Today the USMNT is in an unbeatable situation since the vast majority of its players are playing for the best teams in Europe. This did not happen before as the USMNT had to settle for the players who were in the MLS. This leap in quality makes them dream of having a great team and thus be able to beat the Mexican team in the Golden Cup.

Another reason why USMNT dreams of being the champion of the most important soccer tournament is that in 2026 the FIFA World Cup will be played in the United States. Sergiño Dest, FC Barcelona player, has already declared from the USMNT camp that they will do everything possible to keep the trophy in 2026. It is not crazy what he thinks as USMNT have an average age of close to 21 years, for what will come in the prime of his soccer career.

It is surprising to see how many players choose the USMNT over other teams. Today there are several players who have the possibility to play for Mexico or for USMNT who choose the second option because they are more interested in that project. In Mexico, on the other hand, it seems that there is no clear project and an example is the repeated search for foreign players to play for their national team.

The Mexican team does not seem to have a planned plan for its future. Although it has very good players with great projection like Diego Lainez, there does not seem to be a very solid team for the next 6 years. Mexico is thinking only about today and not about a future projection and for that same reason the USMNT can overcome it and make history before them.
