least they're one of 16 nations fighting for the gold cup actions that this country football. 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. all reports are done you're barcelona went to mexico city to find out buckle up because we're coming with off to mexico with kick off life. here in mexico city the capital of mexico a country where everyone baseball. 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. you know the take the next step when it comes to world

football so why in this world here in mexico city to find out what mexico thinks. mexico should be a power it's a nation that's home to around a 130000000 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 next standout players capable of playing in the world's top leagues and a passion for football that's more than love but obsession so what's the problem. with that look local. mexico is a country ripe with corruption and social disparity 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 the head games crime rates in the country dropped. people the. biggest. little. glimpses. of people the people who. put the mexican relationship with l.t.e. 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 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. but why. we need an expert and what

a better expert empathic part 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. most in not glass as it was it did last august when the companies in one will just quit when they are not plus their. raise. 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.

but if you must. get it with us and it. became. clear that the us and that anyone in the eye of until now. is that there isn't a course in the middle you're listening to. them up it is one of those in the middle. yes or no question this will. be as we look at us in the. league max represents more than football in mexico it represents family culture passion and fun with dante's being a $360.00 degree experience of mexican culture. legal am ex is also wildly successful it's one of the best leagues in the americas and even competes with the top leagues. the world in terms of money and passionate fans.

even though you. may be. in the england. for a little while for little. details. let's take a look inside. this. ice cap. temple of world football where some of the greats like pele and mare 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 the world in the league imax this place is about to pop off. but all that glitters is gold and maybe legal next is

pros are mexican football's constant. rockcliffe. in the middle. part i'm with them if he. doesn't want to be fans out there throw us here by easter. as you have done for the world your produce goodness how long long been in the florida is a wonderful thing for us and all to roll for that i. believe has been criticised for keeping players from progressing to higher quality leaks due to exaggerated salaries and high transferred.

is not and. if. you'll get i'm getting medical and dental she has a. lot of making trouble so i am left i said i'm also a 1000. years the council on this new. kind of make it seem a little fun with god. 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 national team. so in the film you were waiting to see me and for no reason you don't start with a lot of rumors around here and you're going to hear. so what does he think about mexican football and moving to europe you're going to. come on the list of people.

is not a person the number of the location for the maker i don't like i'm a demon with rank you know me didn't we're going to. put him in the quotas. there's a. good time in. them which is a keeper. but the a c. ron must i list i'm carol. costello in this league by you without a. thought on this. i mean. i would guess what the. other end was viewed as one of the next european targets to follow the path of other mexicans abroad. however recently he turned down that opportunity in europe to stay in mexico with club 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 that of enough of us you'll need a little while it was built without a muscle not more than nothing to most of them but us that the reporter broke was one of them that when the other will be out the political scene done before the limos are going up on the block that's are going to as well already have it's no secret that mexico is a big fish in a small town ponding conk out so much so that tournaments in the area like the gold cup i believe be considered natural father of course is assuming he caught up with it i met with some of the from florida to. let them play christmas football more trouble is serious as a record of a lot of the potential of the stuff. thrown. was and what they're going to for the nationals it was a little real scenes of deal was a little bit of. as i'm going to see a president must say that. he has one little bit

but i mean there was. such a future could be bright with new coach alone i thought how much do you know and a new wave of talent if you mexico be on the verge of something free. that he was. going to have been a lot of this. just but he ends up winning ends on its own as. i said on until this summer in the southern don't care is this from anything i want to get him to lock up us out of the mental bit of time in sorrento demand. that all mr rogers up with . was a little older they love him so now it's up again with them and some will get him most of them so it's a little no little to know you but a little of his you know with a you. get when the people forget because everybody was on the make a. visit when the. little bit of trouble.

so when i take it 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 never change is the support of the mexican fans for believes that their time is now. is not. over. mexico is not the region's only football crazy country than you once or costa rica to see how a small nation consistently pulls off big performances in. costa rica. beautiful beaches and lush greenery. and great football. even though costa rica is a small country with

a population of less than most big fish and they are basically stacked against them they've been able to leave their mark on the world as one of the most passionate underdog who always keep the big boys honest but what is it about casa rican football and costa rican that give them that little something extra what makes possibly can for buffalo special and what is costa rican football passion look like go. to the ball in costa rica is not just a sport in mean something more to turn around 5000000 people who live here it's a deep part of the culture and goes right to very core it's a custom rican goes our people's lives revolve around football. ok so it's a holiday today and we can't have 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 to. in one park so

what do people do when they play football the main thing. people who leave work early on game day spend time with their families and friends at the stadiums and holidays have even been declared to watch the national team play because these that this. is that what you're left with but this is. enough that you're thinking in. the living room. and it's not just in their blood here in costa rica everywhere you look you see football hope they're selling shares of china to get hit by a car just it's going on. there with all of the. books i read. both are true that you will.

see. as well as i cannot quote ok and going to win the gold cup you heard it here 1st. costa rican lived their lives by the famous saying food but it's more than just the singing 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. we're. going. to get a better idea about what football means to costa rica we need someone who lives it every day. for a living so why is football so special here i am full of want.

a is not. the right of your. book if. you. can change people's moods to 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 is called. the league 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 contract champions cup which is the contract champions

league now and they did something ridiculous they finished 3rd at the feet of. somebody who knows what football means to costa rica is veteran midfielder christian. after starting his career he made the jump to year before trying his hand you could target any major league soccer. now he's back where it all began hole mats a piece of a clutch especially known for its large and heated fan base. they're. going to see the movie field from being. normal. well the birth of your little yes.

the ultimate goal for most players is to represent their country on the international level bolanos has accomplished something that few players have he's represented costa rica in sri cops 200-620-1420 extension 18. but i mean there are no anything more to. do with. the border but in the corner coming. out of. her car 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 plays everything in costa rica stops. you know came here for one thing if you come in

running this on a 6 year. old. you know you've been on the list all around the world by this i will get a call i'm going up one side and ask ourselves yes i couldn't use that believing in the piece of game you. saying you. can't. seems. to work. or you know. or on the we're going to. pick up but i thought i was. more or. for most people costa rica burst onto the scene at the 2 dozen 14 world cup after doing young thinkable and top in what most people called the group of death with england. 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 honest i was. a pussy and. this. incident on our. as a spot. on my single years there was that all. the old saying if we cop out and. you know. it will be impossible to get. it also know. that you will cop possibly wrong because everything you know and trying to look isn't it awful that being a looking a little busy because of it so much money going up like this article is something that shows how the passion for football unites all costa rica ends 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 to clubs trying to get 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. in record numbers. these guys have been playing their drums the entire game so far 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 fans stay to congratulate the players get autographs and take selfies.

there's a. you know. this mural was painted for international women's day campaign to give visibility to their women's team the final was painted by the players themselves to show that without them there is no such. thing if you come which. is going to be elegant on what are we see me sad. because he's had a full book i mean even. if you think it's almost. a form up it was something that i was really sorry. and when we get us thing on forward. sound good. but i'll take us. with a boy who wanted to sorry for. you know get in the little.

supper he says also the boyhood club of costa rica's pride killer not his performances at the world cup in 2014 and him a spot at real madrid and catapulted him to national stardom when you think about football in costa rica it's impossible not to talk about. one told me myself and i didn't see the make up blow to see where one of those employees might show that i was going to i don't know i was going to pretend i didn't know that oprah got out as i said no to both you and i was about to read about it so i didn't see you but to back up that means i need a piece of it good or not it's going to go to google someday and get better now it's 37 joe and my boys are pleased that. i'm out is so important to costa rica that when he arrives home they almost have to shut down the airport so i mean if you're going to be one i suppose you can hold in those acquittals you . don't know if he was going to go.

but you keep this going to be on the spot possible doing but i would say you went and foremost alone. or not. so maybe less because success on the pitch gets that something extra from their philosophy off the pitch one of happiness positivity and dreams. that it wasn't proven and you know thank you for being up in one on the what is going to be on this but i thought almost all of us would almost bet on the name of islam but if we're going to be looked at as i do that i don't think the get it if thing so i decided to be i don't know if i mean i thought the name was with google or i meant the. length of your growth rate though as well as we know we're not going up one goal which others of course i think what i'm going for another and i'm. sorry i don't prefer the hypothetical in fact people must believe that the women are spread throughout their

that us and i feel i'm less than to say that's clear would be cool fun though in a sort of found most economists a lot of hope was when i said for someone more than i thought it was so i'm fortunately our time and cost and we've got house comes to an end so let me tell you as soon as i got off the plane. it was so obvious that this country and football match everywhere you look there's folks on t.v. there's his on the streets people playing football on the pitch is literally everywhere it's insane and that's what's special about hossa rican football it's ingrained in their d.n.a. here 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 could have moved up and we need to go get some plus we can copy before i really. did you know kick off is now when you cheat with the world of football. with nigeria it was north of mexico broke

through to read we travel the world can really feel how hard your grandsons are running i'm going to sign you know the stalls me guns and there were people in the coach and i just got football arm chris here it's. a very nice day and it's going to go well. it's a football kickoff on you treat. it to you.
