Tamir Bar-OnGUEST
I lived there for 14 years and I would say that Mexicans are obsessed with football or sometimes they'll call it football soccer to differentiate it from American football because they, you know, so close to the United States and they have so many connections with the United States.

Tamir Bar-OnGUEST
I noticed in Mexico that football is, you know, almost on the verge of a national religion.

Tamir Bar-OnGUEST
But what plagues Mexican football is, in fact, not qualifying for the World Cup because they qualify for the World Cup repeatedly, but it's getting to the quarterfinals.

Tamir Bar-OnGUEST
that is and it's an obsession you have so many mexican commentators talking about this why can mexicans not get to the quarterfinals what is it about the national psyche that you know prevents mexicans from getting to the quarterfinals um so i think that's really interesting Now, in terms of the link to politics, I think there are a few things that I can underscore.
