After winning the Gold Cup last July by defeating the United States in the final, the Mexican team began a process that will last several months, aimed at observing the candidates to play the World Cup.
Mexico, which will play two games of the group stage in Mexico City and one in Guadalajara, will bet on the World Cup to arrive, at least, to the quarterfinals, as happened the other two times that the World Cup welcomed, in 1970 and 1986.
