[edit] Mexico managers
I have changed the "Notable managers" section and it no longer reads as such. Instead it is a list of Mexico's managers throughout the years. I gathered most of the data from the FEMEXFUT web-site, but obviously there are still a few gaps to be filled. Please feel free to add onto the list in order to make it as comprehensive as possible. .cosme. (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WP:FOOTY and WT:FOOTY
I would also like to encourage everyone to read the ongoing discussion at WP:FOOTY as well as WT:FOOTY. The issue I'd like to point to is regarding the role of "Notable Players" in Wikipedia articles. Though there are exceptions, such as a list based on quantifiable qualities, a list without justification might not be acceptable. So if you strongly believe that a player is notable in the history of the Mexican national football team, I encourage you to specify in the article's text the reasons for his notability. For now I'll leave the list as it is, but I plan on making substantial edits to it over time, just as I did to the "Notable managers" section which is now more of a list of managers through the years..cosme.

- On Player Notability: There are simply too many players on this list without justification for their notablility. If you think a player is truly notable in the course of the Mexican national football team's history, I encourage you to incorporate that player and his role and impact on the Mexican team in the main article. There's no need to include players that only had one or two caps with the senior squad, regardless of their club or managerial accomplishments at other times. There are better means to discuss a player's notability. There are quantifiable accomplishments that verify that individuals notability, such as caps, goals, minutes played, etc. .cosme.

[edit] Expand and Include Sections
I encourage everyone and anyone to add to this article! We need more history and more information on the major tournaments the team has participated in as well as changes to the structure of the team throughout the decades. Information on the kits, coaching changes, etc. would be great to have. My knowledge is limited, but I think that the changes I've made have gone toward improving the article greatly..cosme.

[edit] The Cachirules Affaire
Hello to all.
I desire to share with all this information for discussion.
In the program of ESPN in Spanish “Fútbol Picante” that abords the Mexican soccer in the edition of March 20,2008 they touched the subject of the Cachirules since it was in that day turned twenty years of the scandal. The program tells that in January 1988 FIFA it publishes in his official organ of diffusion "FIFA News" an order taken by the Executive Committee ordering to all the national federations that all the members of the national equipment that took part in all matches and competitions organized by FIFA verified with true documents that fulfilled the required ages to compete. After the Olympic Mexican national selection obtains his qualification to the Olympic Tournament of soccer of Seoul in Honduras, the journalist Antonio Moreno knowing the FIFA disposition makes a work of information where discovers that several members of the equipment fake their age declaring to the autorities in charge of the area of CONCACAF to organize the competition that had less years of age to be able to compete in the match that was verified, after publishing in the Mexican nationwide sport newspaper “Esto”, by the same CONCACAF´s autorities. The program also says that in June of 1988 in a special meeting of FIFA in its seat in Zurich, Switzerland the Executive Committee decided to suspend to Mexico by two years (from 1988 to 1990) prevailing to him of its classification to the Olympic match in favour to Guatemala that was the main idea but also preventing to participate him in the eliminatory tournaments of 1990 FIFA World Cup, 1989 FIFA u-21 World Cup in Saudi ArabiaBicko2008 (talk) 00:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
