On Monday (14), Mexico confirmed the 26 players who will represent the country in the competition of the Qatar World Cup, which will start on November 20. Under great expectation, Mexicans will again have important names such as goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, one of the highlights of the team in the last world. Assailant Raúl Jimenez is also another of the top Mexicans in the Cup.
Mexico had a great performance in the Concacaf qualifying competition, when it secured second position, only behind Canada. The two selections had the same number of points, but the Canadians took advantage of the goal balance. With this strengthened base during the qualifying competition, Mexicans expect a good performance in the Cup.
The experienced Argentine coach Gerardo Martino will have the responsibility to lead Mexico in the World Cup match. In 2010, the coach achieved a great performance when he was in charge of Paraguay's team and, at the time, reached the quarter-final stage of that World Cup that was played in South Africa.
Mexico is in group C of the World Cup, which also has Poland, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. The Mexican premiere will be on November 22nd, at 1 pm (from Brasília), at Stadium 974. The opponent will be Poland, the attacker Robert Lewandowski.
