Pero hermano a María nadie le dió una oportunidad en EEUU, ella tuvo que viajar a las visorias que estaba haciendo México en California para poder realizar sus sueños de ser futbolista profesional 🤷. Yo no lo llamaría exactamente "sueños americano", pero igual te deseo la mejor de las suertes desde México para que alcances tus metas.

They said 28 year old. She ain’t young anymore 😂

No one cares😂

​@@cursedriddlerI car just because she is Mexican if she was white I wouldn't care

More people are watching? I doubt it. But if 1 million were watching and a few more people watch it because they want to see some legs, well yeah more people are watching. However, she's being given that contract not because she's worth watching but to make it look like women football is worth watching. She's over valued.

@@krooge111 t Some networks have actually taken interest in broadcasting women’s soccer in their platforms, which proves more people are watching the sport. There is no doubt the sport is not getting large ratings when compared to other sports. However, there is a growing interest. How far will that growth go? Nobody knows yet.

Women who like sports will watch. With the increase in talent and more competitive games, more people, including men who like sports, will watch. It's obvious that there is a growing interest in women's sports, as we see more female athletes get endorsement deals and name recognition that is based on their talent instead of their physical appeal to men.

@@krooge111 “legs”? What? Just stop projecting.

María represents her Mexican roots

@@mau7359 dijiste lo mismo lol

@@edzzz5043 Dije algo similar pero no lo mismo 😅, raíces y cultura pueden ser cosas diferentes dependiendo del contexto. Dices que María es americana lo cual es verdad, pero solo como dato: Es curioso porque ella siempre se identifica a sí misma como mexicana, nunca la he escuchado decirse así misma americana 🤷, ni siquiera se llama así misma méxico americana como muchos se identifican 🤷. ✌️

@mau7359 no estan Mexicana para mudarse a mexico y vivir hay. Es mas, el Español de ella tiene muchos dialectos latino Americano.. muchos dicen tener orgullo pero no dejaran Estados Unidos por su Segunda patria.. lo que la hace, Americana!! Gracias

​@@edzzz5043 Osea que para ser mexicano hay que vivir en México? 👉🤡👈. Guillermo del Toro, Salma Hayek, Eiza González, Melissa Barrera etc. No son mexicanos porque no viven en México? Que argumento más infantil el tuyo 🫵🤣, además María juega en la NWSL como va a vivir en México? Piensa un poco. Además su español tiene dialectos de Latinoamérica? Lo que en realidad quisiste decir es que su español es NEUTRO, eso no es raro, habemos muchos latinoamericanos que tenemos español NEUTRO, así nos educan al hablar, sin modismos. Por último en el caso de María México no es su "segunda patria" ni la primera, México para ella es "su madre patria" ya que en México está su origen étnico y cultural, así como para México la "madre patria" es España. Las clases que te doy son gratis amigo ✌️👉🤡

That's funny 😂

She plays for the Mexico International team for starters

It seems so wrong that she signed a big deal and then wanted to flee elsewhere.

Well obviously more duh. But she isn’t aitana…

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha....sure!

Well I that's true then they should allow trans athletes to compete in women football.

Wishful thinking

@@daconnoisseurrex1752 Mix doubles in tennis was first introduce in the Olympics in 1996.

And? A lot of it is political. Maybe she was not offered to play for the U.S or offer to be benched. Lots of players with dual citizenships choose based on where they feel they can maximize their potential. Once you play for one side, it’s hard to switch even if you want to. I heard Zlatan wanted to play for Bosnia first, they didn’t offer him what he wanted and they were quite arrogant. He was not the star he would later become. So he chose Sweden who gave him more.

​@@bosnianlady10 María herself said that she grew up watching the Mexican team on television with her dad in Idaho. From there, her desire to play for the Mexican team since she was a child was born. If María had wanted, she could have changed her team. Sofía Huerta first played for the Mexican team and then transferred to the United States team.

@@mau7359 ok that’s fine. I don’t know her story, I was just giving a possible reason. Still there might be aspects that she doesn’t admit publicly. That fine too. But I do not it is not just that easy to switch teams. It has to be approved. Lots of players have dual citizenship and if they don’t want to allow too much switching. New updates make it easier but there is a criteria. In particular, FIFA has added three new exceptions whereby a player may change the national team they play for. First, it is now possible for a player to change national team even if they have played competitively at senior level, provided: the player held the nationality of their new association at the time of their first official appearance for their first national team. the player played in no more than three competitive senior games before the age of 21. the player has not played in the final stage of an official tournament such as the World Cup, European Championship, Copa America etc. at least three years have passed since the player's last senior appearance for their previous national team.

​@@bosnianlady10 It's funny because María did meet the requirements to change her selection, but she still didn't change. María would have her own reasons why she stayed with Mexico, but I think it is because thanks to Mexico she was able to become a professional player. On the other hand, it is not unusual for a Mexican-American to prefer playing with Mexico rather than with the United States. When the Mexican team plays in the United States, the stadiums are filled with Mexican-Americans supporting Mexico. By the way, I didn't know the information about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, what Bosnia missed

l love seeing PEOPLE prosper

What are you saying!? speak english

@@user-fi2xt1yz5wi think he says a female player gets 1.5 million, while a male player get 400 million contract.

Economics at play

the nwsl isnt owned by the mls what are you on about? the nwsl is controlled by the us federation..

@@DannyCosmos he’s insecure so has to be a hater to feel better

same guy who is on assistance lol

Not it's not, nwsl is top 3 league in the world for women's soccer

Hahahahahaha.... Yeah right!!! Y no mames!!

@@El_Chaquetas it's a fact not an opinion 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Liga MX femenil is not at the level nwsl is at 🤣. All the best players come out of nwsl.

only someone who has no idea what they're talking about laughs like a fool 👉🤡 The majority of the players on the Mexican national team are born and educated in Mexico. Even the Mexican American players who play for the Mexican national team have trained professionally in Mexico, they have never played in the United States professionally. María Sánchez has said in interviews that she never tried to join the United States team How could Maria be rejected when she never tried to join the United States team?

@@mau7359 bro most of the team was born in the u.s and they dont even speak spanish.. not all fine. but lots. just saying..

maria and ordonez are mexicos top players right now. BUT, give it a few more years and that wont be the case. The mexican women are getting better faster. With that said, sanchez is good enough to make the USA team. I still think she has alot to improve on, she is not as good as she should be.

​@@DannyCosmos I insist you are wrong, the majority of the players who are part of the Mexican team were born in Mexico

The day will come that the mens team will be made up of people from North of the border.

I do believe they have to pay her, something about NWSL holds all the contracts, so yeah Wave does have to pay it. Is she overrated, absolutely, who ever signed that contract is smoking. I would say she is a star for usa and mexico fans, so It does make sense for her to get paid more. I do also think she was a DUD for Houston, she definetly went from being the star player, to being a ghost on the field...
