Mexico vs USA: the best memes left by the tie in the Concacaf Classic

The Mexican National Team led by Gerardo Martino took to the field of Estadio Azteca to face the United States, the most competitive rival in the area. After 90 minutes of the match where different personalities and absences wore, the teams shared a point for the statistics. Although the score did not allow the goal cry, social networks were filled with images where users made satire of the highlights of the match.

One of the most mentioned characters in the hours before the match was Manuel Mijares, singer who was present at the Investiture Ceremony of the tenth generation of the International Football Hall of Fame and was appointed to sing the Mexican National Anthem. It was during the formal ceremony that, with the 22 players behind them, he surprised the attendees of the Colossus of Saint Ursula with his performance.

The execution of his number was classified as impeccable. Contrary to what other singers have shown when they sing the National Anthem, the singer of “Soldier del Amor” made no mistake. The recognition moved to social networks, where some users highlighted their participation with memes and took the opportunity to highlight the singer-songwriter's career and success.

During the meeting, another of the names most mentioned during the broadcast was Guillermo Ochoa. And it is that the goalkeeper of the Aguilas del América maintained a great performance that allowed him to end the match without goals against. In the first minutes of the match he was demanded by Yunus Musah, but his experience allowed him to react in a timely manner.

Likewise, on two occasions he had the opportunity to reject clear goal options that Christian Pulisic had. Faced with this, and in the midst of the debate of those who consider him the best goalkeeper today and history against those who think that his ownership is promoted by sponsors, most of the memes were aimed at recognizing his work.

Despite the fact that Memo fulfilled his task, forcefulness did not accompany Gerardo Martino's pupils. The offensive trident was led by Raúl Jimenez, Jesús Manuel Tecatito Corona and Hirving Lozano, but none of the three strikers from European football had the ability to break the zero. In this way, fans evoked the names of two characters.

The first of them was Javier Hernández, who at the time Mexico was defining his move to the world cup, announced that he was playing a video game online. In this regard, a sector of fans condemned Martino for not calling him despite the fact that his offense is not capable of scoring goals. The second one mentioned was Rogelio Funes Mori, who was not considered for this FIFA date and has received constant criticism in the last few times he has defended the tricolor shirt.

Finally, Gerardo Martino was another central character on social media. The goalless draw did not like much of the fans, so they requested his resignation, again, and condemned his decisions on the pitch. Even at the end of the meeting, the stands of the Azteca Stadium were filled with cries that uttered the phrase “Fuera Tata”.

With 22 units under its belt, Mexico will close its participation in the qualifying against Honduras and El Salvador. Although Edson Álvarez considered that the match was favorable for his team, it is also true that they will have to improve their deployment against the Central American teams in order not to compromise their stay in Qatar 2022 as happened in the course of the 2014 World Championship in Brazil.
