Following Mexico's defeat to England in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup and after having been one of the most notable stars of the tournament, Julián Quiñones spoke about Javier Aguirre's decisions regarding taking him out of that game.
Weeks after the national team's progress was cut short in the World Cup, Quiñones stated that the head coach made a mistake by taking him out of the game when Mexico was losing and was securing its elimination.
During a chat he had with a tattoo artist from Ink Mansion in Monterrey, the player was asked about what happened in the sports tournament, how he felt being Mexico's star, and what happened in the last game of the Mexican National Team.
He said that he felt excited to be the Mexican figure and regarding his exit from the match he noted: "Ah, yes, he screwed up [Javier Aguirre], the old man made a mistake with the substitutions."

It is worth remembering that Quiñones left the pitch in the 81st minute, when the coach took him out to put in Guillermo Martínez. This decision was harshly questioned by the Mexican fans since Quiñones had previously scored an important goal for Mexico and his plays were needed because El Tri was falling to Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane's England.
"Very excited to play with the Mexican National Team, there was a lot of chaos," noted the Al-Qadisiyah club footballer.
In the same video, Quiñones surprised his followers by tattooing the eyes of his wife, Ana Gabriela Quiñones, on his right arm. Internet users have said that he pulled a Christian Nodal when he tattooed the eyes of his then-fiancée Belinda. "The Belindazo," the tattoo artist comments.
Quiñones, ¿uno del Once Ideal del Mundial?
Quiñones' statements are going viral after FIFA considered him to be part of the 2026 World Cup Ideal XI following his notable participation and his four goals.
Through the FIFA website, a vote was opened to choose the best players of the tournament to form the Ideal XI with candidates such as Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, Enzo Fernández, Vozinha or Messi; of the Mexican National Team, only Quiñones has been considered.
