Mexico may not have technically needed to win their final Group Stage match, but the squad was aiming to make history. El Tri wanted to enter the Round of 32 on a three-game winning streak.

“We know that it is obviously a very important game where if you win it, you would make history,” Mexico veteran player Alexis Vega noted, per USA Today. “Because it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to win all three matches, but we’re calm. We know that it’s going to be a very important match, a game where we have to apply what we’ve trained.

“Nothing’s going to come easily. … We have to be very focused, take care of the details. We want to make history, so we have to start tomorrow.”
