The Mexican National Team finished its first three commitments of the Octagonal Final of the qualifying rounds towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup with a loot of seven points, the product of victories against Jamaica and Costa Rica and a close draw against Panama.
Despite leading the classification, the team led by Gerardo Martino did not show their best level on the pitch, causing discontent in hundreds of “Tri” fans who retaliated their fury by creating funny memes.
The first white Among the fierce creations of the users was the defender of America, Jorge Sánchez, who failed in Jamaica’s partial draw against Mexico. For the game against Costa Rica, the memes were directed towards the forward of Rayados, Rogelio Funes Mori, who does not go through a great moment.
Now, at the Rommel Fernández Stadium, the one who unleashed the cascade of memes and criticism was the goalkeeper of America, Guillermo Ochoa. The World Cup goalkeeper began the match against Panama with a solid save that prevented the first goal cry of the game, but about half an hour into the game, he committed a tremendous blunder that was not forgiven by the fans.
After a low center, Ochoa spat the ball leaving him at the mercy of Panamanian striker Rolando Blackburn who simply pushed the ball into the back of the net to put the local team ahead.
“Butter hands”, “guangas hands”, “coladera“Were just some of the” sweethearts “that Twitter users dedicated to Ochoa while others branded the four-time World Cup player as the” most inflated goalkeeper in Mexican football. “
Other users, the most critical, also accused the Aztec defense for the goal allowed against Panama without neglecting the error of the goalkeeper of America.
“That lack of seriousness on the part of Ochoa and the central line, it seems that they are playing a friendly that disgusts”, wrote one fan while another forgot good manners and went straight to the jugular of the American goalkeeper.
The traditional trunk meme with Ochoa’s face was not lacking, as well as the comparison with Jorge Campos, considered the best goalkeeper from Mexico.
After the draw against Panama, Ochoa justified his action arguing that “they are one of those difficult plays for the goalkeeper because you cannot remove your hand.”
“The next play is accidental part of the game and nothing happens,” explained the Mexican goalkeeper in a statement collected by TUDN.
