Famous (law) Soccer Players in Mexico

No comments

By Mohammed Wilder

  Mexican soccer was always known for producing quality players and it’s actually quite surprising that their best national team record is reaching the quarter-finals of a World Cup (on two occasions, 1970 and 1986, both of these World Cups being organized by Mexico). However, the Mexican national side has always been a constant presence in final tournaments and it’s regarded as a tough nut to crack, despite their lack of silverware.

Let’s take a short look at some of the players that made Mexico the strong soccer power that it is today.

-Famous Mexican Soccer Players - Antonio Carbajal

Nicknamed “El Cinco Copas”, or “Five Cups”, Antonio Carbajal was the first player to ever participate in 5 World Cups with his national team and has only been equaled in 1998, by German legend Lothar Matthaus. Carbajal played for Mexico in all the 5 World Cups that took place between 1950 and 1966.

-Famous Mexican Soccer Players - Hugo Sanchez

Hugo Sanchez was one of the first Mexico soccer players to play in Europe at the highest level. He was an iconic player for Real Madrid between 1985 and 1992; 7 years in which he scored no less than 253 goals in 283 matches, a goal/match ratio that can hardly be rivaled.

He also played for the Mexico national team on 60 occasions, scoring 29 goals and being an important player in the 1986 World Cup held by Mexico, in which his team managed to equal the quarter-final performance obtained initially in 1970. Hugo Sanchez is currently the manager and coach of the Mexican national squad.

-Famous Mexican Soccer Players - Jared Borgetti

Borgetti was of Italian and Mexican descent and as a striker, he combined the flair and power of Italian soccer with the passion and inventively of Mexican soccer. Although he is still an active soccer player at age 34, he spent most of his time playing in the Mexican league, with 7 years for Santos Laguna, a period of time in which he managed to score close to 200 goals in 300 matches.

But Borgetti’s goalscoring run doesn’t stop here, as he has also managed to come on top of the Mexican national side’s all time score sheet, with 43 goals in 87 matches. Currently, Borgetti is playing for Cruz Azul and although he decided to retire from the Mexican national side for the upcoming World Cup, he stated that he would love to play for his country one last time, during the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament.

-Famous Mexican Soccer Players - Claudio Suarez

Unlike many other Mexican soccer players that get to celebrate New Years with a completely new club on their payroll, Claudio Suarez has only gone through 4 teams throughout his entire career: UNAM Pumas (1989-1996), Chivas de Guadalajara (1996-1999), UANL Tigres (1999-2005) and Chivas USA (2006). He made a strong impression for all of these clubs and many consider him one of the best Mexican defenders to have played for his country.

Although an extraordinary defender is currently contesting this title away from Claudio Suarez, namely Rafael Marquez of Barcelona, there’s one title that will hardly be touched by anyone for a long time: Claudio Suarez currently holds the record for international caps with the Mexican national team, with an amazing 178 appearances.

-Famous Mexican Soccer Players - Rafael Marquez

Rafael Marquez is probably the best-known Mexican soccer player of today, being one of the most important members of Spanish side FC Barcelona. Marquez’ ability to play as a central or right defender as well as a defensive midfielder earned him the aura of a “handyman”, being able to play wherever his coach would need him the most.

However, Marquez has recently steadied down as a central defender, playing on this position for the Mexican national side as well as for FC Barcelona in the last years. Age 28, Rafael Marquez is the captain of the Mexican national squad and is already being considered one of the best players in the country’s history, next to legendary names such as Hugo Sanchez or Claudio Suarez.

Some of the most important things that you need to understand about cheap motocross helmets have been listed below. Make sure you pay close attention to ensure you pick the right one for you!

There is a range of ways that a consumer can review the quality of a lid without actually using it. The most common way to do so is to ensure that it is approved by DOT/SNELL/ECE.

Some cheap motocross helmets will not be approved by any of the above and are usually of poor quality. Look around for approved products that have unbiased and positive reviews before choosing one product.

It might not feel like it should be a priority, but cheap motocross helmets without removable lining are helmets that are not going to last long. You can either leave it dirty or jet wash it and neither are advisable. Having removable lining makes cleaning your helmet simple!

You Can Grow Taller by Sleeping Right

By TJ Marcus

  Are you looking for ways to make your legs longer than they are? If our parents elaborated on the relation of sleeping to our growth and the long term effects as well as benefits of having a great height, we probably wouldn’t have wasted a single minute on watching television, then.

So what is the connection between sleep and growth, you might ask?

Before anything else, you must remember that in order to succeed in your quest to grow taller, you have to consider all the different factors that will contribute to the improvement of your height-your diet, exercise, and constant 8-hour sleep during evenings.

Sleeping without a pillow is advised for a better alignment in your spine, too. Sleeping flat on your back allows your spine to decompress; so try to make it a habit. But if ever you can’t, opt for a smaller pillow to rest your head on.

Most importantly, you should know that the initial hours of sleeping are crucial for proper growth; so you have to make it a point to sleep for 8 hours every night if you want to grow taller.
