Berterame: The best Mexican striker ahead of the 2026 World Cup

T here is little time left for Mexico 's participation in the World Cup and there are many doubts about the starting forward line that should start the tournament. Well, actually about all the positions on the field.

But there is a special emphasis on the attack because there are no goals. This lack of goals could be solved by German Berterame, the best Mexican striker in 2025.

Berterame, the Mexican national team and the controversy with naturalized players

From fans to sports communicators and journalists, opinions on their participation with Mexico range from a mildly nationalist stance to xenophobic comments.

Berterame is enjoying a good moment as a player. The current situation of Mexican soccer also opens the door to his call-up, because there are not many talents of national origin in his position and who register the same numbers as him.

The weight of the precedent with Guillermo Franco and Rogelio Funes Mori

For some fans, the option of Berterame would be the repetition of an unlearned mistake. In South Africa 2010, Javier Aguirre believed in Guillermo Franco to be the goal factor and the results were not as expected.
