When I mentioned that we played Mexico in a friendly today at lunch at a vegetarian club I run for students at Canterbury University, Mexican student Adrian (whose family have immigrated here) said that his cousin (son of his mother's sister) Gabriel Martinez played.

Small world.

Adrian is from Guadalajara and his cousin Gabriel is in the reserve/youth side at Chivas.

New Phoenix recruit Ulises Davila is also from Guadalajara and started his career at Chivas.

Small world indeed. Considering popn of Mexico is around 130 Million, you would get long odds on that happening!

A proper 1st cousin too. In the Latino world a 'cousin' can often be a 3rd cuzzie or greater distant relative.

Know very little Mexico geography - but I'm pretty sure the Guadalajara region features heavily in Netflix's "Narcos Mexico".
