CLUB INFORMATION

Mexico have a proud tradition of qualifying for the World Cup finals, but have yet to advance past the quarterfinals in their 15 previous appearances.

After a dismal start to their qualification campaign, they bounced back in style and have the ability to cause an upset or two in South Africa.

They will once again rely heavily on the experience of inspirational skipper Rafael Marques, who plays for Barcelona in Spain.
