When an individual scores 3 goals in a game it is called a "hat trick". The term stems from Cricket, when in 1858, HH Stephenson took three straight wickets on three deliveries. A collection was taken in a hat and Stephenson was presented with what was collected. The term stuck and has been used in numerous other sports, including soccer (football).

Who was the best soccer player in Mexico?

I think the best soccer player for the Mexican soccer team is Giovani Dos Santos. He only wears the number ten shirt. Chicharito is real bad even though he might be in Manchester UTD. the goals he scores are goals where he is left 1-on-1 with the goalkeeper. The last game he has played with the national team against Bosnia Herzogovina he missed a penalty (which he hasen't ever scored one) and then he was going to kick it at goal but the defense from the other team kicked the ball in accidentaly and scored an own goal. Chicharito never touched that ball after getting his penalty blocked, again, so he isn't supposed to play on the starting line up pr be on the bench with Manchester UTD. Giovani on the other hand is a great soccer player and got second best young soccer player in the world cup and he didnt score a goal which is actually not that bad since he isn't a ball hog and he is good for assisting. He has played in FC Barcelona as a kid at age 17 and he has scored amazing goals with them. Now in the teams he is in he doesn't get many chances because they don't think he is a goal scorer, but he never played in the Mexican 1st division like Chicharito and Chicharito was better off in FMF than being on Manchester UTD and if Giovani Dos Santos does ever play in the FMF primera division he will scoreabout 2 goals for regular matches, 3 or 4 goals in easy matches, and in difficult matches about .5 or 1 goal per game. Well it all depends who he plays for, he'll never go to Chivas de Guadalajara because his father played for Club America, he'll go to maybe Club America, Monterrey, CD Cruz Azul, or maybe Pumas de U.N.A.M. If he does switch over to FMF i wishes he goes with Monarcas Morelia help them alot after the dumb decision Tómas Boy made by selling Hugo Drougett, and if he does go therehe should just know that he would be the best soccer player they have.
