Mexicans love soccer! It flows through their veins and they can't live without it. It is part of their daily lives and they watch as many games on TV as they can. On my mission it was very normal to walk into a house with a soccer game on; and when they weren't watching it, they were playing it. Various times we would play soccer with them and we were no match for their skills. They would maneuver around us like we were standing still! When they shot the ball towards the goal, it was a lightning strike! The following is an excerpt from a Hispanic online news source called Univision describing how the face of soccer is changing in Mexico.
"Se ganó madurez, hoy el jugador está más preparado, es más inteligente, es cierto que antes los clásicos eran extraordinarios, pero no quiere decir que ahora no lo son, son diferentes épocas, pero hoy nosotros vivimos la nuestra época aunque no quiere decir que no tengamos pasión".
Explicó que de igual manera los jugadores corren, "te entregas al máximo, la gente hace un lleno, creo que hoy pasa por el tema de respeto, uno tiene que tener respeto por el rival aunque dentro de la cancha el respeto no va, pero en la declaraciones sí".
