MEXICO CITY — Mexico coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino has reminded his players that participating in the CONCACAF Nations League is at times “like returning to being amateurs” and urged them to make the most of every opportunity with the national team.
El Tri needed to extend its dressing room in order to accommodate their traveling party ahead of their 5-1 win at Bermuda on Friday. And both Martino and former United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann have questioned how much the U.S. and Mexico have to…
Gerardo Martino’s Nations League roster includes only four players from Mexico’s 2018 World Cup run.
Mexico manager Gerardo Martino won’t admit to promoting a youth revolution within his squad, but he doesn’t need to say a word. In sculpting his team for the CONCACAF Nations League, El Tri’s manager is quietly pushing for a much-needed infusion of young talent.
Mexico’s roster for the latest round of games includes 15 players with five or fewer national team caps, two of whom are enjoying their first call-ups. Martino’s management can make it easy to miss the absences of stalwarts such as goalkeeper…

Carlos Vela’s name will be the subject of headlines far outside the United States after his hat trick in the Los Angeles Football Club’s 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids — in U.S. legend Tim Howard’s final game — saw him break the Major League Soccer record for most goals in a single season.

TOLUCA — Mexico’s Gold Cup win in the summer may not be the most important positive for Gerardo “Tata” Martino since he took over as head coach of the Mexico national team at the start of the year. That particular title may just be the fact Martino is being allowed to hold mini-camps with young domestic players and games outside of FIFA international dates, like Wednesday’s 2-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago.
Not many leagues in the world that boast national teams inside the top 20 of the FIFA…
