This behavior also has occurred in FIFA World Cup tournament matches and World Cup qualifiers.


I do not see FIFA sanctioning Mexico for past transgressions. As host, it will not be playing qualifiers for 2026. So, what would it be based on?

And have them play where, in the US?

Empty stadiums in Mexico. No Mexican club or national team home games outside of Mexico.

make it hit home, FIFA bans the Mexican National Team from World Cup tournaments.


This is CONCACAF. I do not see FIFA doing anything, with WC2026 on the horizon.

It's tough to punish a national team because they have a few asshole fans.


The only way Tri fans might learn is if they are banned from home games in Mexico. Their fans yesterday yelled louder after the warning, even yelled when their own goalie took a late free kick.

I would have just let go


Perhaps invoking the protocol is needed for CONCACAF to take further action.

that's his personal life.


Of course. The issue for us is whether and how this will affect him as part of the team.
