the gold cup top prize in north and central american football who will win it this year country canada going to win the gold cup that's the feeling in costa rica at least they're one of 16 nations fighting for the gold cup i mean it's just country and football and mexico have their own case of football fever but they struggle to take the next step on the international stage despite having a great fans players and a strong domestically. while give it all reported on your barcelona went to mexico city to find out come up because we're coming with off to mexico with kick

off life. here in mexico city the capital of mexico a country where literally everyone a football. people strongly with a lot of money and a national team who's proven that out of the best capable of beating the best. despite all that they still know to take the next step when it comes to world football so why in this world here in mexico city to find out what mexico things. mexico should be a football and world power it's a nation that's home to around a $130000000.00 people and the temple largest country in the world. football is the number one sport by far there's an incredibly successful domestic league in the get imax stand out players capable. in the world's top leagues and

a passion for football that's more than love but obsession so what's the problem. you can do in the big way that the globe good. and the swallows to new. mexico is a country right with corruption and so should the spirit but there's one thing that makes people come together and put all differences aside the national team to be as they're called effective the national team has a mexico is almost unparalleled anywhere in the world in fact it was even reported that when mexican legend games crime rates in the country drop. little. village people at the old. days the moment of the night is little. bloom's is. closer.

to the people of the people because the team is good. but the mexican relationship with l.t. is not only a story of great love but also of great suffering especially in the world cup where they are haunted by the curse of the dome or the 5th game which refers to mexico's inability to reach the quarter finals of the world cup something that they failed to do in the last 7 world cups but why. we need an expert and what a better expert. he was one of the 1st mexicans to go abroad and really set the tone for mexican players oh we can't forget that he was also part of the mexican 99 squad who won the confederations cup.

the one on the list. in the not glasses it was it did last august in the company of the one with the whether or not plus the rare. mexico's ability to constantly underachieve has sparked heated debate within mexico some say the players like the discipline required to take that next step a word i keep hearing mentions is mentality. must. get across in the. way that the us and that anyone in the out of. the. in the middle.

this will. be as we look at us in the. league max represents more than football in mexico represents family culture passion and fun with game days being a $360.00 degree experience of mexican culture. legal m.x. is also wildly successful it's one of the best leagues in the americas and even competes with the top leagues in the world in terms of money and passionate fans. for the. let's take a look inside. this is the old ice. temple of

world football where some of the greats like pele and mary donna one the world cup i can't believe are standing here right now and there's no better place than to come to experience the mexican football passion and atmosphere then right here today when called america takes on cruises to all in the league imax this place is about to pop off. but all that glitters is gold and maybe legal and nexus pros are mexican football's constant. rockcliffe. in the middle. east all of us want to be fans of this process here by easter. as you have done for the rebels could miss out on one been the floridas on the form and for us women on

a roll for their. beliefs been criticized for keeping players from progressing to higher quality due to exaggerated salaries and high transferred. she. is not an. old awhile you'll get getting medical and dental see as more women years will also get a. parking lot in the demo so i almost want him also but i want us there with all blow needs to discuss what i want as near as you know with the moment he comes to me i was going to. when we've got it. and so on but this is

a young prospect of mexican football a product of club america's youth academy and an already promising talent for the mexican nationals. who are in the mix only we're waiting to see even the most and for no reason you don't start with a lot of rumors around here and he's going to you're right so what does he think about mexican football and moving to europe you're going to get it for them and come on enough people. is not a present the number the look is in full make and i don't like him of the name with it and he didn't we're going to implement the. william and i quote is. there's a 1000. men based on a lot of them which was a key. where. he. put the a c. ron must i list i'm carol. costello in this my year without

a. lot of this i'm going to i'm not a lot of this. i mean. i would guess what that's a lot of them. are as was viewed as one of the next european targets to follow the path of other mexicans abroad like. however recently he turned down that opportunity in europe to stay in mexico with clubs america sounds like the mentality issue everyone keeps talking about. but what else is holding mexico back . to what i think i mean the cable t.v. absolute love and the not the thing about it as you know that you know what it was because of the muscle in the blood the not the name of the house that the political winds up one of them that one the other will be out there with. saddam. on the plastics are going to as well it is it's no secret that mexico is a big fish in a small talent ponding conky calf so much so that tournaments in the area held. the

gold cup i believe be considered. of course is assuming he caught up with it i met with. him for a. christmas morning. for the whole of the stuff i gave him so i. was what the president of the nationals as it was a real scenes of deal was a little bit of. as i'm going to see him doesn't mean the same. things as. one little bit but i mean they will still. put the future could be bright with new coach. and a new wave of talented you next week old be on the verge of something free. and you're. going to come out of this. just but then and then some and so on this. said on until this summer and. i would look at it as this remembering

a lot of getting into lockup us out of. little time in sort of. the knowledge. they left us with natalie it up with them and look at a muslim as if it's a little normal within the year but a little of this you know with a you. get when the people. on the make a visit. to the guy. it kills them so what i see cool with me is that there isn't just one reason why mexico hasn't been able to take that next step but change is on the horizon one thing that's never changed and will not retain is the point of mexican fans who believe that their time is an. make sicko's not the region's only football. crazy country done you once or costa

rica to see how the small nation consistently pulls off big performances. costa rica. beautiful beaches and lush greenery. and great football. even though cause there rica is a small country with a population of less than most big cities and they are basically stacked against them they've been able to leave their mark on world football as one of the most passionate underdog always keep the big boys honest but what is it about costa rican football and costa rican that give them that little something extra what makes you can football so special and what this costa rican football passion look like go. to the ball in costa rica is not just

a sport in mean something more to around 5000000 people who live here it's a deep part of the culture and goes right to the very core it's a question reconsider our people's lives revolve around football. ok so it's a holiday today and we can't do this park near the national stadium and there's literally people playing football everywhere from what i can see right now 123-4566 games going on just in one park so what do people do when they play football that amazing. people who leave work early on game days spend time with their families and friends at the stadiums and holidays have you been declared to watch the national team play because these there's this thing but here goes that is good idea because it is that what you're left with but this is a. little ball it's just. as it was you know if i lived in a field that has been in. you know if you. call that anything.

and it's not just in their blood here in costa rica everywhere you look you see football hope they're selling shirt a turn out to get hit by a car and go see it's going on. until it was told it was a book i read. the book are true that doesn't hurt you all will not be as to. what a ballplayer. was i cannot hold ok to reka and going to win the gold cup you heard it here 1st. costa ricans live their lives by the famous saying who would have either but it's more than just a saying it's an attitude it's happiness and it's their way of life just like football everywhere you find people ready to share their favorite football story kick the ball around or even sing you their team song. will

mean your you. were. going. to get a better idea about what football means to costa rica we need someone who lives it every day should i must seize covers football for a living so why is football so special here i am full of want to be rid of us especially on. board get a ring is not part of the import and then go study sensi. the being a football player in costa rica is not something to be taken lightly. so what does

look like at the highest level in costa rica. top 5 football in costa rica. believe it was founded in 1021 and now consists of 12 teams one of those i also probably the most recognizable and definitely the most successful. of all. who i thought were winning the league $34.00 times also won the champions cup which is the champions league now and they did something ridiculous they finished 3rd at the feet. of. someone who knows what football means to costa rica is lettering midfielder christian. after starting his career. before trying his hand you could talk to any major league soccer. now he's back where it

all began home match of. especially known for it's large and he did fan base. the ultimate goal for most. players is to represent their country on the international level has accomplished something that few players have he's represented costa rica in serie world cups 200-620-1420 extension 18. but i mean. in.

the border area you are put in the corner coming for. the world you know. it comes to reconsider the national team or last saturday for this special place in their hearts national team games are always sold out and when les and i play is everything in costa rica stops you came here for one thing if you come in when he is on us and it's your. own. or no. you know he's been on the older style around the world but is i will recall him going up one side and ask ourselves years and years happened after that meeting with the police that can you. say. it again. but when the last thing people with seems. like one the word. then you. always the other guy he said. or you know.

or looking up anything on the horizon the feeling is the essence of your. or or your grandmother more or. for most people costa rica burst onto the scene at the 2 dozen 14 world cup after doing in thinkable and topping what most people called the group of death with england italy and your wife making it all the way to the quarterfinals a much more impressive than that though for the scenes from costa rica and the reaction of the whole country. from boeing among the others that was embarrassing. a. this. is a. little. mix the old saying if you. don't

know. you. can't be on sunday because isn't it that i think that being a filipino. is going to save its own once a month but opt out of the study could be something that shows how the passion for football unites all costa rican is the work that's being done to boost women's football. separte says trying to set the standard for women's football in costa rica the club is trying to give more visibility in a number of ways to promote their women's team on the same social platforms as their male counterparts and recently they opened their stadium for the women's classico initially the club was unsure what the response would be the fans turned out in record numbers.

these guys have been playing their drums the entire game so that's ridiculous. separte says work is starting to pay off the fans i spoke to said that supporting somebody saw me supporting both men and women who wear their colors. to the game stand state to congratulate the players get autographs and take selfies. there's an atmosphere but. there's just. you know that's got to you. but i was at the silent battle. this mural was painted for international women's day campaign to give visibility to their women's team the final day was painted by the players themselves to show that without them there is no such. thing if you come with a. little dose of happy was going to be

a little bit what are we so really sad. really sad and i mean even. if these animals. i mean that i was really sorry. and when we get us thing on forward. sound. take us. with a boy who wanted to sorry for. you know get in the oil. but he says also the boyhood club of costa rica's pride killer not his performances at the world cup in 2014 and you must fight at real madrid and catapulted him to national stardom when you think about football in costa rica it's impossible not to talk about a novice. one goal remember that it actually did make that go to see where it would almost no more you make sure that. they don't know i was going to get it and i don't know that all. of this is

a lot of border to go to read about and he said to you but the fact that i mean. he said that you're good or not there's going to be an international event don't know but. now the us is so important to costa rica that when he arrives home they almost have to shut down the airport when you bring the one i suppose you can all see you. don't know if he was going to go. but i would say. one more song. so maybe a success on the pitch gets that something extra from their philosophy off the pitch one of happiness positivity and dreams. then isn't. enough for them to have been the phenomenon therefore it is going to be honest but

i thought. it all much better than it was. because i did think the get it if so decided to be a drag on the farm in the name of. what i meant they. know as well as we know we're not. all macho business cynical but i think they're not united. on the for the hypothetical in fact people with bill seem to be going to the front the. u.s. and france to say that the people on the in the sort of economics a lot of them because when if it goes on when you move on if he wants to go on fortunately our time and cost and we've got has come to an end the let me tell you as soon as i got off the plane it was so obvious that this country is football mad everywhere you look there's football on t.v. series in the streets people playing on the pitches literally everywhere it's

insane and that's what's special about hossa rican football it's ingrained in their d.n.a. engineer it's who they are football runs through their veins and that's why we love costa rica and costa rican football until next time. and we need to go someplace you can copy before i really. did you know the kickoff is now when you. start with nigeria and go on to mexico. to rid of the world and really for you how hard things and so running i'm going to say no to still remain. never people have called so i discuss a book full of pretty serious. birthday today explaining the cold. shoulder as a football pick up on new jersey. admitting it. is
