SUBSCRIBE TO DUEL NATS ON YOUTUBE! / @duelnats
With the World Cup in the rearview, Mexican fubtol is now facing its most significant transition in decades. Between the FMF’s ambitious commitment to 2,000 new youth academies and the arrival of Rafael Márquez "El Kaiser," who is tasked with bringing a fancy, Spanish-style "tiki-taka" philosophy to the national team, the roadmap for 2030 appears clear.
Eric Gomez, ESPN Deportes journalist, expert on all things Mexico, and compa of the Duel Nats show, joins Herc Gomez to pull back the curtain on this new era of futbol in Mexico. Will Rafa Marquez and his new right-hand man, Juan Manuel Lillo, really be given full license to cook through 2030? Are there more “Gilberto Moras” emerging in the pipeline, like new dual nat talent Juan “Mono” Martinez? Later on our VAMOS Hotline presented by Verizon, Herc delves into this surprising transfer window where, despite a great summer for the Mexican National Team, only a few players may actually make the jump from Liga MX to Europe.
