This was supposed to be Mexico’s summer, but their offense has been struggling and their entire team has been unimpressive. After a devastating loss to Italy and domination from Brazil, Mexico will need to get a win over Japan, who has looked much more impressive than El Tri through the first two games.
If Mexico’s offense continues to struggle, then there will be a major shake up for El Tri and a lot of questions to be answered leading up to the important World Cup qualifiers. Japan has already earned a spot in next year’s tournament, but Mexico has a long way to go and they can use this performance to build up some momentum heading in to the stretch.
