WORLD CUP SPECIAL #1 - Expectations and Memories of El TRI

About this episode

The episode discusses expectations and memories related to Mexico's national soccer team, El Tri, as the World Cup approaches.

The World Cup is almost here, and El Compa Dave and the one and only Jesus are talking all things El Tri. ⚽️ 🇲🇽 Can Mexico shock the world? Dave says yes. Jesus? He's been hurt too many times to believe that easily. We break down expectations, hopes, concerns, and what a successful summer would actually look like for Mexico. Along the way, we talk heartbreak, cautious optimism, and the uniquely irrational hope that every Mexico fan seems to carry into every tournament. Porque sí... maybe this is the year. And if you've been saying that every four years like we have... welcome home.
