El Tri have often played disappointing opposition rather than facing the world's toughest teams, but the way the FMF schedules matches may be changing
Ask any Mexico fan what the label for a El Tri friendly of little meaning is, and they'll know. Especially if takes place in the U.S., that game is a 'molero'.
The term was invented by current Mexico interim manager Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti himself.
While Ferretti is leading the team after Juan Carlos Osorio's departure and before a new manager is named next month, he hasn't softened his criticism of Mexico's frequent matches in the United States rather than scheduling games like Friday's contest against Argentina and the subsequent match against the South American giant next week.
