Trump launches trade investigation against Mexico and other partners

The Machine roars again

The excitement is not just for the fans. Christian “Chaco” Giménez confirms it: Cruz Azul regained its hunger and balance right at the key moment. After the departure of Nicolás Larcamón, the team found clarity under the command of Joel Huiqui.

“Now Joel has come to inject a little more order and calm; he changed some players in their position and I see it well,” said Giménez after the 2-3 victory over Atlas in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

Order that pays

Although the advantage is minimal, the historic midfielder is confident that the tactical order shown at the Jalisco Stadium will be enough to close the job at home. He highlighted that the team knows how to respond under pressure and maintains a defensive balance that it did not have before.

This is not luck. It’s work. It is the discipline that gives you confidence when the game goes uphill.

Dad’s pride

And speaking of discipline, Chaco also referred to his son, Santiago Giménez. He still doesn’t know if he will be on the final roster for the 2026 World Cup, but he sees him moving forward. The forward adds minutes after his injury and the most important thing is that he plays without pain.

“The intention is, first, that he be called up, and then we will see. The most important thing is that the injury is painless and he is adding more and more minutes,” he emphasized.

This is how you build a career: step by step, without shortcuts. As in sport, as in life.

When the pocket is not enough, the imagination flies

The 2026 World Cup fever is already here. The Panini album, with its 48 selections, promises to be the object of desire of children and adults. But let’s face it, not everyone can afford that investment. Especially the little ones, who see the little cards as an unattainable treasure.

Then this kid, user @creativo_huggy01 on TikTok, arrives and gives us a lesson in ingenuity. With a couple of sheets of paper and colored pencils, he began to draw his own album. Like that, without further ado.

“The cover has the World Cup and a colorful pattern, just like Panini’s design,” he explains in the video that already has more than a million views.

On the back, the little one has already placed a space for the Mexican team, with numbered boxes for the prints. And it promises to include all the other selections, each with space for two special stickers. He even made a prototype of an envelope, with the colors of the cover.

Tenderness was unleashed on networks. The users offered to cooperate so that the boy bought the real album. But the best: the official Panini Mexico account commented on the video, saying that they were interested in sending him a special kit.

This is pure real-life political theater: when the system doesn’t work for you, you invent your own play. And this child, without knowing it, reminded us that creativity is priceless. Although, hopefully, solidarity does have a reward.

Lights and shadows of Plan Mexico

Coparmex gave a but to Plan México. Yes, they applaud the simplification of procedures and the single window for foreign trade, but they point out points that could be dynamite.

“The incorporation of Prodecon into the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Government could generate risks for its proper functioning,” warns the employers’ union.

And, according to them, Prodecon needs total independence to be a true counterweight. They don’t want him to become a puppet.

Judges, security and the great absence

Another red light: the election of judges. Coparmex asks to postpone it until 2028 to avoid “improvisation or biases.” Does it sound familiar to you?

But the real black hole of the plan, according to them, is the lack of a security strategy. They say it clearly:

“Guaranteeing security, justice and peace is not an accessory element, but an essential condition for productive activity.”

The problem of the three levels

Here comes the juicy part: municipal procedures are the nightmare of companies. 36.2% reported problems there. And without coordination between the federation, states and municipalities, this does not work.

Relationship with the United States: be careful with the noise

Coparmex asks for prudence in dealing with the northern neighbor. A very political management, they say, could “put economic stability at risk.”

In summary: Plan Mexico has good intentions, but if these details are not refined, trust remains in the pipeline. And without trust, there is no investment.
