Dear Mexican Football Selection,

Why do you hate me? Me and all your loyal fans that tune in to watch you play year after year regardless of the disappointments you manage to formulate? I have not suffered so much with a team since the Patriots, who sucked for the longest time but who have managed to pull themselves out of obscurity and make themselves the number 1 team to hate of the decade (I still love ‘em). Could you not pull a Patriots one of these years and actually put out the performance you are supposed to?

On paper, you are supposed to be fantastic, your line up is one of the best and most diversified in ages…why is it then that you can not seem to plug the holes in your defense when everybody in the starting position back there is so good the are playing in Euro clubs?

Watching you play against Argentina tonight seriously reduced my life-span by seven years, with all those close calls you always seem to get and never seem to know how to finish. 4-1! Four to one, you could have lost with some dignity and made it closer.

I still love you…but we need to have a talk about this. You are becoming a hazard to my health.

Hopelessly yours,

Fco.
