Mexico will kick the entire tournament off at 3:00 p.m. ET Thursday in front of 83,000 fans in Mexico City.\u00a0El Tri<\/em>\u00a0will begin against underdog South Africa and play all three of their group games on home soil for the first time since 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the last time they reached the World Cup quarterfinals and the 40-year wait to win a knockout match has turned into a national obsession. Javier Aguirre’s side will be backed by huge home support, and there’s a belief this could be Mexico’s moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Mexico World Cup 2026 storylines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      How did Mexico qualify?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Automatically as co-hosts. That allowed Aguirre \u2014 in his third spell in charge of El Tri<\/em> \u2014 to focus on preparing his squad for this tournament at home. The results have been strong, they hold the CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup titles and boast a long unbeaten run heading into the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Guillermo Ochoa <\/strong>After Mexico’s first-choice goalkeeper, Luis Malagon, suffered a torn ACL, Aguirre turned to Ochoa, 40, to play in a record sixth World Cup, along with Lionel Messi and Critiano Ronaldo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Prep Matches<\/strong> Mexico have been in great form for some time. They’ve won their past three games in a row. Since the turn of the year, they’ve played eight and won six, drawing the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Reality check: How far can Mexico go?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Group A is one Mexico should get out of with relative ease. They could even win it. They will face South Africa, South Korea and Czechia; all teams Mexico can beat. What should work in their favour is home stadiums. So, while South Korea have defeated Mexico at a World Cup before, they haven\u2019t done so when El Tri<\/em> have had that advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
