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?

We linked up with the guys from Desde la Porra , Kike and El Tony, to settle one of the biggest debates in North American football: MLS vs Liga MX. We break down which league does it better when it comes to academies, long-term planning, national team impact, European exports, and real rivalries.

Of course, once Chivas fans get together, things heat up. We talk about how Chivas and América shape the Mexican national team, why their influence matters, and how both leagues are building the future of the game in very different ways.

The America jersey comes with pressure, noise, and expectations, and not everyone is built to handle it. In this episode, we talk about players we believe were overrated because they couldn’t live up to the hype once they put on the América shirt.

We break down Rubens Sambueza, Nicolás Castillo, and Vicente Matías Vuoso.

Wearing that jersey exposes mentality fast and not everyone passes the test

In this episode, we shine a light on some of the most underrated extranjeros in Liga MX history, the ones who didn’t always grab headlines but controlled games from the middle of the pitch. We talk about Sinha, Pony Ruiz, and Leandro Augusto, and why midfield is the hardest, and most overlooked, position in football.

Even though we’ve always frowned upon the extranjero rule, there’s no denying that some foreign players didn’t just pass through Liga MX, they became legends. In this episode, we break down the impact of José Saturnino Cardozo, André-Pierre Gignac, Christian Chaco Giménez, and Humberto Suazo.

We talk about what made them different, how they earned respect from fans, and why these extranjeros became club icons instead of short-term signings. Love the rule or hate it, these are the foreign players who changed Liga MX forever.

Football confessions continue. In Part 2, we get honest about the coaches we think are complete frauds, the weird superstitions we’ve followed as fans, and the rituals we swear somehow worked. We wrap it all up with one final confession that probably should’ve stayed private, but this is Football Confessions after all

We’re joined by our friend Alan to talk all things FIFA. From our favorite FIFA games of all time to why Ultimate Team feels more like a money grab than a football mode, we break down what made the game special, and what ruined it. We also dive into our Pro Clubs stories, the chaos of playing with friends, and why that mode might be the real heart of FIFA.

Javier joins us once again, and we’re still not over that Chicharito missed penalty. In this episode, we break down everything from that moment, how the team played, what went wrong with the subs, and our thoughts on Milito’s decisions. Pure frustration, the Chivas therapy session we all needed.

In this episode, we open up about the teams we can’t stand, the national squads we secretly root for, and the players we pretended to like just to for the vibes.

In the final part of The Weird, The Wild & The WTF series, we head to the lands where football isn’t just a sport, it’s survival, ritual, and religion.

From Africa’s pre-game witch doctors and money disputes to Argentina’s barrios painted in club colors and all the way to Mexico’s beer-soaked stadiums and banned chants, this episode dives into the rawest passion the game has to offer.

We uncover how superstition, chaos, and love for the badge shape football in Nigeria, Mexico, and Argentina
