Mexican teams have not won the Leagues Cup for fear of retaliation from Trump.

Although it has not been confirmed (nor can it ever be confirmed), the FMF itself has reportedly issued an unwritten directive for no Mexican club to advance beyond the semifinals, "so as not to anger the man with the orange topknot," as a final between Mexican teams could infuriate him.
" If we win, they might not renew my visa, which expires in November. Do you think we're going to risk the shopping mall in Houston for a disreputable cup? " added a Toluca defender.

"It's a diplomatic decision. You have to understand that a thrashing of Inter Miami could be considered an act of war," emphasized an Atlas forward while checking the cost of an express US visa.
