1. Mexican Americans should be it’s own national team

2. Can we change the name of the show during the world cup? I suggest 2 guys 1 cup

3. Affirmative action gave the spot to Long & Morris … Pepi and Zendejas spots

4. I agree with you. It's clear USMNT doesn't want a Mexican-American to be the FACE of US soccer only white boys like Puli or black players like Weah or Adams. God forbid he is brown like Pepi or even Reyna!!!

   No Wonder Mexican-Americans go to FMF because USMNT DOES NOT RESPECT OR APPRECIATE LATINOS. ZERO%

5. I think Brandon Vasquez and Ricardo Pepi play a big part for 2026 USMNT

6. He’s gonna go to Mexico ador the next World Cup for sure ,

7. I feel bad for Pepi. If it wasn’t for him the US wouldn’t be in the World Cup. His goals in the qualifiers ignited the US team to turn it around after the Home loss to Canada.

8. I think the hierarchy of the USMNT does not want Mexican American players. The rivalry is so deep that they don’t want Mexican American. They want to show the US has it’s own identity.

9. The real Americans are the brown people of Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc.

10. The white USA citizens are Euro-Gringos

11. Mexican Gringos

12. Mexico needs to start cracking down on the clubs to send players abroad. We need our players to get more chances and have a better shot at success in Europe, because while Liga MX may not be easy, it doesn't have Zlatan, Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, ect ect. Those caliber players are what we need to face to grow.

13. Neither here nor there — that's true for many second generation immigrants from any country.

14. I think bethalter didn't choose any MA player because there loyalties are devided and I don't blame him.

15. Pepi is scoring well in the Dutch league. They should have given him a call up.

16. You cry baby’s over at ESPN FC. SMH. At the end of the day their is only room for 11 players. Mexico should get players from Mexico and USA should get players from USA period. This shouldn’t even be a debate, why give opportunity to more players from USA whenever there is talent coming from mexico too? Makes no sense. Just like I don’t understand why they are using Funes Mori. like I’m sure there is a young Mexican out there they could of took a chance on, and instead they go with washed up Funes Mori who isn’t even Mexican.

17. Why aren't there any American Mexican players in Mexico?

18. Pepi was a snub and it seemed GGG had a tough time not picking him. Vasquez wasn’t on the radar until the last few months. Other the Pepi, I think it’s going to be about who makes the jump to Europe. Even on El Tri’s side, they are all in Liga MX or MLS. I think both Araujo and Alvarez should try to make a move to Europe in the next 8 months… no playing reason to stay at LA Galaxy unless they just don’t want to go

19. Technically Funas Morí is Mexican American of Argentinian descent.

20. Jesus Ferreira isn’t Mexican American? He’s some sort of hispanic American though right?

21. Efrain alvarez is a player whose name isn’t brought up enough

22. Racism! REEEEEEeeEeEeEEEeee

23. Any roster? If they are Mexican American what roster could they be on besides the USMNT? If they are on Mexico's squad, wouldn't they just be Mexican regardless of where they currently reside?

24. If it wasn't for Pepi the USMNT would not have qualified!!

25. RACIST RACIST BULL$HIT

26. As A super Fan of the Game…and a US citizen, this is Exactly why we won't reach far in this Game..World Dominance n fighting with the big dogs not going to happen no time in the near future…We not inclusive as the big Nations are?? Same thing that plauqe our Nation on a social level,same thing in sports.Somebody had to say it.

27. William Yarbrough is an American Mexican not Mexican American

28. It's NOT circumstantial… where if the govt wanted 1, there'd be 1. You mean Portugese?

29. Stop race baiting Herc & Seb this comes off as amatuer plus you guys love to talk about México and US but never mention any central American football so if you guys want to play that game start by asking yourselves,"why do we only talk about 3 countries when there are over 30 in concacaf".

30. All of y’all who are looking at this as some kind of political/identity issue are way off. The point is much simpler than that. For a country that punches way below its weight in global soccer, there is a massive player pool in our Hispanic population larger than some of our competitor countries. Among that population, Mexican Americans are, by far, the largest group. By sheer math, there ought to be representation. You ought to be riddled with the dilema of armfuls of qualified candidates. But what’s another thing the Hispanic population is marked by? Less access to elite competition because fewer can afford pay-to-play. You are left with whomever makes it through the narrow sieve to be considered. And that’s how you end up with a disproportionately small number of candidates and ultimately no one on the team. Our system is leaving lots of potential rotting on the vine.

31. 🇲🇽🇺🇸

32. Why??????????

33. ????????????

34. Not being meritocratic being the reason US loses every time? Sounds accurate.

35. Moises Munoz is a American and he was in the teams, also gringo Castro ,

36. The problem is also that both teams are about equal in terms of strength. It’s not like picking a huge country back a small. This is one of the more even decisions

37. MexAmer are poorly trained. The youth teams are full because US thinks football is rugby. They never teach positioning and tactical awareness. Coaches think all you need is dribbling, but it's easy against defenders that can't defend.

38. at this point, the USMNT should be like how France team loooks, but with latinos

39. USMNT is racist they took Jordan Morris over Ricardo Pepi, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok

40. Who cares woke espn

41. Who cares? Nobody cares about any other ethnic group having representation. Nobody seriously thinks the US is discriminating against anyone.

42. I mean in this situation they are mexican-AMERICAN and one picks with their heart not for the possibility to win the WC. You do it for pride and country unlike USA who mostly does it for money.

43. wasted talent each team could have but oh well they like to always lose in the WC

44. Cause they are bad?
