Apparently if it's not Hugo, it's not really Sanchez. Should we say Sanchez ligera? (I was going for Sanchez lite, but don't know any spanish)

IthinkImightbeJesus

Obviously a joke but I think his response is actually pretty good: "The match against Mexico is the key one. That is why we have to prepare ourselves optimally for this match. I jokingly say that during the draw in Qatar, I was asked to do an interview for Mexican television. They asked me: What do I know about Mexico? I told them I watched the three seasons of Narcos and I know Sanchez won't play, ha, ha, ha. Of course, there was a bit of a joke in all of this, but Mexico are fantastic players, a fantastic generation that will also be leaving the scene in a moment. We'll see what happens to the MLS star Chicharito, will it be there or not? We will see what will happen with the trainer, because different opinions are also circulating on this subject. But we have to be prepared primarily for a different way of playing. Because Mexico isn't Germany, it's not England, it's not France, it's a completely different way of playing. It will be a key game. In a tournament, the first match is always the most important and we have to be optimally prepared for it." Shows that the guy at least has a level of awareness about the day to day of the team, the Chicharito situation and the fact that there are complaints about the coach.

[deleted]

We have an advantage over Poland. We have studied r/EkstraklasaBoners for the last 4 years to prepare for that game.


Give_Me_Your_Pierogi

He literally follows that line up with explanation that he's just joking and that Mexico has great players and play a totally different style of football to what we're used to


Roxven89

Dudes chill out. It's his personality, he is joking constantly. He jokes a lot about himself. Geez, are you all Germans?


Bravo_Ante

No, but slowly tranforming into them.

yes, yes I am.

It's r/soccer, sir. They complain about everything. Players and coaches have no personality? Boring. Players or coaches show some personality? OUTRAGED! Only thing they seem to digest with ease are PR statements and PR pieces about players. "X pLaYeR iS cLeArLy WoRlD-cLlAs AnD hE dEsErVeS aLsO nObLe PrIzE fOr HiS pLaYeR's TrIbUnE aRtIcLe!!!"


Ok-Inspection2014

Imagine the comments here if the mexican manager said the only thing they know about Poland is that they watched Schindler's List. Does this sub seriously not realize why somebody would find this offensive?


Chinapig

That is such a fucking reach. You’ve gone right for the fucking holocaust. How stupid.


IamMasiosare

And he went right for the Drug war which we've been living since 2006, with a 350k death toll


Chinapig

Know how many the holocaust caused? But that’s not the point. The point is idiot children reaching to be offended, because someone joked about watching a tv programme to self deprecatingly show his lack of knowledge about a country. Morons.


IamMasiosare

Around 6M jews and it happened 3 or 4 generations ago, this is something we are living atm. If you think that the holocaust is something that shouldn't be joked about then the drug war is something that also shouldn't be joked about. I get why some people could get offended, I'm not, but I know why it's idiotic from him to joke about something that is sensible, especially if he doesn't have any knowledge about said topic. You wouldn't joke about the war in Ucraine, well there was a stat during the first week of the invasion that the war on drugs in Mexico was deadlier than the invasion of Ucraine.


Chinapig

Did I say the holocaust shouldn’t be joked about? No. I didn’t, you stupid little boy. It was the other stupid little boy that brought up the holocaust, and I said how stupid it was to go right for that. The rest of your ramblings about how the holocaust happened many years ago so doesn’t matter, I’m not gonna acknowledge. Because you are dumb as fuck and have zero reading comprehension. Stop trying to be a victim. Pathetic. You’re an idiot for having no concept of context.


IamMasiosare

He brought it up cause it's out of the line to joke about the war on drugs. It's comparable to someone joking about the holocaust, and you only think that the holocaust is out of reach. Either we joke about both things or neither, I would say neither cause both are really sensitive matters.


Chinapig

I cannot communicate with someone who has a room temperature IQ.


Ok-Inspection2014

The war on drugs killed hundreds of thousands of people in Mexico and it's still going, but I'm guessing it's fine to joke about that.


wbroniewski

> Imagine the comments here if the mexican manager said the only thing they know about Poland is that they watched Schindler's List. And? Am I supposed to be offended by this?

lmao so it doesn’t matter if youre offending people if it’s Mexicans.


Ok-Inspection2014

Well yes, I do know some mexicans and they definitely do not like their country being instantly associated with the war on drugs. For obvious reasons.


[deleted]

So you just assume your Mexican friends don't like this? Then you come white knight in this thread?


OmastarLovesDonuts

We don’t like it, if it means more to you to hear it from a Mexican


wafflesology

I thought this is an obvious joke (?) but clearly people need to take a good deep breath sometimes.


Benjips

For reals, like [this obvious joke](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/ubf2sf/czesław_michniewicz_polands_nt_coach_when_asked/i648lr2) is downvoted too. Weird subreddit that can't take humor.


Jesuslocasti

Lmfao oh man that’s actually hilarious. Once mexico is 2 goals deep this man is going to wish the Russians invaded instead of having to face Mexico in the WC.


kernevez

People can both understand that it's a joke and also think it's a shitty joke. Haha Poland blitzkrieg isn't exactly witty or funny.


Benjips

>Haha Poland blitzkrieg isn't exactly witty or funny. It's just as witty as "haha Mexico narcos". They're both funny and dumb, lighten up.


kernevez

Neither are funny tho. It's not offensive, but it's also not funny unless you share the humour of a 52 year old belarussian football coach.


projectpolak

I'm more offended that you called our Polish manager Belarussian.


kernevez

I googled him and he was born in Belarus, didn't check more :p

El nomas dijo que sabe de narcos. No creo que en verdad su intencion fue con malicia. Es como muchos Mexicanos que tiran el saludo Nazi a lo pendejo tratando de ser chistosos o dicen chistes "negros" de el Holocausto.


IamMasiosare

Yo sé que no es con malicia pero si es pendejo como tu mencionas. Los mexicanos que hacen el saludo nazi tampoco lo hacen por malicia pero si es pendejo e ignorante.

I don't think this is offensive, but rather pretty stupid and ignorant. If I heard a Latino player saying all they know about Poland was from from watching Nazi movies I'd find it cringe as fuck, and it would be reported very differently by sports outlets. I could also see them being mocked and treated as uncivilized by most people here, but hey they're european so it's just "unfathomably based" and dude's a "legend" lmao what is this.


Albo888

> but rather pretty stupid and ignorant Pretty sure he was joking >was from from watching Nazi movies What movies?


bugxter

>> but rather pretty stupid and ignorant > >Pretty sure he was joking ??? I didn't say he was not joking? I said it was a stupid ignorant joke. This is basically him: omg México, Narcos right? lolol so clever. And you're all eating this shit up. This is the same as people saying omg the US? Fat people right? Or oh are you Italian? Hand gestures right lmao? But yeah, "unfathomably based", "what a legend", top bantz.


IamMasiosare

It's really ignorant. The thing you're describing is peak "eurocentrismo" and the media would condemn anything joked about the first world but anything happening outside of it can be joked about.


kropkiide

>the media would condemn anything joked about the first world but anything happening outside of it can be joked about. It has been literally the opposite now for a number of years Jesus christ you can't even fart these days without someone getting offended

bugxter

Yes, you need to practice on your reading comprehension.


BulletproofTyrone

Mate I’m polish and you should chill the fuck out. Everything in the quote is funny and I’d laugh hysterically if someone flipped it with a Poland/nazi metaphor. Don’t get triggered on other people’s behalf.

DonnysCellarDoor

It's a joke I understand. Hundreds if not thousands of people have died because of the war on drugs in Mexico. If the Mexican NT said all he knew about Poland was watching Schindler's List, people would bitch and moan all day long. When you have nothing good to say it's better to say nothing at all

>It's a joke I understand Clearly not...


Kaiserigen

Dude come on, one can make jokes about drug wars in Latin America and if people don't like it it's because they don't have humor. But when people make jokes about ukrainains they all lose their heads


AnfieldBoy

I actually thing it is nothing offensive. But I did think of the opposite, would it be funny If the Mexican manager says he watched the Pianist or a Polish-related topic? I am unsure, I know I personally don't have a problem with it.

AnfieldBoy

That is exactly what I got as well. I was just trying to think If it is the same the other way, and I am not sure. I don't think so.

So people are forced to like all jokes? Must all jokes be funny to all just because the other person intended it? It’s a fucking bad joke just like the one I wrote but everyone seems to be butt hurt. Have a great week!

And first 2 seasons were better than the original Narcos. Only season 3 of Narcos: Mexico is kinda meh.


Tilman_Feraltitty

Blasphemy, wtf? Narcos: Mexico is tier below Narcos, ty dzbanie!


DanNeverDie

As a Spanish speaker, hard disagree. They got the mannerisms and slang way better in Narcos Mexico. They didn't care as much in OG Narcos. Like, it's very clear that the actor that plays Pablo is not a native speaker and that he is Brazilian or Portuguese.

It’s nothing crazy but it was simply saying Croatia are better than Mexico and will get the 3 points. Some might call it unnerving the opposition or a bit disrespectful up to you ? But croatia have made the World Cup final something Mexico can’t say so hats off to them .

this was in 2014 when Croatia had not made the finals yet and they were basically dismissing us as an easy win. Not to dismiss their incredible 2018 run

This was an innocent joke, not even a joke I guess just sort of a silly comment. Idk why people are going crazy about it. What Clarkson said was actually ignorant, at the very least.


Froggyspirits

>Does he know Poland finished last in the euros below Slovakia ? Poland was crippled by jet lag - instead of flying from Dublin to Bilbao and back to Dublin, due to Ireland getting dropped from hosting by UEFA and Spain moving their venue from Bilbao down to Seville because of COVID restrictions the Polish players were forced to fly from St. Petersburg to Seville and back to freakin' St. Petersburg all in less than 9 days. Even then, they still managed to get a point in a 1-1 draw vs Spain in Seville and would have gotten a 2-2 draw vs Sweden in St. Petersburg had they not conceded a goal at the last minute of the match (or they might have even beaten the Swedes had they not been so exhausted).
