Los Angeles, United States.- The so-called “unconditional” fans abandoned the Mexican National Team. In a scene rarely seen in the United States, few fans attended the Rose Bowl Stadium for Javier Aguirre’s debut with the Tricolor in the game against New Zealand.
If there is something that hurts the directors and federations, it is their pockets, and this is a clear blow because not even the start of this new process aroused any hope among the fans.
The gold mine is starting to lose its shine. Tickets have not been that expensive either. At the box office, tickets ranged from 40 to 100 dollars, knowing that the Mexican National Team has almost always been a guaranteed business.
The Tricolor had already been abandoned in recent years at the Azteca Stadium, so it is no coincidence that the match against Valencia will be played in Puebla, in October.
A year ago, coach Diego Cocca was fired after the scandalous defeat against the United States in the Nations League Semifinal, but there are versions that suggest that what really made the impression was the poor attendance in the duel against Panama for third place. The Rose Bowl can hold 92,600 spectators, but there are too many gaps in the game against New Zealand. The curious thing is that the record attendance at a Tricolor soccer game in the United States was precisely against New Zealand, in 2010, when 90,526 spectators attended the Rose Bowl. Just two months ago, Mexico faced Brazil and had the intention of establishing a new record, but failed in the attempt.
