As the most decorated team in the CONCACAF region, the Mexican national team maintains a fixture in the world of North American football. From their Mexico City headquarters, all the way to Brazil, the Mexican team will be donning their Mexico world cup home jersey to take on all challengers at the
2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, while anxious fans are eagerly waiting to see how their favorite team will fare against the undoubtedly fierce competition. Though they've never made it to the final round, team Mexico is looking fierce as ever and determined to do right by their fans.
Ranked 20 of 207, the Mexican National Team is ranked amongst the top football teams in the world, but they didn't get there over night. Since their formation in early August of 1927, the Mexican team has fought valiantly against overwhelming odds to become one of the most celebrated teams in football. Only with the support of their fans will the North American favorites rise above the other countries and take home the World Cup for the first time, and what better way to show your support than with a Mexico soccer jersey available at the Soccer Box store!
Team Mexico Fights for FIFA Glory
Though they may not have the numbers, team Mexico is by far one of the hardest working teams in any league. Fans of La Verde know that the team has stuck together through thick and thin, playing some of the toughest teams in the world to earn their spots in all 14 of their World Cup tournaments. Though they played host to the games twice, Mexico has only ever reached the Quarterfinals.
Of course, Team Mexico's best results come when playing on their home turf. Both of their FIFA Quarterfinal appearances have been on Mexican soil, and the livelihood of their fans is clearly one of the largest driving forces behind one of the most formidable teams in modern football. And while they may not be on familiar grass in Brazil when the games kick off this June, their fans can still make the team feel right at home by turning out to support them in a Mexico World Cup home jersey from Soccer Box.
After a notoriously tough qualifying round, Team Mexico has shown that they are not to be counted out as serious contenders for the 2014 World Cup. They have been sorted into Group A alongside Cameroon, Croatia, and the host team Brazil. After a crushing defeat at the hands of Panama in the 2013 CONCACAF world cup, captain Rafael Márquez and the entire Mexican team are eager to prove themselves to their fans and renew the colors of the Mexico soccer jersey a symbol of victory over adversity.
The Mexican National Team Struggles in the Face of Scandal
In 2011 alone, 13 of team Mexico's most important players were suspended or expelled from league play. In spite of such adversity, the team went on to qualify for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup with a nearly flawless qualifying round and a hugely impressive comeback victory over the U.S. The Confederations Cup, taking place in Brazil as a prelude to the football World Cup, is an extremely important event in the eyes of the Mexican National Team, as it is their first chance to gain the momentum they need to leave the mistakes of the past behind.
Tough opponents aren't the only thing El Tri has had to deal with in recent years. Several scandals rocked the team's foundation and saw several key players suspended or even expelled from the squad before important games. Despite some of the allegations against various players, fans of the team have yet to falter, proudly wearing their Mexico World Cup home jersey through the streets of Mexico City in the run up to seeing their favorite team in the biggest World Cup event in years.
No matter your stance on the recent turmoil of the team, their determination to reach the 2014 World Cup in light of all their setbacks shows that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Show your team spirit with a Mexico soccer jersey or home jersey, updated for the 2014 games!
