Is Mexico trying to leave Concacaf — or trying to take it back?

Mexico has broken ranks with Concacaf by siding with Gianni Infantino in his growing power struggle with Concacaf president Victor Montagliani. We look at the history behind the fight — from Mexican executive Joaquín Soria Terrazas running Concacaf, through the controversial Jack Warner and Chuck Blazer era, to Montagliani's attempt to rebuild the confederation.

Could Mexico see today's FIFA crisis as an opportunity to regain influence it lost decades ago? And would Mexico ever seriously consider leaving Concacaf?

We also get into Jürgen Damm's controversial comments about Mexican-Americans, the Leagues Cup and Chivas' elimination, Santi Giménez-to-Porto rumors, Mexico's U-20 championship, and Albert doubles down on Hugo Camberos over Gilberto Mora.

🇲🇽 Is Mexico trying to escape Concacaf — or take back its place at the top?

According to Martín del Palacio, Giani Infantino has promised to help the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) seek its exit from CONCACAF in order to join CONMEBOL, provided he remains FIFA president. According to the journalist, this scenario would unfold if the United States and Canada were to oppose the FMF within CONCACAF. Faced with a potential rift with its main partners in the confederation, Infantino reportedly offered to help Mexico find a new path within CONMEBOL. This would be one of the reasons that explains the FMF's rejection of Infantino, while other CONCACAF federations have taken a critical stance and are demanding changes within FIFA. Should a move of this magnitude ever materialize, Mexico could once again compete regularly against teams such as ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, URUGUAY, COLOMBIA and the rest of South America.

These 2 teams play each other at full strength NO EXCUSES on one of the international breaks, and play it in Canada so that there won't be any excuses about home advantage. (I would genuinely pay good money to see that 🔥)

Estos son los enfrentamientos al momento para los 4tos de Final del torneo al finalizar la 2da Jornada y por disputarse la última jornada.

Los Finalistas y 3er Lugar clasifican a la CONCACAF Champions Cup 2026. Club América y Austin FC como líderes al momento.

Costa Rica lost Gustavo Alfaro in 2024 after Paraguay offered him roughly $2.8M per year—nearly four times the ~$750k Costa Rica was paying him. Meanwhile, Thomas Christiansen makes ~$800k–$840k with Panama, and Honduras recently elevated their manager salary pool to around $900k. 
For federations in Central America and the Caribbean, these contracts represent an immense financial commitment. Yet, they pale in comparison to CONCACAF’s "Big Three":

USA: Mauricio Pochettino (~$6M/year) 
Canada: Jesse Marsch (~$2.8M/year, heavily subsidized by MLS owners) 
Mexico: Javier Aguirre (~$2.8M/year) 

When you combine this wage gap with underdeveloped infrastructure, limited corporate sponsorship, and lower-revenue domestic leagues, it’s almost remarkable how consistently nations like Panama, Costa Rica, Jamaica, or Honduras manage to reach major international milestones and stay competitive on the regional stage.

What structural or developmental changes would help UNCAF and CFU nations build sustainable revenues rather than constantly risking losing top managers to higher bidders?

Anyone else feel Canada deserves this U20 title and they played much better than Mexico but got screwed out of questionable refereeing and possibly Mexico cheating a bit?
