Mexico

The coach of the Mexican National Team, Miguel Herrera, has signed a new contract that will keep him managing Mexico until 2018, and he has wasted no time in discussing his plans for his team. 

In a recent interview, Herrera stated that he expects to not only put forth a competitive team for Mexico’s two upcoming tournaments this summer, he expects Mexico to be successful in 2015.

There is not a country in the world that does not have a dark side to its history. Call it human nature, but the huge strides made by the human race in the past few centuries are rivaled only by its tragic missteps.

Soccer in the United States is exemplified best by one word: transition. If there really is World Cup winning glory in the future of the United States Men’s National Team, then the current era must be considered its awkward years. U.S. Soccer is getting there, but it is often painfully clear that, as far as the country has come, it has so much further to go.
