Héctor Moreno said on Orange Slices w heath Pearce how different the pressure is playing in Mexico compared to the US.

It honestly sounded like he was implying Mexican players stay in Liga MX too long because the league is comfortable financially, and that it hurts the national team in the long run. (yt link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=romHSXVkkOU&t=3s)

Feels like every generation has talented players, but way fewer take risks and leave early compared to Argentina or even the US now.

Just listened to the new Orange Slices episode with Jimmy Conrad and thought it was one of the more honest USMNT conversations I’ve heard lately on the team

A lot of it was about how this generation has talent, but we still don’t really know what this team’s identity is yet heading into a home World Cup. Jimmy also talked about how different the pressure is going to be in 2026 compared to anything these players have dealt with before.

Do you guys agree
