That's crazy talk. Unless you're super young, you have to remember some of their accomplishments. They made it twice to the Quarterfinals in the World Cup. They are ten time CONCACAF champions. Runners up twice in Copa America. They've won a Confederation Cup. Hell, they won the gold medal in the last Olympics.
Mexico is consistently in the mix. I would argue that their glory days are in the past, but they were certainly a regional powerhouse.
There's nobody on el Tri that can play at the same level as Sanchez or Vidal.
