This breaking development could damage the playing prospects of a couple of the Mexican players who've been making inroads at center forward for the national team. The only white center forward in the player pool, Josh Sargent, will either change positions or drift away into obscurity.
With the next World Cup tournament expanding in size yet again, the push is to get more African teams involved in the global sports consciousness.
