This is the group of Mexico in the World Cup in Qatar 2022 1:55
(CNN Spanish) --
Mexico, which arrives with some uncertainties at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, will face Argentina with a memorable undefeated record and Saudi Arabia and Poland in Group C.
The result of the draw discouraged many Mexicans, as expressed on social networks, especially after a cycle of friendlies in which Tri did not shine.
Here is a review of the first rivals of the Mexican team led by Gerardo "Tata" Martino, the dates and times of the matches to choose the next world champion.
These are the groups of the World Cup in Qatar: classified countries, matches and dates
The first rivals of Mexico
Mexico will face Poland in its first match of the World Cup in Qatar 2022, a rival that at the moment would seem difficult for the "Tata" Martino team because it has the best striker of the year, according to the Ballon d'Or: Robert Lewandowski.
But at the same time, the Polish team was the last place in their group at the Euro Cup last year, in the 2018 World Cup in Russia they could not advance from the group stage in which they barely managed a victory and for Qatar 2022 they barely achieved the classification thanks to the repechages, where he had a free pass because Russia was automatically disqualified due to Putin's war in Ukraine.
Then Mexico will face Argentina, one of the favorite countries to win the World Cup and with an undefeated history and an outstanding performance in the South American qualifiers for Qatar 2022. Not only that: the albiceleste, common enemy of El Tri, has eliminated Mexico in two World Cups: in Germany 2006 Maxi Rodríguez's goal in overtime kicked them out of the tournament and in the next one, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, an unmarked offside led to Argentina's victory.

Argentina, should Mexicans be discouraged?

Mexico will close the group stage against Saudi Arabia, perhaps the weakest rival in the group but one that could surprise.
The Mexican team has gone seven World Cups without playing more than four games and only reaching the round of 16.
The exception was in the 1986 World Cup, of which it was the host country and in which it played 5 matches (it was eliminated by Germany, the future runner-up).
This leads many Mexican fans to speak of 'the curse of Game 5' and to wonder why the quarterfinals are elusive for Mexico.
And every World Cup the same question arises: can the Aztec team end this World Cup constant and reach the quarterfinals in Qatar 2022 or even further?
