Mexico names FIFA U-17 World Cup roster

The FIFA U-17 World Cup in India is set to begin on October 6 and Mexico has just released their 21-man roster for the event. Mexico is in Group F , which many have named the Group of Death, along with Iraq, England and Chile.

Mexico is considered a world powerhouse in this category as they have already two WC titles (2005, 2011) and have reached the semifinals in the last three tournaments. Many people think this could be their best team since the 2011 team that won the title and will go with two stand out offensive players in America's Diego Laínez and Atlas’ Ían Jairo Torres.
