Javier Hernández
Javier Hernández Balcázar, commonly known as Chicharito, is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward for Mexican club Chivas Guadalajara. He previously spent years lighting up Europe with powerhouse clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid. The prolific striker also holds the impressive... read more
This guy is the best. He scores goals for Mexico in every game. Why is he at the bottom? He has scored 39 goals in just 24 international matches he's played. He deserves to be number one.
I think he should be number one because he has 44 goals, more than anyone except Jared Borgetti. He is the first Mexican to play in both England and Germany! He has inspired many people and is always the best player on his team.
He went straight to the top. He didn't have to wait to prove himself like Hugo. He just got the opportunity he deserves! Amazing intuition, great speed, and humble!

Giovani dos Santos
Giovani "Gio" dos Santos Ramírez is a Mexican professional footballer. He plays for the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer and the Mexico national team. Dos Santos is known for his creativity, technical skill, and international experience, including appearances in multiple World Cups.
Yes, I think he should be #2. He's my favorite player, very skillful with amazing shooting. This boy still has a long career ahead of him. He creates plays, assists, and scores goals. He is a team player, always wanting to get better, and he has amazing dribbling skills. I thought his best goal was in the 2011 Gold Cup final against the USA. That was a real beauty. He never gives up. He's the player willing to do anything for his team.
Dos Santos is better than Chicharito. It's just that people like Chicharito more because of his attitude. He is a girl magnet and gives good speeches, not because of his skill. When it comes to skill, it would be Dos Santos. Also, Hernández (Chicharito) isn't even in the top 10 Mexican soccer players in terms of skill. I did some research, and it seems like Dos Santos has a better power ranking. He also played for Barcelona for two years, one year on the bench and one on the field. Chicharito just sits on the bench a lot and only plays for 10-15 minutes at the end.

Andres Guardado
This guy is Mexico's best. These rankings must be outdated. There's no way Gio is number one, just no way.
He always plays with his heart, and that's what it takes to be the best player ever!
He is a great midfielder. He scored a beautiful goal against Jamaica in the final.
-
Carlos Vela
He has a bad game, and people criticize him. This is probably why he doesn't like playing for Mexico. The fans expect too much from one player. He is the best that Mexico has right now.
Carlos Vela is so underrated. Look at how well he did in his first season at Arsenal. Mexico needs to give this guy a chance.
Vela is the best. They are starting to compare him to Messi and Ronaldo and even Hugo Sanchez!
-
Rafael Márquez
He won everything in Europe and a Mexican league title. He just needs a World Cup to be better than Hugo Sanchez.
Don't forget he notched up a few free kicks back in his day.
The best. He should have been number one, and Javier should have been number two.
-
Luis Hernandez
He is Mexico's all-time leading goal scorer! He scored many impressive goals throughout many games. He should at least be in the top ten!
Luis Hernandez always played for the team and for the people!
-
Hugo Sanchez
Hugo Sánchez Márquez is a retired Mexican professional football player and manager. He was a prolific goalscorer known for his spectacular strikes and volleys. Sánchez is widely regarded as Mexico's greatest-ever footballer and one of the best players of his generation.
How can anyone compare Hugo Sanchez to someone like Chicharito, who can't keep the ball at his feet? Chicharito is good, and I am thankful that he has given Mexico some wins, but he can't compare for now. Hugo Sanchez is currently the best Mexican player.
I think he should be number one. He is a Mexican legend who played for both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, stinky Pumas, and the best team in Mexico, Club América.
Hugo never had an international team. Back in his time, Hugo was Mexico. Even so, he did what Chicharito couldn't: score in Real Madrid.

Cuauhtémoc Blanco
Sheer talent, vision, and skill. A true icon in the most winning team in Mexico, which is "coincidentally" the most hated, Club América. He was hated in Club América but loved when he played for Mexico. Hate me more.
One of the most skillful maestros in football history, he deserves to be in the top 10!

Chucky Lozano
Lozano's got a bright future ahead of him. His name will be in lights one day.

Omar Bravo

Raúl Gudiño

Hector Herrera

Raul Jimenez
He was a great player for Club América, especially his penalty against Cruz Azul in the final.
-
Guillermo Ochoa
Best goalkeeper I have seen so far!
Ochoa is the best goalkeeper the Mexican team has ever had.
Probably the best current player on Mexico's squad. It's amazing how overlooked keepers are.
-
Jared Borgetti
Better than Vela, he currently has the most goals for the Mexican national team, with Chicharito in second.
-
Oribe Peralta
He has scored very important goals, like the one against the USA!
-
Marco Fabian
-
Gerardo Torrado
You know, he may not score goals, but he was the one who set up the goals! He was the heart and soul of Mexico's team. He may be old now, but he was once a fantastic player.
-
Efraín Juárez
Great style of play. You can tell he really puts his heart into it.
He gives it his all every game and always makes an impact on the field.
-
José de Jesús Corona
Amazing goalkeeper. He's gained all the confidence in the world from his teams internationally, as well as clubs. Certainly one of the best Mexican goalkeepers.
He deserves to be the greatest goalkeeper in Mexico's history after winning the Olympics with incredible saves.
