El Tri will start his way in the World Cup Qualifiers of the Concacaf . The Mexican team will receive Jamaica in an Azteca Stadium behind closed doors. Gerardo Martino’s team will have to leave behind the painful defeats in recent tournaments and start the road to the Qatar World Cup 2022 , on Thursday, September 2.
The delicate situation of Europe with FIFA has conditioned this qualifying day. El Tri will face its debut in the competition with important absences from the old continent. Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, Gerardo Arteaga, Héctor Herrera and Diego Lainez will not be present at the first three dates. Under these circumstances, a large number of Liga MX players were included in the call and up to 11 players who won the bronze medal in Tokyo 2020.
On the other hand, the “Reggae Boys” will seek to surprise at the Azteca Stadium and ensure that it will be a duel without the presence of fans for the FIFA sanctions after “homophobic screaming” . The Jamaica team has just achieved a good participation in the Gold Cup, by reaching the quarterfinals , only beaten by the United States.
In playoffs, these sele actions have clashed in 11 occasions. The stories favor Mexico with 8 wins, 2 draws and only one loss.
