How they qualified Needed a play-off win over New Zealand to reach the finals after a shambolic campaign where they won only twice in 10 games in their group, missing out on an automatic passage to Brazil. World Cup high Hosting the World Cup in 1970 and 1986 was pretty special but Fernando Quirarte’s header in their opening game in Azteca in ’86 unleashed an outpouring of emotion from a country still coming to terms with the previous year’s earthquake which caused the deaths of over 10,000 people. His celebration tells the whole story. World Cup low Defeat on penalties to West Germany in the quarter-final in ’86. Those damn Germans and their penalties. Familiar faces Javier Hernández (Manchester United). The manager Miguel Herrera took over in October following the disastrous qualifying campaign where, at one stage, they went through three managers in three games. Herrera eased his way into the job with a 9-3 aggregate win over New Zealand. How in danger is he? 7/10. Surely they wouldn’t sack him just yet? Most likely to light up Brazil... Herrera turned to his home-based players for the two-legged penalty and Oribe Peralta didn’t let him down scoring five goals over the two games. Most likely to be sent home in disgrace... Tensions between European and home-based players may cause friction in the camp so take your pick as to which one of the big names will throw their toys out of the pram first, especially if they’re not being selected. Title odds: 100/1 The stereotype is… Lightning quick, highly volatile football. Plenty of spectacular goals and sendings off. The reality is... They would like to live up to their reputation – they just may not be good enough. Still, you can always kick people. What they're known for Tequila 30 per cent The Three Amigos 45 per cent Ponchos 12 per cent Tacos 8 per cent Mariachi bands 5 per cent How Brazilian are they? Not very, but they would like to be. How Google translates the national anthem Fatherland! Fatherland! Your children swear to you to breathe their last for your sake, if the bugle with its bellicose accent calls them together to battle with courage. How long does it last? A short, sharp and sweet 90 seconds. How to dress like their fans For men: sombreros, face-paint, Mexican wrestling masks. For women: often not an awful lot. Commentator's go-to stat Mexico have qualified for every World Cup since 1982, except for 1990 when they were banned. They went through four managers just to get to Brazil.

晉級之路 當時，他們需要在加時賽中打敗新西蘭隊來取得入圍決賽的資格。在此之前，他們經歷了混亂的戰局——在十場小組賽中只贏了兩場，錯過了自動晉級的機會。 世界杯高光時刻 特別之處在于，墨西哥曾在1970和1986年舉辦世界杯。1986年，費爾南多·基拉爾特在位于阿茲特克進行的開幕比賽上的頭球釋放了墨西哥民眾的對1985年發生的大地震的傷痛情緒，從他的慶祝中得以窺見。 世界杯低谷時刻 在1986年世界杯的半決賽上，點球決勝負時敗給了聯邦德國。 知名球員 哈維爾·埃爾南德斯（隸屬于曼聯） 主帥 米格爾·埃雷拉在十月接手墨西哥隊。此前，在資格賽中墨西哥隊三換教練。通過總計九比三的比分擊敗新西蘭隊，埃雷拉保住了自己的職位。 他的下課幾率 7/10.確定他現在沒有被解雇嗎？ 可能大放異彩的球員 埃雷拉用本土球員進行點球，奧里比·佩拉爾塔在兩場比賽中拿到五球，并沒有令他失望。 可能被提前遣返回國的球員 球隊中的歐洲球員和本土球員的緊張關系可能在球隊“大本營”中制造摩擦。 奪冠賠率：100/1 固有印象 閃電般快速，高度不穩定，許多宏大的夢想和球員被罰下場 球隊實情 他們不想辜負自己的名聲——他們只是還可以做得更好而已。 墨西哥的知名之處 30%龍舌蘭 45%多情三劍客 12%斗篷 8%炸玉米餅 5%墨西哥流浪樂隊 他們有多巴西范 不是十分相似，但他們樂于成為巴西人。 如何裝扮成墨西哥球迷 男士：寬檐帽，在臉上涂顏料，墨西哥摔跤面具 女士：通常不太多 解說員將會提到的統計 墨西哥成功入選自1982年的每一屆世界杯（除1990年外，被禁賽）。他們更換四位教練只為參加巴西世界杯。 |
