With most of the Tricolores’ stars back in Mexico, a […]

Former U.S. national team coach Bora Milutinovic’s second game back at the helm of the Mexican national team resulted in one of his biggest defeats.

The pressure is mounting on Mexican national team coach Bora Milutinovic. After a string of lackluster performances, Milutinovic recalled several veterans, including MLS-bound Jorge Campos, for Mexico’s friendly against Slovenia’s under-23 team Dec. 6 in Hermosillo. Unfortunately, with a strengthened squad, Mexico fell 2-1 before 20,000 stunned fans. Besides Campos, who started in goal, Milutinovic […]
