In Mexico, the team is strong and happy. But fans have a problem. Tickets cost too much money. Poor people cannot buy them. Many fans watch the games in the street instead.

在墨西哥，球隊實力強勁且士氣高昂。但球迷遇到了一個問題，門票價格太高，貧困人口買不起。因此，許多球迷選擇在街道上觀看比賽。

Some old players like Messi and Ronaldo still play. Some people say they are too old now. Also, some players cannot travel to the USA because of visa rules.

一些老將如梅西和羅納爾多依然在參賽。有些人認為他們現在太老了。此外，部分球員因為簽證規定而無法前往美國。
