๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ข Guillermo Ochoa: "The Mexico national team has always been my compass, my direction in my career, in my life. I can't imagine my career without the national team. I don't know what my career would be like without Mexico. Now my time with the national team is coming to an end, I don't see much more meaning in football. I don't see the point in keeping on playing. So... I've enjoyed every moment here. I gave it my all." (FIFA)
Guillermo Ochoa has been in the Mexico squad for six FIFA World Cup's: 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026. His longevity is totally inspirational. 40-years-old.
Once the World Cup is over, Ochoa will retire... โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐

Referees also have pink jerseys.
Whatโs the origin of refereesโ pink like the one seen yesterday in the Uruguay vs Saudi game?
Theyโre paying homage to Miami. The pink flamingos and the cityโs pink sunset.
Lots of thinking going into designs.
Have you noticed the bright pink cleats taking over the 2026 World Cup?
From Nike to Adidas, every major brand is pushing the trend.
