was awarded the best young player of the tournament.
Youth Bellingham also mentioned there.
And disappointments, I think that Vinnie Jr. was, for me,
one of the disappointments of the tournament.
Neymar, with everything.
I mean, I knew Neymar was going to have a hard time shining
like the rest of them.
He comes from many years full of injuries.
Although he had some success with Santos
the last two tournaments,
and he was able to do heroics with them.
Also, he was not consistent.
Now, who are the players that you were hoping
to see more from?
I was, you know, honestly, Vinnie Jr.,
now that you say it, I was hoping to see Vinnie
play more with the team.
I think the reason they didn't get far as they should have
is because they kind of feed Vinnie the ball
and hope that he creates a goal or a cross,
and that didn't work out for them.
So Vinnie, unfortunately, didn't perform
how we all expected him to.
I can't think of any other players at the moment right now
who didn't perform as well as they should have.
Yeah, no, I don't know.
What about you, dude?
For me, there's a few players that I wish they did better.
I think, like, one of the ones, let's go to CONCACAF
because it's our region, and let's talk about the Latinos.
Panama had a hard time in this World Cup,
and I think one of the reasons was
because their main player,
CONCACAF player of the year, Carrasquilla,
also an important player of my Pumitas,
wasn't able to perform in the World Cup.
He was one of the players in CONCACAF
that I really wanted for them.
I feel like Luis Diaz from Colombia
also didn't have the opportunity to really,
you know, I was expecting so much from Colombia.
I thought that they had it.
Unfortunately, just like Mexico,
there's something that we're missing there
at the critical moment to just really turn around
the result in our favor.
Actually, for Mexico,
not that I didn't think that they played well,
but I wished we had seen more of Ormiga.
Gonzalez, I think, is a young player
that should have given an opportunity in that last game.
Also, Chavez, I think that versus England,
and we saw it with Argentina,
how they liberated Enzo playing behind
to have that long-distance shot,
and he worked because he was able to score.
I feel like if we had bring Chavez
into that game versus England,
we could have that long-distance option
that we didn't even exercise or try in that game.
