The article from El Financiero explores Mexico's preparations and challenges as the country gears up for the World Cup. It highlights the economic and social issues facing the nation, using the metaphor of being 'dismembered' to describe the fragmentation of societal issues that complicate national unity. Political and economic instability, crime, and social divides are discussed as significant factors affecting the country’s readiness for the event.

The piece emphasizes the importance of the World Cup not just as a sporting event but also as a potential opportunity for Mexico to present itself positively on the world stage. It reflects on the economic boost that major sporting events can provide, particularly in terms of tourism and international perception, suggesting that a successful World Cup could rally national pride and perhaps mend some of the societal fractures, at least temporarily.

However, the article also poses questions about the sustainability of this unity and enthusiasm in light of ongoing challenges. It brings to attention the need for a concerted effort not just from sports organizations but also from government and civil society to ensure that the momentum generated during the tournament could lead to lasting improvements for the country, beyond the spotlight of global attention during the World Cup.
