MEXICO CITY -- If the Mexican Football Federation's plan was to have its national side reaching places they had never been before in the World Cup in eight years' time, those ambitions suffered a huge setback on Wednesday: An early elimination at the Central American and Caribbean Games for a generation called upon to write that history many aspire to see becoming a reality in Mexico.
Yon de Luisa and his staff presented on Wednesday some of their ideas for the near future, the most noteworthy being the intention that, in the 2026 World Cup hosted by Mexico, the United States and Canada, Mexico could present "the best national team possible" in order to get to a place they have never been before.
