Summary
- Mexico faces Belgium in their final match before the 2026 World Cup roster reveal.
- El Tri drew 0-0 with Portugal, exposing offensive limitations.
- Belgium recently defeated the USMNT 5-2, showing potent offense.
The Mexico national team is set to face European powerhouse Belgium on Tuesday night at Soldier Field. This match is the final opportunity for players to impress coach Javier Aguirre before he reveals the preliminary 2026 World Cup roster.
El Tri is coming off a 0-0 draw against Portugal, a performance that exposed significant limitations in their attack. Despite the draw, Mexico was largely outplayed by a Portugal side that never exerted full effort.
Belgium presents a formidable challenge, having recently defeated the U.S. men's national team 5-2. Even with potential lineup changes, Belgium possesses superior individual talent and has been prolific in front of goal.
This game is a critical final audition for fringe players vying for a World Cup spot. A strong performance could boost Mexico's confidence ahead of the tournament, which is now just over two months away.
