Though El Tri failed to progress to the quinto partido in Russia, the manager stands to leave the country having advanced the game there
Mexicans love telling a story.
From the telenovelas that make up one of the country's chief cultural exports to the corridos heard throughout the north, it's all about the drama. The Mexico national team sometimes is called the biggest telenovela of them all, and this season once again delivered. There were the pre-tournament concerns after unimpressive friendly games, the players partying with women before setting off for the tournament, then the highs (beating Germany) and lows (losing the last two games) of the World Cup.
