Mexico

Mexican football is said to be the greatest of all the great unknowns left in the game today. With a rich and vibrant history and a league that compares against the very best in terms of quality and entertainment, it is a nation often overlooked in the English-speaking football world. But not for much longer.

From the glitz and goals of Hugo Sánchez - still one of Real Madrid's greatest players, and certainly Mexico's - to the education paths Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa took in the nation, as well as the unique genius of the incomparable Cuauhtémoc Blanco, this is a magazine built on vibrancy, joy and all things good about El Tri.
