July 10. It’s a day of anniversary, as the Mexico U17 World Cup winning team celebrates the 10 year anniversary of their World Cup win on this date back in 2011. Mexico won all of their matches to get their second U17 World Cup title, and up to now, their last. While Mexico has become a U17 powerhouse, ending in fourth place in 2015 and in second place in the 2013 and 2019 editions, as close as they have been they still have yet to win another title. It’s also coming up on the fifth anniversary of one of my first articles for FMF State of Mind, where I said that there was a danger that most of the players from the 2011 team didn’t look to be as successful as expected.
