Guardado: Mexico facing 'perfect scenario' against Brazil in round of 16

El Tri is relishing the chance to prove themselves against one of the favorites to win the World Cup

Mexico captain Andres Guardado says the team has been handed "the perfect scenario" in the face of a difficult World Cup round of 16 match against Brazil.

El Tri head into the contest as underdogs against a Brazil side that topped Group E and is one of the favorites to win the World Cup. Mexico needed a point in its final group match against Sweden to win Group F, which would've seen it take on Switzerland in the next round.
