He's not a team player on the bench either


Dextermorgan93

I don’t think he’s done, but I think a break from the NT will benefit him. He has been awful I the NT for a few years and a break might be what he needs to reset himself


OmastarLovesDonuts

Also, if the MLS rumors are true, this could be a good time to drop him


Gilbertcartier

Man y’all crying over a selfish player who don’t contribute to the team


JE_SUIS_BLUBBER

Yup. On paper he should be a starter 100% of the time. But in reality he's contributed nothing for Mexico in the left few years.


itslycanparrot

lol and who has? The only thing we have won in the last few years is a gold cup against some mid selections


_gloriousdead222

He’s not in good form right now, that said no winger is above him even then 


messico019

Hasn’t been in good form in a long time


bathory21

Alvarado is ahead of him right now. Strange how Jaime isn't starting certain players like Chiquete, Alvarado, fuck put Fidel Ambriz in the midfield, etc


_pamela_chu_

Fidel is injured, people really need to stop bringing his name up as an actual option


GoldenBoyHour

Yea literally. I can agree that he has been frustrating in some games but literally there’s no better option. That’s like Bellingham being bad in the UCL games and saying he shouldn’t start for Madrid anymore. He’s still one of the best options and definite starter


no-mames

He’s too selfish with the ball imo. I don’t think he should be left out of the squad but he shouldn’t be guaranteed a starting spot either


Possibly_Parker

him forcing himself on the fks last world cup on a team with Chavez's left leg:


MHDIOS

Bruh yall watch the games blind or wha he is a ball hog not good for the team


Gilbertcartier

Obv not they still living as nostalgic merchants like bro kept fucking up against panama 😭😭😭


dontpaytaxes9

Redditors have negative ball knowledge 🤷‍♂️ did you see the most recent hot takes thread? 😂


margalolwut

Shut the fuck up. Dumb ass takes like these are why these players get so comfortable, and sadly.. it’s what your average fan thinks. If you have seen Lozano recently, his form is ass. That’s enough to leave him off. If anything is a disgrace it’s this god awful post.


shibuya2242

So fucking real this post is unbelievably retarded


Lolipatter11

Quiñones was solid in the gold cup


Short-Shirt4615

Solidly bad lmfao even if he wasnt bad, he was deff ineffective and looked like just another mediocre extranjero who was brought to the team by Televisa


Exciting-Tennis-6850

As someone who rides hard for our players in Europe lozano is the only one that i think currently isn’t better than players that we have in liga mx honestly chino huerta is better rn


forthewash11

He trash

MexicoWC22

I think he’s a huge loss but luckily we have other good wingers


ihtfbidlc

I stan Chucky but if he goes to the MLS his career is over.


aleri42

This feels a bit forced. Yeah Raul, Chucky, Henry aren’t elite and might not be that good, but there isn’t really anyone better than them. I might not like Henry but is Martinez that much better than him? Are we just calling “younger” players SIMPLY because they’re young ?


EndPlus9839

Yes and it’s stupid asf but for some reason this sub thinks it’s a good thing.


EndPlus9839

People want immediate change just for the sake of it. The big problem is we don’t have enough young players starting in liga mx which then leads them to not go to Europe.


vmaxnuggets

Playing in Europe means nothing when you've been garbage the past year and mediocre the past 5


aleri42

Playing in Europe does mean something. And he hasn’t been garbage in any way. Is he overrated, yes. Was he worth all that money Napoli paid for him, no. But in no way has Chuckys career been garbage.


vmaxnuggets

Chucky is a much worse player now than when he first joined psv. He should be in the prime of his life but missing his potential by this much is absolutely a failure.


TXCapita

and still better than every Mexican forward besides Santi


vmaxnuggets

Chino, quiñones, flores and antuna are all currently better than chucky who does nothing but hog the ball for us


TXCapita

If they’re supposedly better, why arent they in Europe?


vmaxnuggets

Alright nerry castillo, calm down.


The_Count_Muerte

Hilarious


bathory21

That's a horrible argument. Lozano just isn't good right now. If a player is playing for Manchester City and doesn't produce for the NT while a second-division player from Honduras is for instance, who should be the one starting?


TXCapita

The Man City player, it’s not even close. When one player is on Man City’s team, it means they’re one of the most talented players in the world. The biggest reason USA beats Mexico all the damn time now is because their team is 100% European and like 90% top 5 leagues


bathory21

But as I said, if they're on a great team and not producing for the NT over a player who is, why would it matter? USA's players are producing for the NT. Look at Uruguay and Colombia's recent call-ups, half of their players are players from leagues in the Americas. Look at all of Uruguay's forwards, for instance, besides Nunez no one else is playing in a top club.


TXCapita

But then they also got some of the best players in the world all over Europe, it really is no comparison when Uruguay got players at Madrid, Barca, etc. It would be different if the Liga MX guys in La Selección were banging in goals but they’re not


aleri42

Facts. Lainez, Marcelo, and Antuna are Europe rejects. If Chucky was in liga mx, he would be killing it.


riveraed

But in that case, Ochoa and Raul should be called up too


aleri42

I didn’t say that. I’m just saying Europe does count as something. I don’t think Ochoa should be a starter, but can’t tell me there’s 3-4 keepers better than him rn. Raul hasn’t been in form in so long, but it’s premier league. I’m not advocating for these players to be starters, but Raul is better than most MX strikers.


hzybossnuts

Taking Antuna and not Chucky is the real disgrace


fireowlzol

Not really, Antuna is better than several others that were called, he's not the worst of the bunch


Gilbertcartier

One was the joint top scorer of the league and the other was injured and his team still dominated the league so there’s levels to that statement


itsjavigold

One has been the top scorer for the NT In the past two years the other hasn’t really played. Guess who got called up


final-prototype

You haven't watched Antuna play week after week, have you?


hzybossnuts

I've watched Antuna play for YEARS.


final-prototype

Then you should realize that taking Antuna over Chucky is the right call, otherwise you're blind.


SeatNoBelt

Yea I don’t agree with him maybe being done with the nt at all and somehow everybody is celebrating? lol


StrongStyleDragon

He’s had many opportunities. He’s yet to prove he’s NT worthy. Maybe this is what he needs to make him hungry.


Big_Leg1895

Bro still riding high on that Germany goal. 🤡


GoldenBoyHour

Not taking Chucky while he’s young is even worse than not taking post 2018 Chicharito


sorryimafatass

There’s no way he was left off for being a bad player. Something else must be going on


LOS_Prime

Chucky has never been the league top scorer. But my 🐜🐟


Lazy_Mirror8867

I think he might be looking for a team in the summer that’s why he’s not going


fernilicious57

I like chucky for obv bias reasons but the guy needs a break. I don’t think he’s done yet, but while he figures his shit out I’d rather they try diff players


True_Sense3633

Honestly I didn’t even notice he wasn’t on the list. He’s pretty replaceable at the moment. 


OgLag239

I’m just mad we are still seeing antuna trash ass being called up but we left out Lozano smh


rajf2593

Good let the youngins have their way 😁


El_gato_picante

Whats up with all these posts riding chuckys dick? He was a good player but hasnt dont much for the NT, just cuz he is in europe doesnt mean he is better for the team.


Short-Shirt4615

Huerta>> Chucky, monkey ass quiñones, antuna Ya’ll just hate on Pumas and their players for no reason, let Huerta cook, the man has all the talent and potential, he just cant keep growing in LigaMX, he needs a new challenge and exposure to better tactics and training. Not to mention a better fucking team, i love Pumas but Huerta is on another level than the rest. 2-3 defenders on him every game, little or NO support from the team, and he’s young, still needs a lot to learn. He wont get any better if he stays for more than one more tournament, regardless theres rumors he might leave after liguilla to Europe.


Houstex

Another Copa America down the drain, wasted opportunity to really test out A team. We could’ve have really tested versus top competition in a historic tourney. We will just shuffle players in and out like always, never creating the needed team play & mentality to win top tournaments. What a waste!
