And so it continues. The Mexican NT were unable to break free of their shackles against the tougher, more orderly squads. With a 2-1 loss in Girona to a Swedish side who didn’t even qualify for the 2022 World Cup, Mexico have closed out their prep matches and are set to travel to Doha tomorrow where they will face Poland to open up their WC next Tuesday.
Many would think Mexico came out and “manned” the match from the beginning. And despite the fact they did have overwhelming ball possession (65%), it really never translated into real danger.
