Despite only losing twice, the Mexico boss is still a divisive figure. A good showing in Russia could change all that for the Colombian coach
Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio is not the most beloved man in Mexico.
Before and after every game in the North American country obsessed with debating the sport and the issues around it, many fans and commentators find fault with the Colombian's decisions. That scene is familiar enough around the world, but the fact that Osorio has won the majority of his matches since taking over in fall 2015 and has lost just twice - one an embarrassing 7-0 defeat to Chile in the Copa America Centenario and the other a friendly in late May against Croatia that El Tri quickly shrugged off - creates a scene that is puzzling to many outside observers.
