Mexico will face a tough task, in which they will be severe underdogs when they face Japan in the first of the Semifinals of the 2019 Toulon Tournament. Mexico, who finished in second place in the 2018 edition of the tournament, barely qualified to the knockout stage in what most people see as the easiest group, as they finished as the best second place team of all 3 groups. Japan, on the other hand, will come in as one of the tournament sensations after winning Group A, including a 6-1 trashing of Chile.
