 Vicente Matias Vuoso

Vicente Matias Vuoso was a Mexican Argentinian soccer player known for being intense in the soccer field. Vuoso played for Santos Laguna in the top Mexican League. Vuoso would astound by not being a cherry picking forward and instead fighting for the soccer ball by moving down to midfield. Vuoso recovered balls from the midfield and would also run back to score goals. He was active in generating goal scoring opportunies by defending. 

While it is common to see cherry picking forwards, Vuoso was a rarity recovering and distributing the ball. Vuoso was skillful at handling the ball and scoring headers. This distinction caused him to be the top goal scorer in multiple seasons. He won a Championship with Santos Laguna in the 2000s after classifying the team to playoffs consistently.

Vuoso would be contracted with Club America where the team decided to bench him after two games despite having been the top goal scoring forward. A decision like that can only be explained by envy or racism. Darwin Quintero also was benched while being a great forward/midfielder in Club America. (There are theories that state that Club America likes to contract top players from other teams only to bench them so that they are not competition to Club America. Despite these "strategies" there have been teams that have won more championships in less amount of time like Santos Laguna and Toluca. At one point, Club America owned Queretaro in the 2000s (in the 2010s, Queretaro became independant), San Luis, and Necaxa and had 9 free points, yet finished the season second to last. Club America also contracts players that had great seasons because of the coffers from Televisa. They have also won multiple championships after covid.)

Vuoso returned to Santos Laguna and had amazing seasons scoring multiple goals. Vuoso would be selected to be a member of the Mexican National Team in the 2000s. Vuoso along with Antonio Naelson Zinha were selected for the Mexican National Team in the 2000s. The Mexican National Team was not going to classify to a World Cup, and after Vuoso and Zinha were selected, Vuoso scored the last minute header to classify Mexico. (Televisa commentators instead of being elated that Mexico classified, stated that Vuoso was not needed and was not Mexican. Racists described that even Mexicans can be racist and envious. Vuoso helped classify Mexico to the World Cup, and yet they envied the player that classified the team. Well Vuoso did sweat the shirt and scored the game winning goal so he is Mexican (and also Argentinian). Vuoso was amazing and described how even after scoring the classifying goal, there are still going to be haters and enviers who maybe racists.
