Mexico surprised many at the group stage. At first the team had broken Germany, then beat South Korea and only in the last round, having secured itself promotion to the 1/8 final stage, the side relaxed and conceded few spare goals from the motivated Sweden. Thus, the North Americans have good chances in the forthcoming tackle. The Mexicans impressed the most in the clash against Germany. “El Tri” looked simply great in defense, showing tough and rugged football, hard tackles and aggressive fouls. The team deprived the Germans from the ball or simply waited for a mistake from the opponent and then rushed in counter attacks. Thus, the Mexicans produced a brilliant performance against the defending champion and proved that it wouldn’t be easy to beat them. Mexico has an excellent squad which is a great mix of talent and experience. Besides, it is a very well-knitted side as the footballers have been playing together and thus know each other perfectly well.
It looks like Danilo and Filipe Luis will be forced to cover the wings and it doesn’t promise the Brazilians an easy walk in the forthcoming encounter.
Prediction for the match: Mexico to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
