After criticizing the Mexican National Team and questioning their ability to continue advancing in the following stages of the 2026 World Cup, streamer Ibai Llanos praised El Tri for their victory against the Ecuadorian team. What did he say about Mexico?
The streamer and content creator joined in the celebrations for Mexico’s 2-0 victory against Ecuador, noting that they are a “great team” and that they have a chance to win the World Cup.
“A thrashing, what an exhibition, what a great team Mexico is. Good God! The beating Mexico gave Ecuador,” he noted. “I thought Ecuador would win because I had trusted them a lot before the World Cup. I thought they were one of the best South American teams and they had gone on a 17-game unbeaten streak,” pointed out the creator of La Velada del Año.
After criticizing the team, Ibai even compared Javier Aguirre's squad to France, which also advanced to the round of 16 this Tuesday against Sweden, finishing the match 3-0.

“Mexico has shown that right now it is the best team in the World Cup along with France. Better than Spain, better than Brazil. What Mexico is doing is absolutely crazy,” he affirmed.
And he added regarding his predictions about them reaching the final: “Have we gone completely crazy, or can Mexico be world champion? England, be careful. I would be absolutely terrified.”
In context, Ibai recently used his live stream to criticize the Tricolor and their ability to beat Ecuador in the round of 16. As he said, Ecuador had a better squad than Mexico and therefore he declared his support for them, even if his Mexican fans might cancel him.
“Even if it goes against my economic interests and my viewership, I’m going with Ecuador. I see the match as even, and I’m going with Ecuador. They have a better team than Mexico. I have the feeling that is the case,” he noted.
After his comments went viral, Mexicans called for Ibai to be canceled for meddling with the Mexican National Team and criticizing their soccer. In a matter of minutes, users bombarded the internet with calls to cancel the streamer, including the phrase: “What if we unfollow Ibai?”

In the same analysis he made about the Mexican National Team’s victory, Llanos spoke about Gilberto Mora, “Morita,” the 17-year-old player who is making history in his debut with El Tri in this 2026 Cup.
The streamer recognized the young Mexican's skills and his prowess in the match against Ecuador, and asked Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, to sign him immediately.
“What Gil Mora is doing is a real show. This kid, I don’t know where he came from, but I’m clear on one thing: he is excellent. Tito Floren, look at him, please,” he pointed out.
