Pablo Barrera
Someone changed Barrera's club to Calcio's Lazio. This is false, he still plays for UNAM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.212.238.143 (talk) 17:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Mexico managers
I have changed the "Notable managers" section and it no longer reads as such. Instead it is a list of Mexico's managers throughout the years. I gathered most of the data from the FEMEXFUT web-site, but obviously there are still a few gaps to be filled. Please feel free to add onto the list in order to make it as comprehensive as possible. .cosme. (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:FOOTY and WT:FOOTY
I would also like to encourage everyone to read the ongoing discussion at WP:FOOTY as well as WT:FOOTY. The issue I'd like to point to is regarding the role of "Notable Players" in Wikipedia articles. Though there are exceptions, such as a list based on quantifiable qualities, a list without justification might not be acceptable. So if you strongly believe that a player is notable in the history of the Mexican national football team, I encourage you to specify in the article's text the reasons for his notability. For now I'll leave the list as it is, but I plan on making substantial edits to it over time, just as I did to the "Notable managers" section which is now more of a list of managers through the years..cosme. (talk) 17:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * On Player Notability: There are simply too many players on this list without justification for their notablility. If you think a player is truly notable in the course of the Mexican national football team's history, I encourage you to incorporate that player and his role and impact on the Mexican team in the main article. There's no need to include players that only had one or two caps with the senior squad, regardless of their club or managerial accomplishments at other times. There are better means to discuss a player's notability. There are quantifiable accomplishments that verify that individuals notability, such as caps, goals, minutes played, etc. .cosme. (talk) 15:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Expand and Include Sections
I encourage everyone and anyone to add to this article! We need more history and more information on the major tournaments the team has participated in as well as changes to the structure of the team throughout the decades. Information on the kits, coaching changes, etc. would be great to have. My knowledge is limited, but I think that the changes I've made have gone toward improving the article greatly..cosme.

Mexico Head-to-Head Record
Ok, I've started a page for Mexico's international head-to-head record: Mexico national football team record. I'm just informing everyone about it. Feel free to add results that took place before 1929, because thats when Mexico joined FIFA. I used FIFA's head-to-head tool to find all the info. Also, if anyone wants to add a section to Mexico's page, please go ahead. I feel it shows the national side's strength more clearly. Thanks. Lordoffireanddeath26 (talk) 03:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Mexico:History
I propose rewriting the entire history section. I feel that its too broken up and would probably benefit from continuity and fluidity. So within a few days, I think I'll be able to revise most of it. But before I do anything too drastic, I was wondering what everyone else thinks. Thanks in advance. MxcnKing926 (talk) 21:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, I've begun work on the article as a separate Word doc, but I'm having some trouble finding sources. Especially about the early history since those in the article lead nowhere.  So unless someone can find credible sources, I think it's best to remove the information.  MxcnKing926 (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Assuming victories
I do not feel it is in the best interest of Mexican Soccer to assume that a victory will be had over an opponent, especially in a tournament setting. It is being assumed that Mexico will beat Costa Rica on the 23rd of July and will certainly play in the Gold Cup Final. Unless someone has a time machine, the outcome of the match has yet to be determined. Please change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.123.95.193 (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

ICONS
Notwithstanding the arguments about this page having too many icons and looking pretty garish IMO, the icon used for the FIFA Confederations Cup and FIFA U-17 World Cup cup is a specific icon for the FIFA World Cup and us such should not be used here.

 * This error appears to have been fixed, but some editors seem insistent that the articles needs images of trophies and medal, which I feel really detracts from the text. The only national football team article to acheive featured article status is Germany women's national football team, and this does not use these excessive and unwieldy little images. The standard of that article is what should be aimed at. Dancarney (talk) 07:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Should retired players be included?
To avoid future reverts on this topic to this article after its protection expiries, we should discuss if this information should go or not. I start saying that no. Wikipedia is not a memorial site and adding "players who have been called up to mexico [sic] in the last 12 months, not for players who can be call for the team." is factually wrong, absurd and useless. Why we will include Guillermo Franco a year when the header is titled "recent call-ups"? Encyclopedic value = 0. Tb hotch * ۩ ۞ 05:22, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * <--- THAT'S WRONG WITH ALL RESPECT THIS LAS TOPIC ARE WRONG, THE LAS 12 MONTHS IS A YAER, SO Guillermo Franco AND Óscar Pérez Rojas SHOULD BE IN THE LIST ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NO MORE IN THE NATIONAL TEAM.
 * Retired players should not be added, in other national team articles such as France, Italy and Germany, their retired players are not added. There is no point in adding the retired players since they will not play for the national team again unless they come out of national team retirement.  GoPurple  'n  Gold24   22:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Adding colour backgrounds to Schedule and results table
My edit was reverted and a note was placed to discuss the Schedule and results table.

The Cachirules Affaire
Hello to all.

I desire to share with all this information for discussion. In the program of ESPN in Spanish “Fútbol Picante” that abords the Mexican soccer in the edition of March 20,2008 they touched the subject of the Cachirules since it was in that day turned twenty years of the scandal. The program tells that in January 1988 FIFA it publishes in his official organ of diffusion "FIFA News" an order taken by the Executive Committee ordering to all the national federations that all the members of the national equipment that took part in all matches and competitions organized by FIFA verified with true documents that fulfilled the required ages to compete. After the Olympic Mexican national selection obtains his qualification to the Olympic Tournament of soccer of Seoul in Honduras, the journalist Antonio Moreno knowing the FIFA disposition makes a work of information where discovers that several members of the equipment fake their age declaring to the autorities in charge of the area of CONCACAF to organize the competition that had less years of age to be able to compete in the match that was verified, after publishing in the Mexican nationwide sport newspaper “Esto”, by the same CONCACAF´s autorities. The program also says that in June of 1988 in a special meeting of FIFA in its seat in Zurich, Switzerland the Executive Committee decided to suspend to Mexico by two years (from 1988 to 1990) prevailing to him of its classification to the Olympic match in favour to Guatemala that was the main idea but also preventing to participate him in the eliminatory tournaments of 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1989 FIFA u-21 World Cup in Saudi Arabia Bicko2008 (talk) 00:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The result would be:

Mexico was one of eight seeded teams in the first round at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. This was the second time a non-hosting CONCACAF nation was seeded. Mexico was put in Group D with Iran, Angola and Portugal. Mexico won their opening match 3–1 against Iran, with two goals from Omar Bravo and one by Antônio Naelson. In their second match, Mexico played to a 0–0 draw against Angola. Mexico joined Portugal as a qualifier in the round-of-16, despite losing to the Portuguese 2–1.

2012 Summer Olympics
As far as sports records are concerned, the winner of the 2012 Olympic football tournament was the Mexico national under-23 football team. This article is using the Olympic tournament victory superfluously by making it seem as if the senior Mexican side earned this title.-- MarshalN20 T al k 20:47, 22 June 2014 (UTC)


 * FIFA allows the Uruguayan federation to include their two olympic titles on the senior team's player shirts thus displaying four stars(titles). Every senior national team in its wikipedia page includes Olympic medals in the infobox. There is absolutely nothing that has been written that isn't factual. All this data is easily available for anyone to verify. Fv1209 (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2014 (UTC)


 * You're clearly misunderstanding the history of Olympic tournaments. Uruguay's senior side participated in the Olympic tournaments that they won prior to the first FIFA World Cup in 1930. The history of senior team participation in the tournament is convoluted up to 1992, when FIFA officially set the age limit to U-23 players (and only 3 players over 23 years of age could join). Clearly, a 2012 Olympic victory in football is in no way related to the senior side.-- MarshalN20 T al k 21:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

If that is the case then why do senior national teams have their Gold medals displayed in their trophy info box sections and in their Honors\Titles section in Wikipedia? Again, you have failed to make a valid argument about why that statement should be removed. B575 (talk) 00:23, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Any senior national football team that displays Olympic information in their records section must have had their senior team play the tournament, not just three players over 21 years of age (which may, or may not, be senior national team players). According to the article Football at the Summer Olympics, non-UEFA and non-CONMEBOL teams were allowed to field their best professional sides up until 1992 (when the rules became standard for all teams across the board). Mexico's youth squad win in the 2012 Olympic tournament is clearly well-past 1992, and cannot be considered an achievement of the senior national football team. Regards.-- MarshalN20 T al k 00:47, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

That is incorrect, all the Gold medal winners had competed as amateurs up until 1992 when professional players were allowed as long as they were u-23 with three "over aged" players as well. The Gold medals won by national teams like Spain, Nigeria, Ghana, France and Argentina have been achieved after 1992, jut like Mexico's. The statement in the third paragraph is just an anecdotal trivia and most footballing fans know that the three most important world national tournaments are World Cup, Confederations cup, Summer Olympics. It is my impression that since you are a fan of the Peruvian national team that you are trying to minimize the success of the Mexican national team, at least that is how you're coming across. Like stated before, the senior pages of the Italian, French, Brazilian, Argentinian, Spanish have their Olympic gold in their info box and their honors/titles section and all of them were played by amateur players until 1992. B575 (talk) 01:19, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Trivial information is not relevant for this article. Wikipedia is based on sources, not on personal opinions. Most football fans I know would not consider the Confederations Cup on the same level as the FIFA World Cup.
 * I also haven't, at any instance, compared the Mexican team to that of any other country.
 * The errors of other articles do not make the errors in this one correct.-- MarshalN20 T al k 01:53, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * In terms of article models, the only two featured articles that have any weight in content style are those of the Scotland national football team and the Peru national football team. Both mention the Olympic tournaments, but only information relevant to the senior side. In Peru's case, the only Olympic tournament mentioned is the 1936 one, where Peru fielded its senior national football team. Its other Olympic participation, in the second half of the 20th century, is not mentioned in its history or records.-- MarshalN20 T al k 02:13, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Why is the 4th place showing in 1968 the highlighted record rather than the 2012 victory? As someone just trying to read the article the red without a legend doesn't make sense there. Willy1234x1 (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

The proper translation of the team is not Mexican as in nationality but Mexico as in country as is what is followed with all other national football teams that the host nation title translates to the host country rather than the host nationality.


 * Sorry to break it to you but it is a title rather than a string of words so as for same meaning that is incorrect. When Mexico is changed to Mexican then the origin of that title is changed. Remember, this is not a time to impose an "English" grammar on a "Spanish" language. The extent of the proper use of Mexican national team in lieu of Mexico national team is such that the original article title was changed when it was found to be a grammatical error in translation.

And what is this about changing talk page comments? When one reverts which is what is the normal practice, it seems that WP does that automatically unless WP is not letting on that some how the isntructions for the page are incorrect?2605:E000:9143:7000:3832:5234:5BA4:7DB6 (talk) 03:14, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Because basically when you boil the question down you are saying that you do not have the proper skill in the area yet continue on some perceived crusade to impose your incomplete understanding on others?

 * The OP says "what is followed with all other national football teams", and in a Teahouse post refers to the Germany national football team, but perhaps he failed to notice that in that article the phrase "German national team" is used 5 times. There is therefore nothing unusual in the phrase "Mexican national team" being used once in this article (and once in a reference which confirms that the phrase is not unusual in English usage). - David Biddulph (talk) 07:13, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

"three most important international non regional football tournaments"
This claim is excessive and completely unsourced. It was added in this edit (diff) by User:Fv1209.-- MarshalN20 T al k 20:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Why is the claim excessive? It is a fact that Mexico is one of only a handful of nations to have won at least two out those three tournaments. What is not factual about that? All senior national teams have their Olympic Gold or Silver titles on their Wikipedia info boxes. I honestly do not understand what is your contention. B575 (talk) 00:06, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

This claim is aggrandizing the accomplishments of the Mexican National Team by drawing a false equivalency. Neither the Confederations Cup or the Olympic Gold medal are considered to be of similar importance to the World Cup. There are no such claims on the pages for the Brazilian National Team or German National Team because it is irrelevant.

EDIT: I apologize in that the three major tournaments claim is made on the other teams pages. There is still grounds to believe that this is drawing a false equivalency between the three tournaments. But it should be a wider cleanse of national team pages. I'll leave the topic to the more experienced Wikipedia hands...

This should be removed because it is an opinion cloaked by facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.34.227.174 (talk) 00:37, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

I request to change the captaincy of Mexico National Football team from Andres Guardado to Rafael Marquez as multiple sources state that he is the current captain of the team. Here are the sources: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/rafael-marquez-world-cup-2018-mexico-drug-cartel-captain-a8412251.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/world-cup-2018/article-5875465/Rafael-Marquez-Mexico-World-Cup-captain-revealed-amid-links-cartel-leader-Raul-Flores-Hernandez.html https://the18.com/soccer-news/rafa-marquez-world-cup-record-captain https://www.smh.com.au/sport/mexico-s-world-cup-captain-is-on-a-us-blacklist-20180620-p4zmn2.html 08jstewart (talk) 18:07, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Player order
The players in the sections "Current squad" and "Recent call-ups" should be ordered by caps, and it's pretty clear whoever edited it was just randomly ordering the players. 12.199.121.31 (talk) 00:25, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Why does Hector Moreno appear as unattached?
He still plays for Al-Gharafa SC

I would fix the mistake myself, but it's locked. so please someone fix it
 * According to this comment Tranfermarket is not necessarily reliable. I found that say he would become free agent in January. (CC)  Tb hotch ™ 04:00, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

ehhhh puto
Discussions have been renewed. I saw a video where they say if the fans are caught chanting they will be kicked out of the stadium. if they chant again the referees stop the game and could leave Mexico out of the world cup. the team released a video asking people not to yell ehhhh puto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.205.241.39 (talk) 19:41, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Removing the team's badge from the infobox
During recent years, I've seen users constantly removing the logos from national team's infoboxes, their reasons given being that the logos are technically representative of the federations rather than the national team, and due to licensing limitations (or so I suppose) such logos should only be presented on the federations' articles. With Mexico, though, that is no longer the case. The eagle logo unveiled in late 2021 was actually meant to represent the national team(s) and not the federation, as indicated here. Furthermore, notice how the Mexican Football Federation uses a simple logo with the initials FMF on their website. This is part of a relatively recent strategy taken by some national football federations to have different brandings and images to their national teams'. See the cases of countries like Costa Rica and Spain whose national teams' logos are different from their federations', which, like Mexico, are only limited to their initials. Italy, on the other hand, do prefer a more elaborate logo for their federation while remaining different from that of their national team.

When the eagle logo was unveiled, I uploaded a PNG version with the name properly indicating it was meant for the national team. That file was deleted in order to re-upload it under the SVG format (which is preferred in Wikipedia), but in doing so, the uploader mistakenly named the file as "Mexican Football Federation Logo". That could have sparked the confusion.
