Mexico is heading back to the World Cup for an eighth straight time. Whether it can improve on any of those past appearances is the big question for El Tri now that the hard part of qualifying is over.
With a 2-0 win vs. El Salvador Wednesday night, Mexico has punched its ticket for the 2022 competition in Qatar, doing enough to continue its streak of qualification despite a process that was uneven at best over the last six months.
In the eight-team Concacaf table, Mexico finished in second, behind Canada and ahead of the United States.
