Over a thousand likes for this, even though the USMNT:
- Did not win the recent nations league nor the gold cup tournaments (🇲🇽did)
- Lost against the teams 🇲🇽 faced in friendlies
- had a bad process under Pochettino
- Is never the actual “local” team
Yeah, Brian Gutierrez started his career and was born in USA… but having a Mexican American (born from Mexican parents) represent Mexico really isn’t the same as having Dest,Tim Weah (Weah’s dad was another country’s president), etc play for the USMNT
just some thoughts of mine
@chefcomplimentr@DictatorKiffin Nothing to do with skin color lol
Its just the having the dad who was the president of a different country thing compared to some regular mexican household in usa lol
Malick Tillman would have been a way better example than Weah though
@chefcomplimentr@DictatorKiffin Just saying that it’s not the same thing. I don’t care if USMNT and Mexico have players born outside of America. Diversity wins in sports. I only brought them up because of the talking points some USMNT fans made about mexican americans and Mexico
@48Emilu@willtoliberty Players all older and played professionally longer than him, who was 16 at the time… so yes, they were more experienced. Its like you guys are incapable of thinking
@Ckihoon - Gutierrez grew up in a Mexican household. Dest? In netherlands with not a lick of American culture. Weah? Oh right, chose to represent USA, his dad was the president of another nation.
Only made my tweet because you USMNT fans always bring up mexican americans with Mexico
@chefcomplimentr@DictatorKiffin You’re calling me racist for saying a Mexican American (who grew up in a Mexican household) representing Mexico is very different compared to Weah, the guy whose dad was the president of a completely different nation, representing the USMNT, btw. Go look up what words mean
@chefcomplimentr@DictatorKiffin You don’t know when i started watching 🇲🇽 nor how many finals ive seen. I’ve heard USMNT and MLS fans talking about “catching up” and being “better” since i was growing up just for Mexico & Liga MX to continue to have more trophies 👍🏽
@willtoliberty Just in case you reply with this argument:
“USMNT was not at full strength at the 2025 Gold Cup”
- Mexico used a 16 year old player that game and beat your experienced players with him on the field
@willtoliberty “Better ran program” yet US Soccer:
- FAILED to win Concacaf Champions Cup again (American teams have only won this twice or thrice)
- FAILED to make it to the 2025 Nations League final
- LOST the 2025 Gold Cup final against Mexico
- FAILED to make it to the 2018 World Cup
@Ckihoon - Gutierrez grew up in a Mexican household. Dest? In netherlands with not a lick of American culture. Weah? Oh right, chose to represent USA, his dad was the president of another nation.

@Ckihoon - Where did Dest grow up? Not in USA
- Weah’s dad was another country’s president. What’s not clicking?
Want me to mention other players?
Again, it’s literally not the same as Brian Gutierrez’s case, “bozo”
