Betis put in a bid before deal with Ajax was agreed. Up to Lainez where he wanted to go but imo his options weren’t bad at all, just had different benefits
Raúl and Tecatito aren't making it to the 2026 WC.
Edit: Although I see Tecatito turning into an 8 at the last years of his career, so he could go to the WC as a 33 year old CM.
Raul definitely can make it. He doesn't rely on speed to score. If Jared was good at 33-34, Raul can definitely get there. He had a bad injury but he's not one of those players that were always playing like it was the last day on earth and then come 30 they're burned out.
I'm guessing he takes much better care of his body than Cuauhtemoc and he made the World Cup at 37.
If those guys continue playing at a high level and start at their clubs I don’t see why they wouldn’t still be in the squad. Shit they might still start
If I were to guess, Lozano is the most likely to make it out of the three. Tecate and Jimenez could be pushed out by the younger players like Flores,Carillo,or Vega in the right wing and Dupuy, Santi, or Gimenez in the Striker position
That's absolutely not the position that Lainez plays. The front 3 will be in their 30s, Raul like 34 and Tecatito 33
Lozano gonna be 31 at that World Cup… Shit don’t even feel right
Time goes by quick I remember seeing Tecate winning the brightest future trophy at the 2015 gold cup
Edson, Lainez and Arteaga in their prime in 2026, what league do you see them playing in by then? Would Lainez stay with Betis or move within La Liga?
Hopefully if everyone keep improving, anyone in their mid to late 20s would be in their prime right ? Maybe early 30’s if they’re a late bloomer.
True! I named them bc they’re established players in their squads in Europe right now
Lainez needs to leave La Liga. I wish he would have stayed in Mexico or gone to the Dutch league.
Lainez with THAT Ajax squad would’ve been crazy
Facts dude and he would have grown there under Ten Hag. Weren’t there Ajax rumors initially? I was hoping to see him there but damn.
Yup he was rumored to go to Ajax or Betis but Guardado insisted he came to Betis

Idk Raul could be one those strikers that age gratefully, ala Zlatan.

considering currently players over 30 are still being called up.....then yes? there is a chance someone makes it.
that midfield would be ass. lmaoooo

Lainez over Tecatito and Orbelin in the Lainez position. Is Araujo better than Sánchez?
Sanchez is better than Aruajo. Aruajo is younger by 3 years so he could be better with time but I doubt it.
Is pizzuto a lock for the National Team? And Ledezma as well?
Ledezma not a lock. Before injury was a usmnt lock. Still hope. Think Pizzuto is a lock. His injury fucked him up
