In this solo rant, we go into the Álvaro Fidalgo debate and the hypocrisy surrounding his nationality, the Mexican national team, and the sudden media narrative shift.

For years, Fidalgo was “not Mexican enough.” Now that he’s linked with a move back to Spain, he’s suddenly labeled a Mexican going to Europe. We break down why that framing is wrong, why Fidalgo has repeatedly said he doesn’t want the Mexican national team, and why this situation exposes deeper issues within Mexican football culture.

Is this about football… or validation from Europe?
Is the selección something players choose, or something fans or in this case, Televisa tries to force?
