Mexico are set to face Iraq in Girona’s Estadi Montilivi at 3 ET / 2 CT / 12 PT in what is the first of their final two prep matches prior to the start of the World Cup. It’s their 8th friendly of the year (since April), through which they’ve amassed a total record of 2W, 2D, 3L. Not an ideal record by any stretch of the imagination for any country leading up to a World Cup, no matter what your goal in said tournament is. Especially when during that stretch, 5 of your 7 opponents didn’t even qualify for the World Cup.
Mexico vs. Iraq: must-win
