As the Copa América dispute in the United States approaches, each of the countries involved in the continental tournament centralizes the comments of their sports programs in the sports event, and in one of them, Mexico, a Chilean was the protagonist of a brutal mockery of an Aztec commentator who ignored La Roja.
And according to the already known draw for the national team championship, which pits the first and second from groups A and B against each other in the quarterfinals of the tournament, Fox Sports journalist Rubén Rodríguez pointed to Mexico’s options in case of facing the Argentine team or the national representative in the knockout phase.
Fabián Estay’s ironic response
“I think (Mexico) will do well, and for me that would be going to the next round (…) believing that we are at the level of Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay is a very serious mistake and that can weigh. “But I think Mexico will advance to the next phase with aspirations of reaching the semifinals,” Rodríguez speculated, just as eight years ago (2016) the Mexican media anticipated in their frustrated experience in the Copa América Centenario, also played in the United States, where they were eliminated with a historic 7-0 win by Chile, in the end, the champion of said tournament (beat Argentina in a penalty shootout).
“Then you can probably meet Argentina, or some team (…) the match will be fundamental to know if you reach the semifinals or not. There are teams that are better armed, better directed, better organized, and with more talent, that must be said,” Indian.
“The crossing is going to be fundamental, if you come in second place in your group, I automatically assure you that you will be matched with Argentina. If you come first in your group, you can have Peru, Chile or Canada as a rival, which I think is not the same as facing Argentina in the next round. So, Peru is not up to par, it is not a favorite; “Chile less, and Canada don’t even talk to me,” the Mexican sports expert stated without breaking a sweat.
But we are talking about the possible crossing between Mexico and Chile! We made seven of them in the last game!
— Fabian Estay
It was at that moment that the former Chilean soccer player spoke, and with a provocative gesture with his two hands, to remind him of the 7-0 of the last Copa América, he made the Aztec communicator explode with rage.
“This guy still talking about the past! I mean, just look at how he fills his mouth with that seven, instead of showing off the two Americas Cups, which is something much bigger. Win two titles, and you talk to me about Chile, about 7-0, oh, “ claimed Rodríguez, who was met with a harsh response from Estay, who pointed out: “But we are talking about the possible crossing between Mexico and Chile! We made seven of them in the last official match!”
Absolutely shocked by the unexpected response of his Chilean panel partner on the Fox Sports sports program (“The Last Word”), Rodríguez wanted to lower the profile of the historic Cup win, ensuring that Chileans and Mexicans had already played after that match “There was another official, the 3-3″ (LoR: 2-2, on December 9, 2021, at the Q2 Stadium, in Texas), which was worse for the journalist due to the new national mockery.
“Seven officer! The other was a friendly match, and those are not worth it. “We test people,” closed Estay.
