The political and social climate in Mexico has reached a boiling point following the fall of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho,” and the reaction of organized crime has not only paralyzed highways, but also soccer. To the point that it has sparked controversy that the World Cup is in danger.
In the most recent episode of Los Jefes Deportes, a stellar production of Nueva Network and QuéOnnda, the debate escalated: Is it ethical and safe to hold the 2026 World Cup in this context?
World Cup in danger? The editorial of El Brujo
The episode started with the characteristic strength of Álvaro “El Brujo” Morales, who did not mince words.
The controversial host put on the table that, given the murder rate and geopolitical conflicts, neither Mexico nor the United States should host the event at this time.
“Seeing all the international and local conflicts… the World Cup should not have been held in either the United States or Mexico,” said Morales, even suggesting that the political climate in the U.S. could provoke boycotts by European powers.
Hermosillo: “It is shameful and sad”.
For his part, legend Carlos Hermosillo, Mexico’s top scorer in the history of Liga MX, showed his more human side and was concerned about the country’s situation.
With his heart in his hand, the idol of the fans was blunt about the national reality:
“What we are experiencing today in our country is shameful, regrettable and very sad. The World Cup in this country, with all the pain in my heart, should not be held because there are no guarantees of security, tranquility and peace.”
Juan Carlos Gabriel de Anda and the power of FIFA
King” Juan Carlos Gabriel de Anda provided the crudest insight into the business behind the ball.
He questioned the power of FIFA, even comparing it to NATO, and criticized the hypocrisy of international organizations that, in his words, “administer the game” while ordinary citizens live in fear.
“We are all part of this circus… they don’t give a damn about the tranquility and peace of human beings,” said De Anda, pointing out that the organizers are, to a certain extent, accomplices in the climate.
Soccer under fire: Suspensions in Liga MX
The debate did not stop at theory.
Fernando Ceballos, the “Chiva Mayor,” brought fresh data from the field, confirming that state security in Querétaro and Jalisco has forced the suspension of matches such as Querétaro vs. Juárez and the Clásico Femenil Chivas-América.
“Today you are 4 months away (from the World Cup) and one of the venues is practically on fire, which is Guadalajara,” warned Ceballos, stressing that uncertainty about the upcoming matches continues to grow.
A career that matters: The voice of Los Jefes
This analysis does not come from just anyone.
The Los Jefes table combines the field experience of multi-champion Carlos Hermosillo, the tactical shrewdness of Juan Carlos Gabriel de Anda, the informative passion of Fernando Ceballos and the media leadership of Álvaro Morales, consolidating itself as the most honest and “unfiltered” debate space in the American Union and Mexico.
