A Salvadoran friend claims Mexico is number one in America, with ten Gold Cup titles.
The episode begins with Julio expressing frustration about missing the Mexico vs USA Gold Cup final in Houston, Texas, due to circumstances he claims were out of his control. He describes watching the game at a friend's house with a barbecue and TV setup in the garage. During the viewing, a Salvadoran friend, Don Che, praises Mexico as the best team in the American continent and reveals Mexico has won the Gold Cup ten times. Julio and Marciano then engage in a humorous debate about the term 'bicampeón' and whether Mexico's back-to-back wins are significant. Julio questions if the Gold Cup is intentionally structured so that Mexico and the USA always meet in the final for financial reasons, comparing it to professional wrestling where outcomes might be coordinated. He notes that the USA competed with an alternative squad, missing stars like Christian Pulisic, and suggests this might be due to protests or other reasons. The host shares a striking comparison from Don Che: one Mexican player is valued at $50 million, while El Salvador's entire national team is worth only $5 million, highlighting investment disparities. Julio explains that the Gold Cup has a low competitive level, with most CONCACAF teams being semi-professional or from less competitive leagues, unlike tournaments like the Copa América or Eurocup. He reflects on the need for national pride, comparing Mexico's victory to a child's party organized at home when not invited to a popular one. The conversation shifts to promotional content, including updates on other podcasts like 'séptima hora' which covers true crime and paranormal topics. Julio mentions upcoming gaming content for YouTube and invites listeners to join a private group. He also promotes merchandise available in St. Louis and services for events like DJing. The episode ends with chaotic banter between Julio and Marciano as they sign off.
