TEAMS: Mexico

A Mexico qualified fro the World Cup for the 12th time finishing as runners up to Costa Rica in the CONCACAF Qualifying Group.
With a mix of talented youth and skillful experience, Mexico will fancy their chances of at least equalling their best ever World Cup record of a Quarter Final place. This will be a tough feat though considering they are up against the much fancied Italians and a Croatian team that has not changed much from the one that came 3rd in France four years ago.
The Mexican coach Javier Aguirre will be hoping that veteran Luiz Hernandez can produce the form he has shown to the rest of the World in previous World Cup's and fire them to to their mission.
