As one of the hosts for the World Cup in 2026, there will be pressure on Mexico to bounce back to form following their disastrous exit in the group stage at the Copa America. A chance to rebuild their form will come this Saturday when they take on New Zealand at the Rose Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest round of international friendlies in North America take place this weekend, but there will be pressure on the CONCACAF\u2019s most successful nation, as Mexico look to get back on track after being dumped out of the Copa America in the group stage over the summer. Javier Aguirre has made wholesale changes to the squad for the two matches over the next seven days, with experienced players such as Edson Alvarez, Hector Herrera, and Raul Jimenez all overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A response will be expected from Mexico, and there will be pressure on this new-look side after an underwhelming year of results on the field. The nation have picked up just three wins from their last eight matches, and they have suffered defeats in three of their last five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
