Mexico

Known as "El Tri," Mexico is a passionate, technically skilled team that's become a reliable fixture at the World Cup but has frustratingly never made it past the Round of 16 — a streak their fans desperately want to see broken. Heading into 2026, they have the extra pressure and excitement of co-hosting the tournament alongside the US and Canada, which means massive home crowds and enormous national expectations. Watch to see whether that electric home atmosphere lifts them to finally break through, or whether the weight of it all becomes too much to handle.
