There will be no better chance for Mexico to give the legendary Guillermo Ochoa, playing in his sixth World Cup, a proper sendoff than against Czechia.
As Matchday 2 continues in the 2026 World Cup, the Round of 32 picture is beginning to take shape. Two of the tournament's three co-hosts, the United States and Mexico, have already clinched their respective groups and will advance to the knockout stage.
El Tri will look to close out Group A play on a high note as it takes on Czechia on Wednesday night at Mexico City Stadium.
The group stage match between Mexico and South Korea was almost the exact opposite of everything it was supposed to be. It was physical. It was a grind. It was slow to a crawl to the point the Mexican crowd at Estadio Akron eviscerated their team with boos as they walked off the pitch at the half.
