Analyzing Chicharito's Poor Performance Against Argentina
The Mexican multimedia conglomerate took a dig at the U.S. men's national team on Wednesday. While simultaneously promoting the impending Confederations Cup playoff between Mexico and the United States, the company's promo video uses several clips of Donald Trump to narrate the rivalry's history.
Mexico and the United States will meet on Oct. 13 in Pasadena, California. The winner of this one-off playoff will qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia.
It's a tournament of great significance for both countries.
Jurgen Klinsmann -- in failure -- attempted to use it as motivation during the 2015 Gold Cup.
"I think the biggest part that we're hoping to get from this summer's Gold Cup, because it's a crucial competition because it qualifies us for the Confederations Cup in Russia, is our fans," Klinsmann said before finishing in fourth in the tournament, per US Soccer. "We need our fans to be behind us.
Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti has only been on the job for four weeks, but echoed Klinsmann's sentiment in Mexico.
"The objective here is qualifying for the Confederations Cup," Ferretti said following his appointment, per Diario Mas. "And every time we [the team] get together, we focus on that objective."
The stakes won't be higher come Oct. 13. Fingers crossed Trump will be in attendance.
