The Mexico national team face their first real test before the 2018 FIFA World Cup when they take on Belgium on Friday. Mexico are taking this game with all the seriousness it deserves, as Juan Carlos Osorio’s men get ready to take on one of the best teams in Europe.
For the first time since 2014, El Tri travel to the other side of the pond and their first of two friendlies comes in the form of number five FIFA ranked Belgium. For many, Belgium are one of the favorites to surprise in next year’s World Cup, and this match serves as the perfect barometer to assess Mexico’s real level of play.
