Mexico 2010 World Cup Team

Mexico Football Team Profile & Form

The Mexican Football team qualified for the 2010 Football World Cup by placing second in the CONACAF qualifying region behind the United States. The team tied with the US on 6 wins during qualifying and also beat their neighbours once during their qualifying campaign.

The Mexican team hasn’t played much football with teams from beyond Latin and Central America, and it therefore remains to be seen how the team will respond to the precision football of the European teams and the flair of the African nations.
